wow..yea..u need honda friends..true..honda friends..there is a right n wrong way to build them no doubt...and vtec + turbo doesnt equal blown motor..just got to know ur boundaries..so now uve prolly changed your mind to wanting boost again and trust me..u will all motor just isnt enough nowadays..i have ls/vtec and its strong as hell but i want so much more..so anyways just get some low comp forged pistons if ur budget allows..if not..stock ls pistons will have about a 9.5:1 ratio which could take a good 10psi without problems..stock rings and bearings will work too..honda oem parts are very good btw..and the both gsr and b16 heads are reliable..neither is more reliable then the other imo..u dont need anything better then stock ls rods for up to 15psi safely..also use vtec water and oil pumps. and u should be good to go..goodluck...and dont ask ur friends for anymore advice..research....
