I have a 93 civic hatch with a b18b swap, and was looking to do a junkyard setup until I can get the motor rebuilt to get a better tubo kit. I was wanting to know if it would work fine? What kind of boost can the turbo take if in good condition and will the crx HF manifold work for my motor? I heard that the d series headers work for b series but I'm not sure. And what size of injectors would I need? If there is anything else I should look out for let me know. Thanks

No the manifold bolts slightly differently, and depending upon the use of the turbo, you'll still have to fab up a few more things to fit.

Really, just wait until you have a bit more fundage and do it right. THE FIRST TIME..

 

I think a t25 is a little to small. I have a d16 and feel it is not quite big enough.

 

PM deluzional. 8 psi AFC hack set up. 190 WHP feels strong first 2 gears. 3rd is coo. its a great autoX powerband. however itll be a lot weaker up top.

 

i was running a drilled out hf manifold unport match with a eclipse t25 on my b18a...turbo was already crapping out when i put it on and at 15 psi it ran 8.2s @ 85 in the 1/8th mile with low compression in #2...car weights about 2300 pounds with me in it...afc with eclipse injectors etc...for a cheap set up its pretty fun...better than no turbo...which is what im running now cause the turbo crapped out on me...



here's how it looks like...2 bolts are actually missing on the manifold between 1 and 2 and 3 and 4......can't get it to fit cause no material to grind out...

^^^ Dan w 82 : Notice how he has the time, effort, and mechanical ability to perform this. If you have the mechanical inclination and wanna try to try it, fine. But otherwise I recommend saving up a bit more.

 

Don't use the HF manifold. Too much custom work going on, plus it would be wise to port it out. Just save up and get a real turbo manifold for you setup.
The T25 is too small in my opinion. If you are really thinking about using something of that size..get the T28 from the S15 SR20DET Silvia. It is ball bearing and the size is a bit bigger. It will give you more response and less turbo lag.
Otherwise get a good sized t3 or a t3/t4 of some sort. It will be better and wont run out of breath on you with your LS tranny(assuming).
