um. no. ringlands on the pistons are much weaker.
stock d16 rods stand up to +200hp all day
eagle rods require forged pistons.
forged pistons require aftermarket sleeves.
Ridiculous $$$ for <200hp

i didn't read it all but most used stock d16 or d15b vtec motors with good results.
a few w/nitrous or turbo used forged piston/rods
good luck on your build which ever you decide.
