i'd look into the 92-95 greddy kit. Good street drivability

its all in what you put into it. Allot of guys boost there SOHC motors, including me a daily driven turbo d16y8 or any engine is entirley concievable and done often.

No internal upgrade if you stay at low boost...say under 10 lbs if done correclty. I have seen SOHC run up to 16psi on stock blocks and be fine....it's all about tuning.
