what do I need to build my 1997 ex engine, for turbo?

if you want to up the boost later build...

You can run as high as 15-28psi with nothing but rods and pistons...

And even them you can get away with budget items...

There's a guy on H-T from taiwan that sells kits with b16a rods matched to some odd toyota factory forged piston that's only available overseas...

Drops right in... I think you may have to notch the block (have to for after market rods too)... but that's about it...

With nothing but that you could run 18psi all day long with no problems... he runs around 20-22 on occasion with nothing else but a block guard and a thicker head gasket.

But as mentioned... there's not point in spending the money on internals for a kit... spend the money on management or injectors.. a fuel pump or some better pieces than came with the kit... like bov or intercooler...

good luck.
