Alright sounds good. My bore is bigger than standard that's why I was wondering which gasket to go with more input would be helpful

Re: boosted and built b18a headgasket
Go to a honda/acura website like acuraoemparts/etc, get a 1994-2001 B18B1 headgasket (MLS, multilayer steel). They're relatively cheap and as good or better than any other. I just measured a gasket and it's 81.65mm; I know my OEM sohc gasket is working perfect on my 75.5mm d16.
The only time I'd get one cut 0.5mm over 81.5mm would be if the piston is less than 0.01" in the hole. At that point I think I'd go GE, since IIRC they use Honda HG's. You may have to call them, but I'm sure they make them. Otherwise there's always the 84mm HG from the CRV...

Yo coupe. So just order one from acura oem parts offline and will be good to go with a 81.5 mm bore

OEM is the best choice.
But I did push a Felpro from autozone at 320WHP for 8 months before I sold the car. Never had issues with it. ARP headstuds securing it down.
