Default after i week of boost, piston rings are gone. rebuilt on the way, what parts to get?

well im getting smoke when i accelerate, my motors bogs, stutters and doesnt pull at all. check my radiator, and its all good, check my oil, no coolant. car idles and runs fine but after about 30mins of running, i get those symptoms written above. i havent check my compression but i know its ****.

ok time to rebuild. i want to build a realliable boosted b16a, what kind of pistons, rods, rings? what should i change while im at it. how much you guys think this will cost including labor. thanks

its going to be a daily driver@7psi max

92 cx
boosted b16a(temporarily down)


i need a cheap car, anyone selling one?
