I heard you can push the internals on a d16z6 to about 210 whp. but i wanted reliability so i wanted to know if getting lower compression pistons and stronger rods will do the trick? im just look to boost a "modest" 10 psi daily driven kinda thing.

That's what I'm doing, just lower your compression would be just fine. Try using a gasket to reduce compression. A lot cheaper than buying lower compression pistons.
Yeah it would forged rod and pistons. Stock honda conrods are pretty weak and are said to break if you make more than 50% more power than stock..tune it well and I'm sure you could boost a lot more than 10psi
