B18b turbo setup : Questions about pistons and rods
hi everyone !
I planning to boost my DC integra this winter .. and I have some questions
I plan to boost @ 9-10 psi .. little safe setup , after all this car is my daily drive . I look for a Garrett Air Search T3 turbo .
Should I upgrade my pistons and rod for wiseco pistons and eagle rods ?
or
Should I buy brand new OEM pistons and rod ?
How much can I pay the OEM ones ? .. Because the forged pistons+rod cost approx. 800-900$ on eBay
I will buy a used b18b block and rebuild it completely , to have a brand new engine .
So .. what I should do ?
Thanks !

i say buy the wiseco pistons and eagle rods...cause trust me, after u go to 10psi u'll wanna push more...i recommend not goin past 13 or 14psi though if u do so...but make sue u get apr headstuds along with a new cometic headgasket too, just to be safe

i agree with the wiseco pistons, eagle rods and the arp headstuds but not the rest....
get the aftermarket piston/rods so you wont have to worry about upgrading anymore after that, also get the arp headstuds but use an oem honda headgasket
after that you will have to choose a turbo to get the spool characteristics you want and the power you want
wiseco/eagle combo can handle 400+hp so you can choose your turbo after that a
