well guys i finally started the build. got my p29 pistons today$95 for all 4(i think its a good price). i took the old rods and pistons out of my motor and im dropping them off at the machine shop tomorrow to get pressed in. i will be getting new rings also(y8 rings). i picked up a p30 ecu wich is what i wanted so i can use the knock sensor and raise the rev limit a bit. ill be converting the crx to obd1 also. once i get the shortblock back together i need the cam and cam gear. im also thinking of getting an act flywheel. should i also upgrade the clutch? i dont think its needed but i could be wrong. i know everyone rags the y8 but damn my motor is so clean inside its not even funny. is there any way to raise the oil pressure on it?

well like i stated earlier i got the p29 pistons for $95 and the machine shop charged me $40 for pressing them on my rods. im still waiting on the bearings and rings from the dealer. i figured since i had it apart i should just put new ones in.
