Wow, that would be different. The carb will more than likely leak, so I guess you'll have to get special seals and the carb body machined to accept them. I know little about honda's so im not going to lend advice on the rest. If you want to be that radical, how bout a draw through setup with say, a 40dcoe? Expect more people to tell you to not bother than give advice.

Chipping an ECU costs 50 bucks. Dont let that discourage you. Getting a carbeurated turbo car to run well will be a hell of alot harder than chipping an ECU.
