get some aftermarket rods, and some nice forged pistons..
i have eagle rods and cp pistons in my ls/vtec.
if you dont want to go the ls/vtec route, just use the ls head.
you can boost more on low compression.. you can also boost on high 0compression.
id recommend low compression though.. get some pistons within the 8.5 to 9.5 to 1 ratio range..
high compression turbo would be low boost and require a good tune, high octane fuel..

im using a gsr head.. with 9.0 to 1 cp pistons for b18b setup.. compression is like 9.3 to 1 or something because of the head swap..
