my air fuel mix was like 13 to 1 when i dyno'ed my car at 6 psi. id say its somewhere between 12-12.5 at the 7 psi im running now.

turboing an itr is not that stupid of an idea. i personally think it is for a DD car. props to dustin for doing it but reliability is proably going to come inot play in a few months. the b18c5 motor was never meant to see boost. it can take a little but was not meant for it in the way a 4g63 or ej20 was. i personally think the jrsc is not a good match for an itr, maybe more so for an ls maybe a little less for a gsr. if you do sc it the vortech kit would be a good way to go. another good route would be the ATI Kit this would be a reliable kit for a DD. but i'd really consider some major tuning and possibly some internal work, not nessicarily low comp, but new forged pistons, rods balanced crank rings rb's and mains. just general beefing up of shite...
and boosting an h22 (5th gen anyways) is a very EXPENSIVE and time consuming propisition if you're looking to run anything over 10psi. stupid ring lands...
