The stock 8 valve CX motor probably won't take too well to any amount of boost for any length of time. A better idea would be to find a nicer, newer d series and boost it, such as: D16Z6, JDM D15B, D16Y7, or D16Y8.

first off, stop typing in all caps,
it pisses people off.

to answer your question,
first, get a single cam vtec motor.
then turbo that.
