using a trash comcactor to make the 1st gen eclipse turbo smaller for fitment issues is a pretty good idea..

From what I understand the 14b is actually a pretty common choice for people doing junkyard setups on their civics.

yes you can fit a 14b turbo onto your civic. the manifold you need depends on whether you have a d,b,h,k series motor. so please specify.

oil isnt a problem. you have two options as to what you can do.

A: get a golden eagle oil sandwich adapter. this sits in between the oil filter and block and has two bungs, in which u can run oil lines from. i got mine from...

B: you remove your oil sensor in the back of your block, get a brass T, and run a line from there.
