Default should i turbo my h23?

my 93 Si has 115000 miles on it and im thinking of either adding a turbo on it as well as engine work for the turbo or just swap with a h22a. would my motor be able to handle a turbo with about 6-8 psi? i want to be able to run at least in the low to mid 14's. which would be a better route? or are there any other ways to make my h23a run faster without nitrous?

If you looking just for mid 14, I think bolt on with some good tunning would get you there.

aem cold air intake, greddy header, hi-flow cat or test pipe, apexi n1 exhaust, and finish it off with a vafc and some dyno tuning.

that should get you into the mid-low 14 range. good luck

Not on an h23. besides why get a VAFC on a motor without VTEC? just get the safc for the h23, but really modding that motor isnt enough. your not gonna hit low 14s with it. swap in a jdm h22 or turbo the h23 but be ready to rebuild it if you go turbo.

I could get in the 14's with aem cold air , dc sports 4-2-1 header , powercore exh. , holley adjustable fpr , and a couple of free mods . 93 prelude si {h23} with 150k on it . since then I put in a stage 1 clutch and lightened flywheel and the turbo is going in this weekend . the cold air and header will be up for sale after , if intrested otherwise it will be on ebay.
