1. The oil pump does not determine the pressure, the pressure relief spring does.
2. All b series oil pumps are the same, the only difference is the OBD2 pumps have a mounting location for the crank fluctuation sensor.

You should have around 75 PSI above 3k rpm with any pump.

you should be ok.
all 96-up pumps are the same, earlyer non-vtec pumps are rated different because of the spring. I would upgrade to a gsr or obd2 pump(have to change plastic belt cover). If your sol worried about blowing seals( wich doubt will happen) you can put a restrictor on the turbo feed line.
