I've built lots of motors. I have not built my GA16DE yet. From my experience you will need to put a good set of rods like Crowers and some good forged pistons. With these 2 things you should be able to run 100 shot. It would also be nice to find a metal head gasket and o-ring the block. You could then run 150 shot. I built a Type R Integra and ran 250 shot with a progressive controller. It made lots of power but was very hard to get tuned. It eventually melted 2 pistons. Now we have 180 shot and everything is okay.
