Im smoking alot during vtec which is due to rings mosts likely but was thinking about putting in some fresh ones bc the motor was previously boosted and I have not clue what condition they are in. And was thinking of putting in some ctr pistons to up the compression to bout 12.5.

have you run a leakdown test? i will garuntee you need to overbore the motor if you want it to last. just putting new pistons/rings will work short term. spend the money once and have a safe new motor. otherwise, you'll continue to smoke
