change what manifold to fit on b18? a SOHC to fir on the B18?
That depends if the flange on the manifold will accept the same turbo. T3 flanges t25 flanges.. But in therory you should be able to change the manifold (if they have the same flange for the turbo) and everything should be set to go.

the piping might not work cuz the DOHC setup is made for a wider head so u might need to buy some extra piping if u want it to work.

oppps i forgot about the piping. maybe thats cuz i only custom make my own, and would never pay $100+ for pipes.

but in most cases the piping should work, depending on your turbo setup. if you have a fMIC then the piping to the IC should be fine (as long as the turbo still sits around the same place as the sohc. If its top mounted now and sitts higher you might need a bend or two)

As for the intake side.... only reason it might not fit that i can think of atthe time is... cuz the size of the motor. and it might co-inside with hitting the top of the block or so.

One other thing you might need since were on piping is a different size coupler for your intake manifold (depending on how big your charge piping is.... you might need a reducer)
