what are your plans with the motor.???? if its boost or high hp all motor... i would go with the ls rod with 1st gen supra pistons.. i hear it good for high numbers o boost search it and see what you can do... tryign to make a d16 a 1.8 it would be cheaper to just get a b18a1 pretty much just a drop in... mount kits are super cheap now too.. so thats a thought
