Built properly, you will have no trouble holding your 20 pounds of boost. I am wary of anything bearing the JG name, but apparently their crate engines are top notch (according to a very knowledgeable source) and are ready to take on 30 psi of boost right out of the box. That might be a good start. Otherwise, I'd recommend getting an engine and resleeving it with Golden Eagle sleeves. These are warrentied up to 60 psi of boost (at least for the B16A they are). A good source for JDM engines is this number: 1-800-338-soko (7656). Ask for Keiko.

What kind of engine are you looking to get? B16A (Civic Si/Civic Del Sol VTEC), B18C1 (Integra GS-R), B18C5 (Integra Type R), H22A (Prelude), or combination engine (one of the sweetest combos is a B20 block with B17A crankshaft and either a B16 or B18 head - although it is a pricey one)? Ask more questions is you need. I just built a boost-worthy motor myself, so I've already traveled many of these roads.
