there are 300 hp turbo mivecs in Australia; Daniel Ramoutarsingh used to race a turbocharged mivec (mirage) in wallerfield......so the answer is yes

i know the fella who worked on the engine personally, and he gave no indication that the block or head was changed....he told us that the 4g92 mivec engine is an excellent engine for turbocharging, as is

naything can take boost
how well it is done will determine the reliablility under boost

^^^ that guy of your left out some details .. because that not true ..
Bang for the buck its not wort it ..
1st .. you will have to reduce the compression a mivec runs 11- 1
2nds .. intenals anything more that 7 - 9 psi your engine will blow up .. the mivec pistons and crank are build with light weight in mind ( its not strong enough )
3rd .. management you will have to get your working becuse you got the map and bigger injector also the mivec to keep talking with each other
4th the mivec rockers aren't very strong ( light weight thinking ) anythink above 12psi and boof there gone
the 300hp that was mentioned earlier is pratically a a whole head and block internals redone on the mivec engine from rpw

firstly, mivec comes with a steel crank, no problem there
a set of glx pistons will be used, they will have to be treated to take the heat....$200 tt per piston
valve springs can be re used, they strong enough
most expensive addition will be the management system
no more than about 9 lbs of boost
