when i do a d-series build up, i will be going with turbopanda's rod/piston combo (supra pistons and b16 rods)... search and you will find what i am talking about (if you dont already know)...

For the price of "turbopandas" combo you can almost buy proper forged rods and pistons, ie Eagles Rods and SRP pistons. Might aswell spend a little more and a have a safer setup. B16 rods aren't that strong.
