How about read all the articles you can. The understanding required to turbo a car yourself is heavy. I would recommend reading on exactly how a 4-stroke engine works and then specifically how that is related to honda engines. Knowing nothing about cars and putting a turbo on is a resipe for disaster. Would you apply for a job you have no skills for? No, then why would you put a turbo in if you didn't already know how.

Cadracer turboed a carbed SBC...it's the same principal.
Make sure your intake to the carb can take pressure and won't leak and ad a fuel pump and a return line and put a FMU in there voila..there is you fuel management.
I had 2 friends turbo there Peugoet like that...it's easy.
the fuel injected honda civic/crx from till 87 used external fuel pumps...that would be easier to mount.
