Default Turboing a ZC?

I'm not really framiliar with Honda's so when a buddy of mine asked if we could turbo his ZC I was all for it. I was just wondering if any one on here has been through this or has and ideas suggestions. He had plnned on using a 14b turbo from a first gen eclipse/talon. At this point I am stumped on the exhaust manifold.

He can use a HF manifold and he can find an adapter plate online. check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com if you already havent.

I've got a DOHC ZC in my 91 rex, planning on using a 14b and starion/conquest intercooler as well. How much did that adapter plate cost u.. are you running on stock internals? How do you like the boost?

Your buddy is planning on running the same set-up that I had just purchased
14b turbo
Hf manifold and adapter plate
I was running a t3/t04e hybrid but I blew the shaft apart

Good luck with your project and remeber to check the fluids daily

the plate was 80, and i usually run 6 PSI for daily driving now, i am only using a vortech 12:1, no injectors, the gain is very very noticeable, ask the black s2000 who got cocky yesterday, hahaha

Y49CRXSIZC, how much did your whole set up cost (if you dont mind me asking) and do you have any dynos or 1/4 mile times, im thinkning bout a similar setup with the 14b or maybe the T-25, which ever is easier to get...
