Engine(d16z6) is getting low on compression, and ive been contemplating a turbo setup. So I was planning on installing eagle rods and some aftermarket pistons. I know that to install the pistons I need to hone the block and use new piston rings. But for the eagle rods I read somewhere that the main bearings are different from hondas factory ones. Could someone please tell me what is needed to connect eagle rods to a d16z6 crank? Also, do you need to notch the block to make room for the rods? Thanks.

So the honda d16z6 bearings will work fine with the eagle rods?

Call eagle and ask them what bearings you should use. You'll also need a piston ring compressor to put the pistons in, some plastigauge to measure the oil clearance. Torque wrench is also a must for the rod caps. If you're not sure what you're doing you might want to take it to someone who does, you can mess some **** up if done incorrectly.

Youll also want to check the cylinder walls for any imperfections...and gap the rings correctly...it might be better like he said to bring it to a professional.
