I really hope i don't get flamed for the question i'm about to ask..

I recently put a new apexi turbo + intercooler on my car. (SOHC gen5 coupe).
I like the output of the kit even on the stock boost 6psi. (i'm not "spoiled" yet)

I can get my hands on a b16a2 engine for litte money.
Would the IHI AX53B60 P18 ball bearing turbocharger work on that engine?

i know it's a small turbo but i have seen them on b18b engines and make 250+ whp.

Would that small turbo be useless on the b16 (heat probs etc).

I'm really at crossroads now...

ps: sorry for the bad typing... i'm from europe

 

it will work on the b16a engine but will lose efficiency due to the high revving nature of the b16a compared tothe sohc setup. It will give you extreem spool up and be decent street turbo.

you will have to modify the mani and thats about it as well as the piping but should be very similar

 

thank you... your the only one that took the time to reply.
