D15B7 boost project

[SoDak]

I'm looking into boosting my daily, pushing 220,xxx miles and the oil consumption keep going up. I would rather build a boosted D series than do another swap, working on a B16 CRX swap. I would like do the boost build on a budget, going to to slowly gather the parts and do a complete build. I would like to run 20LBS boost MAX. I've got a list off what i need and where i can get them, but i'm stuck on pistons, are there any pistons and rings i can get form another engine (suzuki vitara pistons in a D16). Are there other options?

the vitaras are the easiest to get ahold of and are cheap... i would go with them. better rods might be hard to get for the D15 tho...

looks like it, i think i might be boned for D15 rods. looks like i would be better going with a D16 block, crank and con rods.. unless i can find something that will work.

i believe a company called FJT (or possibly a guy on a forum) makes a vitara+rods setup for the D15... they are decently priced from what i remember too.

crower is the only one that makes d15b7 rods i believe, and they are not cheap. You're better off picking up a z6/y8
