i recently blew another head gasket in my old d series...the block had 170k on it and the head had like 6k when i blew it due to a fucked up radiator cap i didnt catch

anyway, im looking to do all the work myself, (as i take pride in stuff like that and i want experience with it) but i really have no idea where to start..

i know i want:

Low(er) compression pistons

upgraded fuel system (heard alot of good things about RC injectors but also heard about DSM ones as well)

as far as turbos, im not real sure what size i want but i know i dont want a ton of lag just to have 1k rpms of useful power...im open to any suggestions as far as all the turbo system components go as im new to this...ive owed two boosted eclipses before but i want to actually learn how to do this so...

i want to keep it streetable(run pump gas and not kill tires through 4th gear) so im not real sure what i want out of it...i would really liek to hit ATLEAST low to mid 200's

i know this is all over the place lol but if anyone recommends any parts that i might need LMK and ill do some more research on it

thanks
