I dont understand the fascination that club integra has with rebuilding engines with stock pistons. Are you going to upgrade the engine or just freshen it up? If you are spending the money and effort to rebuild the engine then YEAH BEEF IT UP! If you dont have money to upgrade then just leave it stock until you blow it up.

Okay what do u suggest beefing up? I know the springs, valves, rockers,
Cams, rods and pistons, (cam gears?) New gaskets and seals upgraded.
I want to boost it. But only like 8 pounds. Just something reliable and fun.
And to get away from all the rich kids ricer'. Moneys not so much a problem as time.

PSI isnt a goal first of all. 8psi on two different sized turbos will net different results. My suggestion to you is if you want to keep it simple and under 300hp than dont rebuild anything leave it 100% stock. I can show you where to better spend your money.
If you are bent on rebuilding the engine then pistons and rods are what you want to beef up. The head work is not required and can be done later.

If the motor is healthy, meaning good cylinder compression and doesnt burn any oil then new gaskets and seals will do nothing. General maintence is all that you need depending on milage. New plugs, plug wires, cap & rotor, valve adjustment. At most look look at a new head gasket, tbelt with tensioner, water pump and ARP head studs.
