2nd also need to replace my gaskets on the engine just wondering if it would be the same gasket set for my first gen as for a b16a2. i know a guy seeling one for a b16a2 just wondering if that would be the same set for my first gen?
3rd just need to know what spark plugs you guys would go with for this turbo set up.and if you think i need new spark plug wires aswell.

2. Those gaskets will work fine. All non OBD critical parts on a b16a2 should work with your b16a.
3. NGK iridium or Denso iridium. High quality spark plug wires are essential to a good turbo setup. Accel, Nology, and MSD make good wires.
If it were me, I would go to Rocket Motorsports and get these Spark Plugs, he modifys them and they make more power on a dyno than Iridium ones.

Just click on the RM Modified Spark Plugs, also get some REALLY good spark plug wires. How much HP will you be runing, what kind of tuning are you going to have on this car, have you changed any internals at all?

im runnnig a totally stock b16 with a t3/4 turbo, the car is running a chip p28 and its tuned by slpitfireperformance.com this guys hold the record for fastest front wheel drive in canada. he tunes lots of peoples cars i know and they have great results. i have seen my set up done twice and the numbers are 286whp and 290whp running 6-10psi.

Best leave the boost at 6-7psi until u can lower the compression a bit. Easiest solution, thicker headgasket. Best solution,lower compression pistons.
