Default 95 Sol Swap/Build

I just recently purchased a 95 VTEC del sol i'm wanting to run this until i fully build a gsr engine from the ground up and then swap i'm wanting the gsr block with the b16a3 heads i already have in the sol. I'm planning on boring the block sleeving it getting aftermarket weisco piston, eagle rods(and crank i think) after market cams too what would be the best rods/cam/crank and intake manifold to purchase i eventually plan on boosting. of course i'm getting headers exhaust and all that i plan on using a cai unitl i boost, should i go with high comp. pistons unitl i boost then sell and replace with 9.0:1? i'm pretty much asking for a list of decnt parts and everything i would need for the swap i heard gsr axles too?

There is no such thing as best.
Go do research in the All-motor and Forced Induction section of this site and then come back with a parts list that we can check.

well the end go is boost but that will take over a year with money and college and a baby on the way so i'm wanting to do an n/a set-up until i can afford boost.lol Basically wanting the parts that will work best with both of course pistons will have to change and cai come off i think i heard of a way of keeping it though

lol you have a LOT to learn....All motor(N/A) is a money pit it may be fun but not worth it for a DD. boost is a lot cheaper and you'll gain a lot more from it. you'd be wasting money building a high comp engine then having to completely re-do it for boost. have you considered a K swap ? still more fun then a boosted B-series imo....


also I see NO GAIN in a a3 head on a b18c1 block.

I've looked into kswap but I've heard they cost quite a bit an this will be my first swap so I figured stick with a b series so I don't dig myself in too deep. So I should go ahead and get low comp pistons if I plan on boosting anyways? And should I still bore and sleeve the block if I plan on keeping it dd I want about 275-300 whp is this achievable without boring and sleeving , I wanted a turbo with a toggle switch on the psi going from 7psi- 15 or 20psi for racing.

The a3 head was for better flow poor mans type r setup, I thought it would be better for the turbo?
