Default building d15b block

Hey everyone! I have a turbo d15b non vtec with built head but stock block... My questions were was what forged pistons, rods, amd sleves should I use, because im having a hard time finding ANYTHING on the d15b since they are not used as turbo builds often. I heard the crankshafts in the motor should be bullet proof. Is that correct? Im running 18psi at the moment and im awaire i will blow the block soon.. P.S i dont want to hear about how i should swap to a b.. That is not really in the qestion right now.. I also heard that the d16y8 rods will fit in the d15b, wiki says both rods are 137mm in length but i dont know how much i trust that site.. Thank Yall!

You probably don't want to hear this but, find a 1.6 block. Parts are esier to find amd you get that extra .1 of a liter to work with.

As someone who is building a d15 up right now . . . the only reason I'm building one is I got the motor for free.

All of the 1.6 stuff is way easier to get parts for instead of mixing and matching from the smaller rod sizes.
