The B18B1 is one of the best N/A engines to turbo. GSR engines run 8 PSI with stock 10:1 CR pistons. With the B18B1's 9.2:1 you can run 12 PSI of intercooled boost. The T3 will make up to atleast 15 PSI.
Anyway, running 12 PSI, with proper fuel management and tuning you can run atleast in the 13's. And when I say intercooler I'm talking air/air intercooler. Also, get a 3" straight pipe exhaust system. Depending on where you live, the emissions might require you to put on a catylitic converter, but the turbo counts as a muffler.
I should warn you though, do not run more than 14 PSI on the stock sleeves. The rods/pistons are good to 12 PSI like I said before the B18B1 is the best Honda engine to turbo from the factory.
The b18B1 is racer's choice!
