Icon2 Turbo swap

I am looking to buy a turbo. Its coming off a 04 civic with the same engine as mine (b16a2) and we are wanting to put it on my 01 civic.

my question is... will we need to RETUNE the kpro ecu? or can we straight up swap?

Default Re: Turbo swap

Anytime you alter an engine's air/fuel consumption in a large way, you need to re-tune the engine to perform properly. Either way, there's already a couple threads in the FAQ's about turbo setups on 01-05 Civics. Please use the FAQ's before posting.

PS. You don't have a B16, unless you swapped it in from an older car. You have a D17.
