oooh, project.....yeah, for that kinda didge, you should have no problems making your car plenty fast. I'd bump your compression up somewhere in like the 12:1 range, using a set of say JE pistons, or something along those lines, a set of crower rods (anything but eagle), some Toda Spec-c or Skunk2 stage 3 cams, and mod your stock manifold to use a 70mm taper bore throttle body, a nice header, test pipe, and exhaust, adn you should be golden. Keep in mind, I only mentioned the main components, you're gonna need a lot of little peripherals such as springs, retainers, injectors, fuel pump, ECU/Hondata/other stand alone, etc. But it's a good start. You may also want to very seriously consider sleeving it to a 2 liter. I'm doing a build up right now with a set of Darton sleeves, that I'm hoping should turn out very nicely.

Any way, good luck with it......

Later,
