Default Engine Swap Need Help with Fitting Turbo.....

I need some help. I've got a 92 Civic Si Hatchback right now. Even with the turbo it still lacks the speed I'm craving. So I'm thinking about getting a b18c5 which I have all ready to order once I figure out a few more things. The onlyquestion I could have is with the displacement that the b18c5 has would I need to do work to the head gasket and the pistons so I don't fry my engine when I give it boost? I've been told I would but I'm not 100% sure. The current turbo I have is off a thunderbird coupe but the turbo I would most likely get for the b18c5 would be the t3/t4 hybrid..... Do you know if I'll run into any big problems???

When he is talking about size. he means Trim size. Wheel size. How much hp do u want to make.

Look around a bit and you will find all the info you need. Honda-tech has a plethora of information on anything forced induction.

yes, ^^ thats exactly what im talking about. what trim and wheel size, not what KIND of turbo. t3/t4 is a TYPE of turbo, not the size of it. do a search and look up turbo sizes and such.
