Are you looking at building on a budget or is money available?

You can use some OEM pistons and get some GOOD compression numbers from the D series. Combine that with a quality intake manifold, a good cam, like one from ZEX or AKME and you can have a fun car. I have built tons of D series here locally for guys and they are fun motors, most of them make more TQ than B16s do(and no i am not including LS and gsRs in that statement, only B16s)


Look on the net for a combo kit, alot of them have everything all the way down to the gaskets as a complete kit. i know Nippon makes piston sets for them, also look up P29 pistons
