mini me build

[speedncivic]

I have a 96 civic DX and want to do a mini me conversion with a D16Y8 head. However I want to build the motor, especially the head. I am planning on sending the head to the shop(multi angle vale job, wet-tank, shaved, and port & polished) to be built with the parts that I buy which are: Skunk2 valves, Skunk2 dual valve springs, Skunk2 titanium retainers, Ferrea locators, Ferrea seals, Manley locks, a Crower stage 1 street cam, and a Skunk2 cam gear. Is this a good way to increase horsepower and make a strong head if I were to turbocharge? Do you have any ideas on how to make it better?

Also, I will be upgrading the fuel system: I want to use 1 of the 2 intake manifolds, the D16Y8 manifold (I heard it was considered the D-series type R manifold, is that true?) or a Skunk2 manifold (Both will bo Ported and Polished), Venom hi flow fuel rail, Venom fuel pressure regulator, Venom T-body, Aerospeed hi pressure fuel filter, Walpro 255 lph fuel pump, Precision Turbo 310cc injectors, Full stainless steel braided hi pressure fuel lines from tank to engine compartment. If you have any suggestions please let me now.

I also have another thread "building a head" it is similar to this one but some things are different. Please reply and help me out.

It sounds like a decent head for a turbo, but did you build up the bottom end of the motor, or are you running low boost levels so you don't blow the motor up? Personally i would be more worried about the crank, rods, and bearings on the crank rather than the heads in a turbo build. The fuel system was also a good plan, but do you have a way to precisely time and regulate the fuel for a turbo build?? With a turbo, you also need to retard the timing so much for every pound of boost to prevent detonation.
