Default d stroked lsvtec good or bad

ok i got a 1991 integra with a b18a block an a jdm b16a head with skunk 2 dual valve springs an retaners an a type r p73 intake an a jdm xsi s1 trans with a 6 puck clutch an light wate flyweel an its chiped on crome well car runs grate now .......but i want a little more so what do u think of this i got some crane 2530012 cams i also have some ctr pistons what i want to do is run a gsr craink an rod with my ctr pistons an the crane cams the reason y i wana do this is cause of valve clearnce an i plan on boosting an i wana turn high rpms what do u think???? im open to all opinions

EDIT

"I have a 1991 Integra with a B18A block, JDM B16A head, Skunk 2 dual valve springs/retainers, Type R P73 intake, JDM XSi S1 transmission, 6 puck clutch, lightweight flyweel, and its running on Crome.

The car runs great now but I want a little more so what do u think of this?

I got some Crane 2530012 cams and Ctr pistons. What I want to do is run a GSR crank and rods with my CTR pistons and Crane cams.

The reason why I want to do this is because of valve clearance. I plan on boosting and want to turn high rpms.

What do you think???? I'm open to all opinions."

I edited you post so its easier to understand.

CTR pistons and those crane cams are meant for NA applications. dont bother going turbo/boost down the line. the compression will be too high.

figure out what you want to do. as spec r said those pistons are terrible for boost. hell even for NA they're not the greatest. using a gsr crank and rods kinda defeats the whole purpose of doing an lsvtec in the first place, the extra stroke of the b18a/b. you'd then essentially have a gsr engine, but with a weaker block.

if you want to boost keep what you have. you can make good numbers on stock internals, given the tune is good and the build isnt shitty. if you want to build for boost then get low compression forged pistons and rods. the stock crank is perfectly fine.

the best cams for turbo are turbo specific cams. i dont know which brands your preference lies with, but most common cam manufacturers have specific vtec+turbo cams that have less/none intake/exhaust overlap and different ramp/duration profiles that promote turbo spool
