I don't know if the will fit or not but if they do, pretty much any pistons can withstand moderate boost in a properly tuned engine.

Yeah the pistons can, but the rods will snap like a twig! No D series rods were any good, and the D15 was the worst. I suggest you do atleast a D16 swap, then turbo. Like a D16Z6 or D16Y8, they both have VTEC and have turbo kits readily availible. With that swap and a turbo kit you are looking at close to 200 horsepower.
