You should call these companies and see if they can help you. I know that
they all make pistons but don't know if they have the other items that you
need:

you're confused?  not as confused as me!  why would you want to spend a
fortune trying to re-sleeve a d15 block when you can get a whole one in
good condition from a junk yard for practically nothing?  makes no
economic sense.

Stronger sleeves = more boost tolerance... As to why I want to build a
motor like this with a D15 block is just because I'm lazy :p and I already
have two D15's on hand

you want to boost a d15???  dude, sleeve strength is the least of your
problems.

what you're really trying to do is make sure the sleeves don't move
around - just replacing them won't do that.  the "fix" is a block insert
or "posting".  if you're serious about "boost", you need to go to a
b-series engine - aftermarket parts are available for those - not so
much with the d-series.

I can get just about as many perf parts for a D series as with a B
series, although there are a bit more for the B series I know. But
purchasing a B16A would cost me around 2k plus mounts plus ECU, etc...
And the D series is a little simpler design.

b16a1, $695.  unless you own a machine shop, you probably won't
re-sleeve a d15 for less than that.

also if you're planning to run boost, i'm sure you its a good idea to run
rods and pistons. we are using the eagle rods and cp pistons. the block
needs to be clearanced so the rods will clear though. you can run low
boost (6-7lbs) on your stock internals. we have been running that on a
stock motor for over a year daily, considering your fuel and ign. is in
check. another poss. is blockguard w/ upgraded internals.
