yup.... i really want a Bseries motor and the turbo it but... not enough money to do it all a once, so i might as well do SOMTHING WHIS THS CAR. I have a 90 civic si that is mint except for the miles on it and i hardly drive it.... so i might as well mess around with this POS motor and learn something... and it doesnt; really matte if i blow it up or not.
****Is there anyhing i should check first before slaping on the turbo?

If you eventually wanna go b series then turbo dont turbo yer sohc now because the turbo kit will be useless when you do get a b series. Just get a b20 or b18 for now and you'll enjoy the increase of power until you finally do turbo it.

you can swap everthing over except the manifold. you might have to bend a pipe here and there, but everthing will work
