i drove my friends Integra GSR (B18c1) and i think my boosted D could pull on it. It's definitely got some snap, but i'd say it's power is like my D at 4 or 5 psi, but i can go all the way to 9.5 PSI. With boost you learn SO much if you do it yourself, i'd recommend it.

Not all the parts but the majority of the part you can probably use. The exhaust manifold won't fit, but I think that's the only thing that clashes. I agree with flip, you do learn a lot when you turbo it yourself, especially when you build the engine to boost it. But it all depends on what you wanna do. I always think of my car as an accomplishment because I can run with the faster cars and I'm only running a sohc.

A turbo is probably the best route, most, if not all, will agree you should do the work yourself.

and why no H22 94? A little over 200 HP and a bunch of torque bone stock sounds good to me I've driven a civic with that swap, it's pretty crazy lol.
