B16A spec, where to source parts ?

[stevieturbo]

I'm new to the Honda world, but do have good experience with other turbocharged marques.

I need to source some parts for a B16A that will be turbocharged ( it was originally built by others, and now has all the pistons in pieces, broken very badly in the ringland area )

I'd like to be aiming for a genuine but safe 250crank HP perhaps a little more. I have done a little searching, but if there are any Vendor/Sponsors on this board, ive yet to find them ?

From what i can gather, I need the following.

Forged pistons and rods, circa 9.0:1
ARP Head studs ??
ARP Main studs ??
Head gasket ??

At what level is "blockguard" required or reccomended ?

Who do you guys reccomend for these parts ? and reputable brands ( on a budget )

I see mention that the v tec may require some work on these motors for FI in respect of cam timing, is there any advice on this subject ?

Sorting fuel system is straightforward, and I intend using a Zdyne for ecu ( live tuning makes life easy )
Whilst I can use a computer, PROM burning etc is not something I want to get involved with, even if that is another option with some of the free tuning software available.

Thanks, Stevie

Bump for what appears to be a quiet forum.

If all you want is 250 to the crank out of a B16 you dont need to touch the internals of the motor. just boost it and get a good tune.

Thanks, but the previous tuners already blew the engine up, so the pistons need replaced, so may as well do the rods too at the same time.

Initial goal is for a genuine 250, but would want room for further power at a later date if the need arises.

Most parts are sorted, but still waiting a response from Zdyne to see if the ecu fitted to the car can be upgraded.
It has the letter codes # 37820-PW0-E00
