I dont see the point of a D16y8 Minime. A Minime build is when you put a D Series VTEC head on a Non-VTEC D Series. However the D16Y8 is vtec, Why would you put a different vtec head on it?
For Rods and Pistons, Eagle Rods and Vitara Pistons are a popular setup.
Pretty Sure a D Series will not be able to fully spool a GT30, Especially to 15-20 Pounds.
You probably should do more turbo research before embarking on this path. Unless you want to be a Dyno Queen a Smaller turbo that will give you more usable power is a good idea.
TurboD16.com is a very good resource, as well is our Turbo Section.
