I am planning on swapping a d16a1 into my 85 CRX Dx (yes I am aware I will be doing the Carb-FI swap) and I might make a home made turbo kit. I am aware that 88-00 Civic's have the same exhaust pattern (at least I believe so)..
my question is the 86-89 Integra (mainly the 86-87) do they have the same exhaust pattern as the other d-series? If not what would/could be the easiest route for a junkyard turbo? What manifold would i use? I was hoping to through on a HF (CRX/CIVIC) or just get a cheap manifold from ebay.
Help please.
Does it make sense?

well the brown and black top along with the 1g (and 2g) ZC's are all d-series but they are DOHC. They came in 86-89 Integras. They are pretty much a direct swap into the 84-87 CRX/Civics.
So thats where I am unsure and need to know any help on the manifolds?

Any d series header will work on the ZC or d16a1. I had a 92 civic ex header on my old ZC so it does work.
However the exhaust ports are slightly shifted but that can be taken care of with a dremel or air grinder. Just take the exhaust manifold gasket and trace the ports onto the manifold and grind away.
