Ok, i found a 1993 Civic with nice body kit and wing, nice interior, and everything is pretty decent to really trick out. The motor is a B16, and it is a completely stock motor except for a cold air intake. Would this B16 be worth the time, effort, and money to fix up and possibly turbo it. And to turbo it what has to be done internally to the motor? And how much cash would i be looking at spending if i put the best of the best parts on my motor? I know very little about these motors.....but ive been reading constantely, and if i cant install something than i will either turn to this site, or pay a mechanic i know to do it.....and thanks a lot for everybodys help

You can turbo a B16 with stock internals. But you cant go thinknig you can make 400 whp with stock internals. 8-9 PSI, Probly around 250 whp guys?

i wouldn't shoot for anything more than 6 psi on stock internals (especially with an engine that already has high compression) because honda pistons are pretty weak.
