Get everything from the top of the block up, and the ECU. Do a search for mini me for a specific list of parts. Internals would be a good idea for anything over 200hp or 8000rpm. Your internals choices are limited to Crower, or custom rods from another manufacturer, and plenty of OEM or aftermarket piston options.

you will have to use the exu from the z6 as this ecu has the data on it to control the VTEC
unless the ecu that is already in your car is a VTEC ecu. . . from what im lead to believe anyways ahaha
