10 psi is kinda of pushing it. i'd go with the minimum of 5-7psi. but if you are sleeving it then 10 would be cool

93 ex = D16z6 It can take 10psi, as long as you have a decent fuel setup and some tuning

i would rebuid it with
-new bearings
-new rings
-have cylinders honed
-maybe lower compression pistons(much better for turbo)
-thicker headgasket(cometic or greddy brand)
-shot-peen the rods (relieves stress, stronger rods
-do a valve job on the head, maybe port/polish it mildly if your feeling ambitious
-change all the seals(front/rear crank seals, cam seals, etc)
-port intake if you want, would be good for turbo,
-bigger throttle body possibly

slap a turbo on that thing, set up a good fuel managment setup(uberdata or hondata=the best way, or a rising rate FPR if your feeling cheap)

You do not need sleeves to run 10 psi. If anything, worry about the rods.
