Hey guys, I am in the middle of doing a m20 turbo build and I have decided to go with the e bottom end and i head. I am also gonna use the e rods and i pistons because of the low compression which is perfect for boost. My question is since I am going to keep my rods and pistons stock is there any recommendations that I can do to strengthen these parts so that they can last a long time and be stronger? I will appreciate any1's opinions, thanx.

Odd thought..
You know, many years ago, I bought a Z1, sight unseen in CA, flew there, drove it home after extensive service at Bill Arnold's shop.
Picked up off his shelf a brand new (Powerplant?) unused M20 twin turbo header. Thought to myself, hey, the Z1 has an M20, who knows?
Any one want to buy it?
Could make for a very, very slick installation for someone who wants to do this....
