It's 100% carburated, not half carb'd and half EFI. What that would be is TBI, or throttle body injection, which is either 1 or 2 fuel injectors injecting fuel directly into a carburator. 3rd gen DX and LX's are all carb'd.

Turbo is definitely possible, but be prepared to do alot of other stuff besides just the turbo, cuz once you start doing stuff like that it's pretty easy to blow up your motor if you cut corners or skip stuff.
