Do NOT waste your time in taking a block apart to just put pistons or rods. You do both at the same time. I seen eagle rods go for less than 300 dollars. Lower compression doesn't mean more power. It actually means less. If you are set on the idea of a b16 boosted for 350whp put forged rods and pistons 9.0:1+ CR with a stock head and gsr cams. I know that's my boys old turbo kit and it can make the power with minor mods. I also remember your ej1 that made 315 whp on 11.5PSI that was I C Sharp's car on here. I have also seen many other b16 stock internals anywhere from 280 to 400 ALL stock. But You don't want that if its your daily driver. I make around 350whp on my bone stock never molested gsr.
