Icon2 B series in an EK coupe with AC/PS/Turbo?

Hey everyone, I'm sure this has been covered before and hate to re-ask... but as far as a b-series swap goes I know you can retain the AC and PS, but has anyone kept both and added turbo to the equation as well (or have any information on such)? I wasn't sure if the engine would make too small of an area for turbo while keeping the AC in tact.

Thanks guys!

Yes, I believe there are quite a few turbo kits that are AC friendly. My kit is from Full Race. I have a B18C1 in a 99 EX. The kit I got from Full Race allows you to keep AC and PS. I'm from AZ so AC is important.

The milder and more expensive turbo kits usually allow you to use AC/PS.

The Edelbrock kit allows you to keep it. The GReddy kit does...

I'm sure there are plenty of other ones.

+1. Plenty of kits will allow you to keep both.

Ebay even has some manifolds that are ac friendly too. You can piece your kit for cheaper too. But invest in a cast one!!
