I've gotten a '89 CRX si recently, and I do plan to do a swap within the next two months. I was considering the B16A 1st gen (160hp) over the B16A 2nd gen (170hp) for the price and added simplicity. However, would the 1st gen motor be optimal for off-the-shelf forced induction kits?

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I've looked around at JC Racing chargers, Vortech chargers, and the $3k Greddy turbokit. IIRC, they only list applications for the 99'-00' Civic Si. I'm guessing this is for the 2nd gen B16A, but would they also work with the 1st gen?

Please let me know what would work out best. Likewise, if there are other reputable turbo/supercharger kits out there that are noteworthy, please let me know. Thanks!
