What should I upgrade before I add a turbo
I was wondering what I should upgrade before I put a turbo on my 1992 honda civic VX with a JDM b18c in it?
Do I need a new crank, rods or pistons?
Will my car still beable to keep it's AC?
Will the engine still be reliable?
I have a fluidyne radiator, and I'd imagine my dc 4-1 header gets taken off, my cold air intake goes bye bye.

pistons and rods, realibilty relies on how u drive ur car, a/c is retainable

it really depends on what your goals are. but if you want to only run like 6-8 psi, then i wouldnt even get rods pistons. many on this board run 8 psi safely. i would just bolt on the turbo, and run that until something blows, then you can do a rebuild.
you will need a lot of miscellaneious things though, not just the kit.
examples: bigger injectors, hondata/aem, guages, ect....
