NA to mild Fi; so many questions....
Ok, so here is the story as clear and detailed as I can put it:
I own a '97 Civic CX. 2 years ago, after many overtime hours, I bought and installed a JDM b16a OBD1 in it.
Today, after many more overtime hours and a substantial raise, I'm ready for a turbo... But I know ***k all about t-charging...
That being said, don't get to exited; I'm more concern about reliability than crazy hp numbers. So I thought about rebuilding the engine (just "polishing", no big bore deal) and (since I don't know ***k all about t-charging) get a Greddy bolt-on turbo (part no; 11550021A... just in case...)... That's where the questions popped-up;
1. Can I use OEM gaskets, seals, rings, t-belt, etc... to re-built a JDM b16a????
2. (Since I have send 2 e-mails to Greddy in 3 weeks w/o any answers) Can I install the aforementioned turbo kit on a JDM engine w/o destroying anything????
3. TD04H-15G 8cm² @ 5psi +/- = ???? HP
Your help is more than welcome.

Re: NA to mild Fi; so many questions....
for most of your questions check out the faq: https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/%2A%2A%2Aforced-induction-forum-faq%2A%2A%2A-1024174/
Do a compression test before you go about rebuilding the motor. The Stock b16 is fine if your not looking for too much over 300 on pump gas.
I've been running a stock block b16 for over 2 years turboed. the swap was in the car 5 years before I turboed it. Running strong at 305hp @ 10psi.
Do a little research on here. You will be alot more happy in the long run if you peice together a kit yourself with high quality parts. The greddy kit is fine but there is better out there.

Re: NA to mild Fi; so many questions....
Cool, lots of info in there. Thanks.
I haven't run a compression test yet. The main reason why I want to rebuilt is because the engine started to burn oil lately. I'm afraid the extra boost will kill it.
