well like everyone here would tell u, you'd have to lower your compression.. thats how hondas get their power.. from high compression.
so ull need to get some low compression turbo pistons and rods as a turbo on your stock compression will only increase your compression even more and make ur car go boom boom. not sure if the camshafts will help u out. u can try shaving them if anything.
turbos.. you could use a ball bearing t28 or a t3. sydchrome make turbo manifolds that fit the t3 but id go with the t28 as its cheaper and will come onto boost quicker.. but then traction will be an issue because your car is so light. you'd only be running around 5-7psi anyway unless you COMPLETELY rebuild your engine to be able to take more boost.. if u do that then ur possabilities are endless

Sorry but your way off track...

The best idea would be to research before you go ahead with anything. You can then use that information to save money firstly and know what your talking about.

Generally people run 10psi on a B16A with no problems, thats on a stock engine aswel. If you want to piece together your own kit then you can save quite an amount of money. This is the path ive been following for a couple months anyway..
