I wouldn't port the head yourself, could do more harm than good. something like that needs experience. Honda heads flow pretty good for being from the factory and porting them wrong can hurt. someone who knows what they are doing can increase the flow.

cam is a good upgrade, will help HP more than the other mods.. throttle body will improve initial response.

I would use the injectors that match your harness. sonce you are using VX harness, use OBD1 injectors. I think vx and d16z6 injectors are the same. d16z6 heads are worthless I will give you $15 for yours j/k :D
A good complete d16z6 head might be worth around $100, a little more with the valve cover.
Eagle rods are a very good buy, I bought them and I've seen them take lots of abuse in boosted motors. As for pistons, go with vitara 75.5mm pistons. you can get a set for less than $100. they are cast not forged, but you shouldnt need forged pistons for a NA d16 build unless you plan on crazy compression. if you want to go forged then expect to spend $250+ on pistons
