Yes, you can use the ACT clutch disc with oem pressure plate.
As for the forged pistons, you can run K20A pistons, as the bore is the same. However, I wouldent bother with forged, I would just get high content slilca aluminum and run colder plugs.
If you need ANY engine parts for an F series engine, http://www.bisimoto.com is your answer.

I wouldn't advise someone of the OP's knowledge to run K20 pistons. They're far from a perfect fit, and I seriously doubt he's looking for 11.5:1 cr if he's planning on boosting.

Unfortunately no. The stroke is determined by the crank. It's just not that simple. F23 rods are the 'bastard child' of Honda. They aren't interchangeable with any other engines.

Some vendors supply them as a Piston "Kit"; Pistons, Piston Pins and Rings.
Other vendors omit the Rings. The reason would be the customer's preference of ring type, due to Cylinder Metalurgy and Surface Coating.
You've all manner of types available:Chrome Moly, Cast Iron, Moly filled cast iron and others.

AZ RACE ENGINEERING ! crower makes rods for it, and CP makes two options for pistons 8.5:1 is one and the other wont help you because compression will be too high at 11.5:1.

just go with custom units, for the price you'll be better off. Start contacting some of the more popular manufactures and see what they can do for you.

For rod's Crower and Pauter both make rods. Pauter is a little more but can be had quicker the Crower. As for piston's CP and Aries both have shelf unit's.
