RE: all motor??
Fatigue is the major cause of connecting rod failure. At Carrillo Industries, we use proprietary steel, manufactured and forged to our own custom specifications. After experimenting with virtually every other reasonable material, we have found this chromium / nickel / vanadium / molybdenum FORGED alloy to be the best product to meet our stringent requirements for strength and durability.

RE: all motor??
Before you do anything, you have to decide how fast and how much money you really want to put into this project. If you want to jus build a fast and fun daily driver and not planning to make over 400hp on boost or 250 on all motor, then the b16A block is fine. If you want to make more power, I would suggest using an LS or GSR bottom end to start with a better foundation. It will have a bigger displacement to start with and thats better in the long run.
the B16 can make power as well, but from experience, if you have goals of a high hp all motor or make over 500hp turbo, the b16 is not the easiest choice to make.
Id' like to help more, before you spend a dime on anything. Feel free to email me or discuss it furtheron the forum for more input.

ya you need to sleeve at a goal of 400hp. I would suggest the GSR bottm end if possible, but if not, at least the LS for an LS/VTEC setup.
Cams: no need for aftermarket cams on turbo setups. we make over 700hp on stock GSR cams.

meh...theres a junior at my school with a 500hp+ DD that he built the engine himself. i dont know what kind of car it is. hes in my friends precalc class tho. so i could find out by tomorrow. he was on the cover of Import Tuner a while ago...dont remember when
my point being...400+ hp doesnt mean it cant be a DD
