Default Bore ideas

Son is have a b18c1 completely broken down everything worked be for it pulled it all apart but it had been sitting for 7 years andown wanted to replace all the seals and gaskets and just look over the internals. Now that I have it all broke down I have port and polished the head and just fine tune little stuff. My question is should (while I have the engine all apart) I bore out the engine, I want to turbo the car but I also just want to get the CRXsi back on the street dose anybody have any ideas or thoughts on boring the engine if I'm going to turbo it, or should I just put it all back together?

I would only bore it out if you have damage and it's absolutely needed OR your looking for every bit of HP and increasing displacement is the last thing left. My opinion.

Pics can't tell you very well if it needs to be bored or not. The cylinders should be measured for taper/out of round/etc. and then the decision can be made. Have the block measured up, don't order pistons until you know either way.

Agreed 100%.
Take it to a machine shop and have everything measured. They will be able to tell you what you NEED to do. Even though it ran fine 7 years ago, the bores may not be perfectly round. You will want the bores perfect, especially with a performance type build.
Good luck!
