can a d15 block be bored out to fit pistons and rods made for a d16 or is the stoke different?

if not do they make pistons/rods for d15?

They share the same bore (75mm) so no you don't have to bore anything.

different crank though so you won't really have too many options for rods at all, the exception is the d15b vtec - you can use low cr d16 pistons, and d16 rods. I say low cr b/c the deck height & crank, etc will raise the cr from the pistons intended use. i.e vitara pistons in a z6 is like 8.8:1 so in a d15b it's like 9.5:1 or something along those lines.

so you your opinion would i be advised to just try and find a d16 block and not mess with the d15?

EDIT: the engine is out of a 92 civic dx

I would. I mean, tranzex aka mista bone has run some good times with dx motors, but really, d15 performance is a hard thing to achieve, and can cost lots and lots of money because there aren't very many off the shelf pieces to use.
