Default 91 hb motor swap

ok guys im new to the site and i need alittle help. my 91 hatch has a crappy lil 1.5 and i want to swap it for a 1.6 sohc v-tec. my question is will the motor bolt right in with the factory 1.6 mounts or will i have to move some stuff around? also i plan on turboing the car and i heard that the motor can hold up to 12 psi on factory internals is this true? if ne 1 has turbo setups on their 1.6 i would like to have all the details o them so i could get some ideas for my setup. all help will be greatly appreciated

Yes all d series are pretty much interchangable, Just need vtec wiring...

12 psi would not last long on a stock sohc motor unless you got it tuned really good and were not an ******* to it, It could last a long while if done correctly tho...

You need to get some coffiee and do some serious research before you start dropping cash on parts, You will be much happier

12psi on what turbo? That number is completely irrelevant until you pick a turbo. A small turbo at 12psi will always push less air than a large turbo at 12psi. A more important number to worry about is wheel horsepower.
