Definatley belivable. Doesn't F-Max use a T3/T4 hybrid? There are guys using the small as hell GReddy YD04 pushing 200whp @ only like 10-12psi, so 230whp with a T3/T4, no problem. As for how long it will last, that's another story. I had a couple friends with D16Z6's boosting 15+psi on the stock bottom end till one had his sleeves warp, and the other had a rod let go (in his motors defense, it has 145k miles!) Go with a good mild build:

Pistons & rings
Rods
ARP bolts and studs
balanced and polished crank w/ new bearings
block guard

You can now boost 15psi+ safley and eaily squeeze 250whp+ out of the D16. My intention is to do all of the above + Skunk2/Venom intake mani w/ 60mm B series TB, ported & polished head w/ 5 angle valve job, WeCams turbo cam and some tweaking with a Hondata or AEM EMS and seeing well over 300whp with an SFP built turbo setup (T3/T4 or T04E w/ .48 A/R)
