Seeking advice on my mild B18B1 build

I am rebuilding a B18B1 and plan to use the following parts. Some things I already have, some I am about to order in the very near future.

Skunk2 Intake Manifold
62mm Throttle Body
p72 Pistons (usdm gsr)
380cc Injectors
Tri-y Header
2.25" Exhaust (catless)
OBD1 ECU Phearable Baseline
port matched head & minimal decking

My question for the fellow Honda folks here is... Has anyone had a similar setup? If so how similar and what was the power outcome? Truthfully I am not really trying to make anything too special, just a trustworthy fun car. Had this project for a while now. I believe it should all work together quite well. Open to any and all advice, but please don't be a butthead if you don't really have to experience or know of reliable source information.

Guessing the compression ratio will be between 10 to 10.5:1, probably on the lower side. All these online calculators I have used don't really give you an exact reading so it is hard to say. Hoping the fuel to air ratio is alright, that's my main reason for posting this thread honestly. If you are curious of the brands of the parts listed feel free to ask. Didn't find it 100% necessary at the moment.

Just use the P75 ECU with OEM injectors. The basemap your talking about is just a base for tuning. Using OEM injectors. So, even if you were to get tuned, you would still need the OEM injectors to get the car to the rollers. Then swap them on the rollers.

The OEM injectors can support the power this build will put down. Hell, OEMs can be used with a small amount of boost if that tell you anything.

I would use a 2.5" exhaust minimum.. 3" if you decide you want to swap to more power later on down the road.

The P75 head is one of the worst flowing heads of the non vtec style. Alot of work will be needed to make it flow. Your better off sourcing a Vtec head for the $$ youll need to make the P75 do something worth a s**t.
The rockers on the non vtec heads dont like to be revved past 7200RPMs, so If you think your going to rev to the moon, you have a nice surprise ahead of you.

Heres my build for you.

B18
ITR replica pistons
ARP rod bolts
New rod/crank bearings
Hone the walls
source a vtec head, send it for a swim and have it checked.
PLM Toda replica header to 3" exhaust
I would use a 68mm (minimum) TB and port match it to the intake. (the S2 and Blox are exactly the same.)
new clutch and resurfaced fly
New mounts or Windo-Weld the old ones

If you need help on how to build it, google "how to build a reliable LSVTEC"


Edit, youll need an OBD1 conversion/chipped ECU and theres counless basemaps for ls/vtec out there.
