Sorry mate but £1000 for pistons ?!?!?!!?! Who told you that ? A Complete set of Pistons AND Liners for the Esprit is only £900. Ok thats only 4 pistons but that includes Nickel Lined Liners !!!
You can have a custom set made for less than that. Omega forged pistons are very good and they can make them to what every spec you want.
What kind of power are you going for ? Having driven Marc Levy's Nissan Engiened D in the US and that has around 280 BHP. It's a monster to drive and is very scary. The suspension couldn't cope, the brakes didn't stop you and the car is lethal in the wet.
The Supercharge is the way I would go in the D as it is going to be easier to install and will require less moding of the existing exhaust that you have
