RE: d16 turbo
Your friends are smart. If you turbo your motor with your current knowledge of supercharching, you will blow your motor, research.

RE: d16 turbo
Your pistons and connecting rods can most likelycan handle 6-8lbs on a small turbo, but it is enough boost to lift your head and blow the headgasket even on the healthiest of engines. If your engine is in good condition after compression/leakdown testing, order yourself arp headstuds and a headgasket from your nearest honda dealer before boosting. Look into a t3, t25, or equivalent sized turbo, well suited for the size of your motor. You'll also need a high performance clutch, because the stock clutch will wear down to nothing fast. Good luck on your research.

RE: d16 turbo
t25 turbo is going to be a torquier turbo setup which will be harder on your rods. and it will have a lot less top end power, but it will be a pretty fun dd'er
t3/t4 turbo is more suitable imo, boosts around 3600rpm and will net you around 200+whp safely with 8lbs of boost and a good tune. headstuds arent a nescessity below 220whp, but always the safe bet, plus there easy to install.
hell, sov has his ek coupe boosted to 220whp on 8lbs for 6 months on a bone stock d16y8, and his head never lifted, you "should" be fine as long as your compression checks out, id say keep the numbers within 5-7% for 8 pounds
