Engine Rebuild
As stated before I blew my engine, I rather rebuild than buying a used d16y8... as I wish to boost in the future...
What would be a sweet combination of Pistons, Rods and Valves? without going unnecessarily expensive. Also what's a good site to get these parts at great deals?

Thats one of the best deals on i found internals, and is what will be going into my motor. Cant offer much advice as far as headwork goes though, as i havent done any research in it.

looking at that link gave me another question to ask... What effect does increasing the cylinder bore size have on performance? Does it harm it or help it?
And does any performance part company offer stock compression pistons? I sure don't want to be driving my car with less compression than stock without being boosted, and I dont want to run higher compression as I will wish to boost later on.

So you'll have a D16 but technically it'll be a D18 or whatever if you catch my drift

Also if I increase the bore size would I have to change the rod specs as well?

If you got the 9:0:1 pistons from that link the power difference would be barly noticable whilst your NA and youd be set up nicly for boost. Like stated above cylinder bore will effect overall horsepower, most people done bore out the cylinder for the power though, its more to clean up the cylinder to assure the best function possible with the new piston

How does 9.3:1 compression and increased displacement sound for a future boost set up?
