finish turbo and put it on the b18. I bet it wouldn't be all that hard to actually swap to the B, maybe changed in exhaust manifold, and maybe a downpipe.

Pick up the B18B and then put the turbo that you have been piecing together on it!! Since you say your "Almost" done piecing it what do you need for it yet?? Or you could even finish getting it all and then sell a complete turbo kit to someone?? But if you have most of the parts but not all of them and you have the chance to pick up that motor why wouldnt you want to just turbo that motor? Just my opinion though.

vinceg99 thats a good idea...cause i was going to offer him only 1100 cause that all i got right now... ...and if i were going to use my kit i probably need to get a bigger turbo cause i have a t25 but Bseries manifolds are pricey

do a search on b18a in the archives of this forum only, you will find at least a billion responses on peoples opinions as to what swap to do. In my opinion do the research and see what you want, instead of listening to the status quo.

*click*
if you got a good reason to reopen this i will, otherwise, do a search, this is the most asked question on HT.
