Default turbo kit fitment

So i've never played with boost before and i want to start off with a cheap turbo kit. I have a 92 eg hatch with a b18b1. i want to get an ebay kit but i want to know how fitment will be? since all the kits im looking at are for integra ls, i dont know if fitment will be good in an eg. any help would be great. thanks

from personal experience, get ready for some modification if you get an eBay kit. They have SEVERAL issues.

just about any turbo kit is going to have some sort of modification needed to do it.

you are taking a chance with ebay as far as quality goes, especially with their turbos

if i were you i would source up a cheap t3 and rebuild it (costs very little)

then buy some ebay piping and intercooler

get a good blow off valve (this is important for no compressor surge)

and some dsm 450cc blue top injectors.

i have a crx HF manifold with t3 adapter plate for a turbo manifold

itl work. its basicaly saying its for that motor not that car. but the intercooler piping youl have be creative and connect it where it needs to go.
whatever you do. if your set on a cheap ebay kit. dont use the cheap ebay oil feed line. get a greddy oil feed plate and steel line(IT COSTS THE SAME) and wont break...
after a while the ebay turbo will crap on you . but it will last about a year or so
