Just purchased a 1991 Civic Si DOHC 1.6 Non Vtec the other day with discs in the rear instead of drums :D its a D1618 DOHC so can I put a b16 VTEC head on it or any sort of other modification? like a D18 head?
i also heard these engines handle turbo pretty goodso can someone tell me about that?

if the engine is healthy , i would turbo it. You can not use vtec head on this engine. u can not use any b series head on any d series block.

yeah its very well maintaned and healthy for just over 200.000ks but the question is are they good at handling turbo or do i need internal work done?

200,000ks and turbo hmm that would be harsh , i recommend a rebuild first.

It's a D-series, I'd just turbo it. Could still be perfectly health.
Handles turbo well. Upgrading internals all depends on your power goal mate.
