Default boosted b18b (noob question)

Hey, if you have a 96-00 civic sedan, with a b18b, will a bolt on turbo kit fit right in or will you have to modify the tubing?

How much whp are you trying to hit?

If its under 350whp I would just send the head out for a valve job, valves, springs, and retainers. A P&P is not necessary.

you have the d16y7 SOHC non vtec, theres no power without boost, your better off swapping to a DOHC or buying a different car, unless u read up alot on boost

Man... you jump around a lot. First its the B18b1, then its the D16y7, and now on to the B16?

First, choose which motor you are able to afford and would like to boost... then start another thread if you need.
