building an engine.
ok .. i just decided to get back into honda's and i have a pretty good start.. i have a turbo and manifold and a d16y8 head i know vtec isnt good for boosting but im using it.. so i need some thoughts on what pistons and rods and cam to use.. im going single cam!! so i can prove this punk at work that a single cam can spank his b16 runnin 8lbs. damn kids 
do i want to use a D16 with a d16y8 head. and im going to post the block.. but im not sure what pistons to run or rods and cam. valves and such.. thanks for your opinions!

Re:building an engine.
if you've got the money, get some eagle rods and either the suzuki vitara pistons or get the je pistons for turbo set-up, get a crower stage 2 cam with their springs and valves, get the turbo stuff on, tune that bitch like crazy, and smoke him!! I'm rooting for your D man. D power

Re:building an engine.
hmm..id get eagle rods, (dont forget your gonnahave to notch the block) srp pistons, (i have emm and like em) your gonna need some kind of block support, block posts or block guard or if you ahve the cash sleeve it. get arp head studs too. make sure you get a decent sized turbo. like a t3/t04e 50or57 trim 48or63 a/r. something that will make the power that the block is biuld for. im not too sure on cams. i have a jg502T cam in mine with a mild port job and some kind of after market springs. im looking at around 200whp with about 8psi on my block with stock rods and srp pistons, arp head studs, mls head gasket, t3/t04e 50 trim 48ar. and a ---- load of tuning.
goodluck
