Changing Pistons To Performance Ones

This Question is specially for racer f1 bhai as his knowledge is quite appreciateble in cars,I want to change the pistons of my civic to low compressions ones to be able to give higher shots of nos,probably 120-140 shots,i know that high compression pistons wod be more good in this work but in the future i plan to put turbo in my car so thats y the shop keeper said that go for low compressions one.Can u tell me that do i have to change the connecting rods aswell for this car n do i need to change the block aswell to with hold the immense pressure?? my car is a civic 2001 prosmatic,with these details can u tell me the prices of good low compression pistons n connecting rods found in dubia?? Wod after these changes my car wod be able to withhold around 150 shots of nos wihtout trouble,n one more thing,do we need to improve our fuel intake for higher shots of nos?? does that means that i have to upgrade my fuel pump.fuel rail n fuel injectors?? waiting for ur reply

150 Shot Nos on a prosmatic? You're ambitious, i'll give you that. You might wanna peek under the hood at your intake manifold. One backfire and thats history. Anything over 80hp and you need a high cap fuel pump. Pistons and rods are okay for the same hp gain but if you're going 140, look up a forged crank too.
