Default question about turbo

I have a D16A6 engine in my '94 honda civic lx. Would i be putting too much strain on my engine if i put a turbo on it. if not how much hp do you think i could get. is it worth the money? Should i put a new head on my block? If some one could help me out that would be great.

(I allready searched and could not find any thing)

About the turbo, as long as you don't go crazy and turn up the boost too far, your engine can handle it.

you have a soch non vtec the turbo is not whort it b/c your motor can only take 5 to 6 pounds of boost that is about 60 to 70 hp to the with a good turbo kit. you should put a head from soch vtec motor. batter then that you can gat the hole motor on ebay for like $300 to $500 dollors.

ps. But if you wanted you build out that motor and run alot more boost.if you want to bay a turbo gust for a littie more it s not worth it. you can gat more power from cams and other N/A ****.
