Well considering you know what you are doing it will work! What kind of turbo manifold are you going to use?

It would be interesting to see how the vtec-e engine reacts to boost. Keep us posted. To me it sounds like a fun setup to see how much boost it'll take before you put a rod through the block. Those vtec-e motors are

Sounds interesting, I would like to know how everything goes as well. What size is the Audi turbo? Would it be about the size of a 14g DSM?

If i recall the 92-93 vx's didnt have vtec-e on the valve cover. Just look at the block code down and a little left the exhaust manifold--should say d15z? or something like that, i forget.
TO retard timing turn the distributor towards the radiator.

i dunno how the d15s crank will hold up to boost man i would stick to getting another motor for that **** i thought about using a turbo setup using a t3 or 14b on myt d15 but its not worth the trouble if it breaks even though a 13 sec d15 would be nice for a junkyard motor setup and turbo
