Ok I have a 96 hatch dx and have at 14b a D series manifold and a dsm sidemount with B.O.V. Used to have a coupe with Greddy kit turbo on it but it got stolen and still want boost but now money is kinda short. What exactly else would I need to make it possible and would it be worth it?

You will need to fabricate a downpipe, intercooler piping, new oil lines, new water lines, vacuum hoses, couplers/hose clamps,HF to 14b adapter plate, larger injectors/something to control them with (cheap-fmu/safc, expensive-s300)..

the 14b is water cooled as well correct? where do i connect the water lines to?

sorry to threadjack... you probably have the same question for your build though

Dont bother with the water its just more lines/places to get a leak.Order a oil line kit from Stealthmode[tunertoys.com carries them] they sell one for the 14B then get a downpipe flange or you might be able to run a stock O2 housing for a DSM depending on clearance etc and if so you will need a flange to match that housing as well as a flex and a flange to bolt up to your exh.From there grab a bunch of mandrel bends and start cutting/mocking them up to fit and if you dont have a welder just get them ready and run down to a exh shop/welding shop and have them welded.You can get adapters for the mani from BMC i think he is still making them

concerning fuel/eng management i would just get a good base map made then go from there, most base maps will beat a fmu or safc anyday hands down yeah know. Theres alot of good companies out there these days offering those services.

ya i had never heard of anybody using the waterlines on a 14b but trashcanrepairman said to get waterlines and i was confused as hell...

Here's one way to go about the waterlines

Again you don't really have to.Plenty of people dont on dsm turbo's and they run/last fine.

Wait 14b's are set at a stock pressure of 11psi, how can I bring it down to a safe level? Isn't it interally gated?

The 14b is a water cooled turbo. It's really easy to connect them. True, you don't HAVE to use them, but by that mentality you don't need them on a GT series turbo either...

true but i already have a d15b swap in my car and have that t'd coolant line setup on the head... (post pics tomorrow if you don't know what i'm talking about)

You can make it externally gated , doing so for a customer right now at the shop.

But he has a HF mani, and the way to make that externally gated is with a pretty big flycutter on a mill or a weldor that has lots of experience welding on cast iron.

What you could do is try looking for a different WG actuator. Many people buy a used turbo with a lower psi WG actuator, then use an external gate.

There is away around welding on the cast to make it externally gated.

Bob(RCautoworks) also sells the oil lines, cant boost controll help you with the 11psi? To what I know its a pretty small turbo wouldnt be some like 7-8psi on a bigger turbo like a T3

You should do some reading on HMT on the projects,stickies etc as there is lots of info on using these turbos.They work good for low buck kits on a D16 You can thread the actuator arm to make it adjustable but i would run at least 11psi anyways
