different turbo manifold and bigger turbo that fits it of course, and everything else is good to go, piping, intercooler...etc??

You will need to change out the manifold, turbo, and down pipe for it to work... I think your best bet would be to sell that kit and use the money to buy a kit for a B series...

truthfully i dont think anything is gonna really work. you are gonna have to change the mani and downpipe for sure. turbos are pretty much universal so you could use it if you want. as long as the mani is flanged for it. after making all those changes the ic piping and oil lines probably wont be spot on either so they might need some modification.

IMO not really worth it. plus like someone said, that turbo is probably a bit small for an ls/vtec anyways.

When i switched over from D series to B series, i used the same greddy turbo kit that i was using on the D series motor, but i did have to change the manifold, turbo, and down pipe...

the manifold wont bolt up obviously, the turbo was way too small for what i wanted, and the down pipe wouldnt clear the oil pan... everthing else in the kit worked just fine...
