ok i have a b16 in my crx with a turbonetics t3/t4 turbo kit runnin 10psi and i think i fucked up because it started to run funny so i did a compression test and in the 1,2,4 cylinders it read 60psi and in the 3 cylider it read 180psi but on my wideband it didnt say it was runnin rich so im not sure what caused it so i was thinkin should i rebuild my b16 with pistons and rods or should i go ls/vtec turbo and money is kinda an issue

You need to slow down and write a little more clearly. I think if you're on a budget, you're probably better off getting an LS block and using your B16 head to build and LS/VTEC. You can usually get an LS block for $2-400 in decent shape whereas the piston/rod/bearing combo is going to run you over $1000...your choice though

Even if you leave the ls block stock. You are going to be around 300 whp at 9-12 psi which is going to be plenty in a light car.

would it be safe do run the stock pistons and rods in the ls?

there are a lot of people who run on stock LS/VTECs and stock honda blocks for that matter....i'm one of them....i'm making pretty good power for running on stock internals
