That depends on tuning.

An idiot tuning = blown motor

Someone who knows what they're doing = money


If thats your car with the lambo doors, I'd suggest getting somebody else to tune it

heh, lambo doors.
Uhm, anyways...
You should check the conditions of the motor itself to, with that many miles - though being a honda its probably in good shape.

Some of the things to check are compression, piston surfaces, connecting bearings, etc... etc...

my crx dx has 152k and im boosting 8-9psi (untuned - i dont really care if it blows) for the last 4 months.... so far so good. i say honda engines are more resilient than you would think.

oviously you need to boost 15 psi on that bitch. lambo doors allow you to increase boost 4 psi at least
