    Depends if its a B or D series engine, B is high compression and needs low comp pistons. D can run up to 9 psi. Ive been in a D16 turbo and it was bloody fast! went of the clock in notime (140mph).

    BTW Stay away from SSautochrome Kits there very bad quality and the welds on the manifold crack lot.

    forged internals as standard on hondas

    There are ones in the states that run 300Whp on standard internals.

    Yep, I'm pretty sure a standard B16 can be turbo'd but it'll run at low psi..
