Is the HX Engine (D16Y5) any good?

Yeah, I currently own a 1997 Civic HX M/T (D16Y5) with an AEM intake and Exhaust, and i'm just wondering if the SOHC VTEC-E is any good to modify or to even turbocharge. From wut I've read on H-Tech, some people turbo'd their HX and they got their car from 115hp to 160hp and 164 lbs torque. And if it's possible to turbo a D16Y5, is it worth it to Turbo the Economy VTEC-E and what parts do I need to Turbo it. I'd really appreciate it if u guys helped me out.

I would say it is worth it if you dont have super high goals. I turboed my HX before and it was fun. I am about to turbo it again and use a chipped P28.
