If you are only going to be running 6 - 7 psi on an engine with 140k miles on it, 102hp, and without any type of engine management or boost contoller, then i would say scrap that idea. You will get some gains (i'm guessing anywhere from 30 - 60 hp), but it definetly wouldnt be worth all of the work. Instead I would go for some kind of engine swap, because you will have the same, if not more, horsepower than if you boosted, and you would still have the option of boosting to gain even more horsepower.

 

I have found that stock 4G civic engines actually make damn good sleeper engines. I have a friend who has a 90 standard HB (D15B1, 70hp/82 lb-ft. stock), and he runs 10 lbs. and a 40 shot on stock internals. The only thing he had to do was convert to MPFI (pretty simple). He runs 13's regularly, and it's a daily driver. The 4G D-series engines have really solid bottom ends for their size, since they have cast basket braces under the crank, so they are able to hold together pretty well.

 

The D15B8's rods are practically toothpicks. I don't know bout the D15B7 but I'm guessing that they are pretty much the same.
