this is just on a stock motor...block guard, thicker head gasket, basic t3/t4 setup and a hondata 2b....
but speaking of lawnmower engines...some dude with a t/a got his goped to be faster than his 12 second LS1 car. I think it was a chainsaw motor on nitrous....i saw the vid, it was sick.

assuming your turbo will bolt up to the new manifold....for instance if i tried to move my apex turbo onto some random b series manifold i doubt it would bolt up correctly.

I have to get in on this:
Everyone: A sohc vtec turbo is a damn nice car for the money. Well, duh, everyone knows that a DOHC VTEC is better but is it worth throwing out a D16 motor with less than 50K on it? I love Hondas because we ARE the underdogs. You should have seen the guy in his turbo Miata when I passed him.
People around here have seen my car run and they like it because they never expected a SOHC to be what it is.
inspyral + Jkan2001: Notice how the guys that say swap have never driven/raced a turbo SOHC VTEC? We know our cars and our cars are tight. If you're like me, then you love beating those DOHC VTEC guys and their big heads. Have you made non-believers into believers? I have and I love it!

Oh, another thing, IHI turbos bolt up to our manifolds. HeHe, Subaru STI's run IHI turbos :thumbup:
