Default natural aspiration conversion

Whats good,
I go by the alias Q, I've owned about two boost cars from my R32 gtst4t to my R33. My most current project to date is a 93-94 Acura Integra equipt with a b18b1 motor auto. currently its naturally aspirated and as you can tell i prefer being boosted , a few questions i wanted to ask before committing myself to a fail is: application feed and return, is an oil catch can able to simulate a return feed to the motor from the turbo also is it manditory to build bottom end to accomodate the application. i ofcourse am a do it yourself type of person, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

That's actually not what a oil catch can does. It's meant to separate oil and air coming from the PCV, 'catch' the oil separating it from the air, and recirculate it back into the intake manifold. As far as your chassis, the 93 DA/DB chassis and 94+ DC/DB chassis are different. Since your motor is automatic, you might be able to run a small amount of boost before it explodes, as the typically can't support a large dose of power added. On that note, I have seen boosted auto honda trannys that run 5-7 psi. Rebuilding your bottom end would be a good idea, especially considering the B18B1 motor is an older motor and would have a lot of miles on it and may fatigue faster with boost. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I remember about boosting an auto honda.

i know what it does but some brain surgeon gave me the idea needed reassurance. as for the chassis its a 94, i have no intent to run high amounts of boost just a little extra pep. but thanks
