I would just go on the marketplace and to junk yards and piece together your own kit because you will spend much less and have better results. But yes adding a turbo to your sohc will be a great alternative to doing an engine swap.

*sigh*
Nobody can tell you what's better for <u>your</u> car...
A swap relies on all motor, in the world of 4 bangers, forced induction (turbos and superchargers) apps are a lot more bang for your buck. So if you get a B16 swap maybe you'll be putting down 138whp. Though if you spend 1500 or 2k on a turbo system and tune you can make 198whp on your blocks stock internals.
In my opinion boost is better. You can't push ur D much over 200 b/c the stock internals can't hold much more in terms of power. Also, buy a wideband O2 sensor, and learn how to tune it yourself. PGMFI.org is your friend, learn how to tune it, get it chipped, get a chip burner, and tune it .
Use a chipped P28 w/ an OBD-IIb > OBD-I conversion harness or Hondata to tune though, don't use a FMU, waste of money .
As for what turbo? Well I'm more of a Greddy fan, but Edelbrock makes really good **** and has been around for a bitch of a long time. There's a site around here that sells greddy drag kids (everything minus intercooler) brand new for your car for 1500 bucks. Not a bad deal. Though for low boost applications a lot of people prefer to shop around, search market places, etc.
Go to http://www.homemadeturbo.com.
http://www.turboD16.com
http://www.d-series.org
A lot of people assemble their own turbo kits with old saab and DSM equipment (injectors, turbo), get a custom flange welded on for the downpipe, and buy your IC off whoever..and you're just a tune and some piping, and some other small **** (like oil feed lines) short of a full kit.
Piece it together, it's cheaper, you'll appreciate it more, and you can bend the kit to what you want, not just "what it comes with."
