You can actually do a hybrid build using 2001-2005 civic GX (natural gas) pistons and internals on a D block. They did a writeup in a honda-tuning issue on this called super D, where the guy put down around 170hp with 136trq , at a 13:2:1 CR. Try PM'ing the user and Mod, Bense. I believe he knows a thing or two about this type of build.

You have an abundance of piston choices.

I'm running P29 (88-89 Integra D16A1) pistons in my 1988 D16A6 engine and I've got a touch over 11:1CR, but they increase CR in a VTEC engine differently.

Here's a fun CR calculator to play with:

Punch in the various engine set-ups and check the estimated comp ratios.
