D16Z6 too many miles??
Ok I'm probably going to buy this '93 civic sedan with a D16Z6 it has already run 144K miles the engine should be ok for a few thousand miles of boost right??
I wanted a hatchback, but they are kinda expensive here and all the cheap ones have ugly dents and rust and puny DPFI engines...really sucks

That motor is just getting broke in. Some boost will help it break in better. 
I would go with at least 10psi at first and then take it to 14.
