Are turbos pretty interchangable? My friend has a 92 Eagle Talon, if he sold me his turbo and intercooler would that be usable in a 89 Civic Hatch?

 

Yea you can use it but you need to make sure the manifold you get is made for a DSM turbo...

 

I beleive that's a 14B turbo? Correct? If so, they make adapter plates for them. Look into HF manifold adapter plates, there is a wide range out there.

 

yea i believe the 1st gens had 14b's, they are small turbos and you can usually find them for less than $100shipped in good condition and the side mount intercoolers go for about $30-$50 shipped i think...and the hf plus adapter plate is great for a cheap turbo set up

 

make sure it is a 14b and not a 13g. if it is a 13g it isn't worth the time.

 

13g = 3000gt/GTO/Stealth.....the 14b out of a talon/eclipse isnt bad...kinda small but good for a budget build

 

I would get the stuff for practically free. I am buying a D16z6 for really cheap and I am hoping to rebuild it some, put an Si tranny on it, and then put it in my DX swapping auto to manual in the process. It will be a lot of work but we will see how it goes. And then I was thinking of trying to build a turbo kit.

Thanks.

 

cheap way, get an HF manifold.

the HF model crx has the cat converter where the header would be on a normal setup.

you can get a flange made (or buy one) to bolt up that 14b to the hf manifold.

the piping aside from what i just mentioned is obviosuly DIY.

check out homemadeturbo.com for more ideas about doing what your thinking. they have a forum too.

 

i believe the 14b is only on the stick 1gens.

yes sures..use a hf or 88-89 std manifold with adapter plate made for the dsm 14b flange

 

try to get the injectors off of the talon to

automatic 1g dsms came with 390cc injectors (same as stock stealth/3000gt) and the 13g turbo. the GTO came with 15g turbos and *i believe* blue top injectors, not positive on that though. manual 1gs came with 14b and blue top 450cc injectors and all the 2g cars (auto or manual) came with a garrett/mhi hybrid t25 (smaller than a 14b and bigger than a 13g) and black top 450cc injectors.
