Yeah it was a nice car. Right now I'm kind of fixated on Miatas for some reason so once I save up the cash I'm going to try and snag one.

 

when you do the engine swap to a B18C1, what kind of turbo kit application would you use? I know that you cant use a turbo kit from a B16 on a B18, but would all the piping (downflow, intercooler, etc...) still fit even though you just have that engine? I guess my real question is if you can use a turbo kit like drag or if you would have to build your own setup. Thanks in advance.

 

Actually... although not positive, I think that all the good kits for both the B16A and the B18C use T3/T4 turbos... so if this is true, you could easily just buy the kit for the B16, and bolt it almost right up. Remember that there is only like a max 12 horsepower difference between the 2 motors ... I remember reading somewhere that the B16 was under-rated from factory anyway to help sales of the Integra GS-R. Some double checking may be needed to be sure though.

Good Luck.

 

yes... while it is only a max difference of 20HP stock, when you slap a turbo on, the difference will start to show.
