1994HondaAccordEX

I've been around other forums for a while and just happened to stumbled accross hondaswap. I did a search around and found most of the info very helpful. However, it just raised a biggest confusion ever.
I have a 94 Accord EX Auto [f22b1 SOHC VTEC].
My original plan was to drop in a JDM H22a (92-96) OBD1 block. I think it's the only closed deck H22a. Anyways, I set my goal to be higher and want to boost it - aiming somewhere from low 13s to high 12s [I don't know what numbers i should expect to the wheels].
With stock internals, I think it should run fine with 7-8 psi from a Turbonetics T03/TO4E 60 Trim [I think that 60 is pretty average since it spools up fine without that much of the lags and can offer higher ends] - I think at 8psi, I should get about 275hp, that's what they claim for a stock prelude though.
But also, i've heard from many other people suggest that I should get the H23a DOHC-Non Vtec from the earlier prelude series for much less, rebuild it and turbo it.
But the H22 folks also state that there're more and more H22a parts and application available for future tuning.
So the main question is that:
What set up can help me achieve my goal for street all go with lesser budget, more stability and better setup. I don't want my motor to go bye bye due to lack of proper setups.
Thanks everyone.
