Look up the kit from rcautowork on his website www.rcautoworks.com its like 450 for rods and pistons he ran the same setup with a 60 trim up to 550hp then had fuel issues .
If you are local to the Chicago area he remachines block and installs them all new bearings all new everything for the bottom end 2200$

You have a nice build going. Do you know how to tune on Neptune?

As of right now I know enough to get it started and a idle built and basemap then adjust it good enough to not blow it up but I will be getting it dyno tuned multiple times at rcautoworks ...
I plan on learning tho I been reading and watching as many videos as possible ... I tuned a na motor on a vafc back in 06 lol ...

Do you know any good sites to get me some more knowledge ?

Sounds like you're going about it the right way I think the next step to gaining more knowledge is registering for a tuning course, either online or in class.

I didn't realize there was tuning classes ...? Local junior college ? The guy that tunes for rcautoworks is an old buddy I'm guessing I will be there and learn a lot while my car is on the dyno ... I understand how you have to dial in fuel ratios for each map cube weather it's mbar or psi per rpm and I understand the formulas that the ECU automatically processes every time the curser moves from cube to cube . I'm sure with time I will fully understand

Vitara build should be a potent setup.

Any reason why you are going vitara? Typically those are pretty low compression builds which was good many years ago before better tuning technologies caught up.
Now it's a shame to go low compression with a dog of an engine when out of boost.

I was tempted to go with different pistons but that's what my shop recommends ... Comp ratio is at 9.0-1 on a stock head mines re machined and block is resurfaced so add .1 ,.2

Looking in your first pic;
The new head is sitting upside right flat on the table.
You should really put it up on blocks or flit it on its side - bent valves are no fun.

I am also boosting my d16A6 stock at the moment. I had a question on OBD0 to OBD1 conversion i have the jumper for my distributor and ECU, but i bought the ecu jumper off ebay and am a little scared on if its a true plug n play or if it will fry my chipped and basemaped p28. I was wondering if you possibly had a diagram for the wires going from a OBD0 pm6 (out of my virgin CRX Si) i believe to a OBD1 p28
