turbo kit fitment
So i've never played with boost before and i want to start off with a cheap turbo kit. I have a 92 eg hatch with a b18b1. i want to get an ebay kit but i want to know how fitment will be? since all the kits im looking at are for integra ls, i dont know if fitment will be good in an eg. any help would be great. thanks

i bought an ebay turbo kit and had a hell of a time..nothing was fitting right.. but on the other hand my buddy has an ebay turbo kit for 4 years now and is pushing 300+hp..so its a flip of a coin..

Re: turbo kit fitment
just about any turbo kit is going to have some sort of modification needed to do it.
you are taking a chance with ebay as far as quality goes, especially with their turbos
if i were you i would source up a cheap t3 and rebuild it (costs very little)
then buy some ebay piping and intercooler
get a good blow off valve (this is important for no compressor surge)
and some dsm 450cc blue top injectors.
i have a crx HF manifold with t3 adapter plate for a turbo manifold

Re: turbo kit fitment
itl work. its basicaly saying its for that motor not that car. but the intercooler piping youl have be creative and connect it where it needs to go.
whatever you do. if your set on a cheap ebay kit. dont use the cheap ebay oil feed line. get a greddy oil feed plate and steel line(IT COSTS THE SAME) and wont break...
after a while the ebay turbo will crap on you . but it will last about a year or so
