This may help and it maynot. I'm gonna say it anyways since no one has posted anything yet. I have a '00 Si and I know that stock internals can handle a 8-9 psi boost. But that is a DOHC VTEC, I don't know what your SOHC can handle. I just wanted to give you that much to see if you can get a rough estimate of what it can handle.
Turbo Psi on my stock internals
I was thinking of getting this guy to turbo my engine for me that will boost 9 psi on my stock internals (for $1000 canadian). Hmmmmmm toast my engine or wha ? Whats the MAX I can boost with a custom or greddy turbo on stock internals on my SOHC. And what about the clutch, tranny, bottom end ?
And the car is and will reamin a daily driver, im never gonna boost more than 9 lbs.
Thanks !

did you mean to say 6psi of good boost is better than 9psi of bad boost???pushVTEC said:
If you want to turbo the SOHC, go with Greddy.
It's cheap, reliable, fast spool up.
It's right in your range too.
You can leave your car bone stock and run 5.5 psi right out of the box. If you want to run higher than that, I suggest getting an intercooler. The blue box that comes with the kit can handle a max of 8 psi. I am running 7.5 psi at the moment though.
Make a post like this in the turbo forum. You will get tons of responses from other members that have the same kit as me.
