Default Engine Build Up

I plan on putting a turbo in my car in the near future, however I have 107k miles on it so I know if I want to get any real power out of it I'll need to do some rebuilding. I was thinking of going with new pistons, either at 9:1 compression or 10.5:1, new piston rings, block guard, and head gasket.

What other internals would I need to strengthen my future turbocharged car and which compression should I go with, 9 or 10.5?

What motor are you running? I'd say if your motor is in good condition, you can turbo it now and just keep the boost at a responsible level.

I have the stock D16Z6 engine. I'm looking to get 200whp out of it if I can with a T3/T4 hybrid turbo.

If you don't know wich one of those pistons to run you need to do some reading. Go buy a engine blueprinting book. Just because it doesn't say honda on the front doesn't meen you can't learn somthing from it.
