Default Learning about turbocharging my 1996 LX

Ok bro's, I wanted to make my first post as informative as possible for all, so here goes. I'm currently looking into turbocharging my 1996 accord LX, I currently have all of the normal bolt ons. I don't want to go the kit route in order to save some money, but I'm having difficulty in trying to discern what the big differences are between B series enginges and accord enginges. What parts do I really have to pay attention to in order to get this turbo installed correctly? Essentially I'm trying to find out what makes civic turbos different from accord turbos, so that I can find/purchase the right components. I have seen numerous products for civics but only kits for accords. Please help! Thanks alot!

Already tried searching buddy, but no one ever explained the differences between civic and accord engines and the way that effects turbo parts and instillation. Maybe if you read my post you would have picked that up.
ok then......lets see accord 4 cyl engines are 2.2-2.3L, civics are 1.5-1.6L, engine size difference, so the rod, and pistons are different, duh!!!!! if u take a look at the engine bay for both accords and civic u'll see size differences, some accords like the 4th gen have small room for turbo. civic and new gen accords have lots of room for turbo. now all u had to do was look in the engine bay for that, another obvious, DUH!!!! oh both civic 4 bangers are Sohc or Sohc vtec and obviously the DOHC vtec off the SI. other than that pretty much the same engine design, both have their own weaknesses and strenghts. oh btw y do u want to know the differences, just look up for a civic engine then accord engine then compare dumbass!!! u fawking n00b!!!

i've said it before and i'll say it again

Hey man... leave the noobs alone. THIS ISN'T HONDA TECH. So leave the flaming there...

There's a lot of info out on the net about turbo's and Accords just try changing up what you're searching for. just hit all the honda boards and search for F22+turbo and you'll be rewarded with thousands of posts dealing with the subject...

and for the installation stuff try DRAG, FMAX or Turbonetics websites... I bleieve they have online instructions...
