You don't need an after market crankshaft. You are better off using OEm bearings. A good compression ratio for a turbo Honda is around 9.5:1. Just read around in the Forced Induction forum to get more ideas.

If your crank is damaged, I suggest you get another OEM crank.

It's up to you what injectors you run.

You need to visit the Forced Induction forum and do some research. Nobody is going to spoon feed you everything.
