CP pistons. You get either stock bore, or up to 85mm.http://www.cppistons.com (ask around, IIRC there are places that sell them cheaper)

Nismo or Cometic hg. As boost_boy (Dee) to sell you a Nismo one. Cometic: zerothread?id=139877

Shot peen the stock rods. Check with your local machine shop on this one. Anyone else want to give some location advice here?

Felpro gasket kit. Go to your local parts store and ask for one for a 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX SE 1.8l.

Use a S12 200SX CA18ET water pump.

No clue about bearings, but I bet Dee, Ryan, Rafi, Sean, or Tim could tell ya

Manis: Make em yourself. The SSAC exhaust mani is supposed to be okay now. I had to sell mine before I could intall it LOL.

You got a turbo picked out yet? May I reccomend a nice Garrett GT2541? Should nearly get you to that 350whp mark with little lag. Also look into the GT2871. Laggy, but will give you more headroom. Let us know how interested you are and we can reccomend some housings for those both LOL.

And you can find everything else here LOL:http://engl-labs.tamu.edu/clas...e.htm

I've got clevites in mine. You can also go w/OEM Nissan bearings as well.
