Default lots of questions about the b16a2

alright i am getting a b16a2 with a sleeved block with aftermarket pistons and rods in it. what is the best brand for these items?

cam gear
cams
valve springs
clutch
flywheel

pretty much whats a good brand and what stages should i get of these? i am planning on turboing the car as well with a t3 greddy. thanks and let me know if i should do any more beefing up before i put the turbo on.

AEM cam gears
If you are going turbo, I have heard that the closer you stay to stock spec cams the better, so maybe you want to look at some CTR cams. They are the most aggressive OEM cams.
Crower or Skunk2 make some killer Ti springs/retainers so you can really rev that sucker, especially with the piston /rods you already have.
I have heard nothing but good about Exedy clutch/flywheel. The "stage" will depend on how much Hp you are looking to make, but don't get a stage3 if you dont' need it.

Are they low compression aftermarket pistons or what?

im not sure if they are low compression or not, ill have to ask him what they are. im getting the block in about a month, but im getting the swap in two weeks. so i got some time to get some purchases around.

if you're looking at turboing then the GSR intake/ITR exhaust is the best OEM setup. other than that im going to agree with Sniper...except you probably dont need Ti valvetrain unless you plan on boosting past 400 or 500 hp.
