Default boosting a 13 yr old engine?

Hi all, n00b here just starting to get the feel of FI. I'm seriously considering going FI on my B18A, I drive a 90 Integra. Right now it's got about 220k kms on it, not sure how much that is in miles, but i was wondering if i can still be able to run a turbo on this engine? or is it just going to detonate on me the first time i take it out on the road?! please help thanks

yeah just make sure it has good compression, if it does then its a good motor. and should be just as good as a 2yo motor with the same compression numbers...

unless u do internals stay low on the boost though!! even a brand new B16 couldnt do 15PSI, for very long that is.
