turbo swap

im getting rid of my 99 civic but cant bear to part with all my turbo stuff, so heres my question, will a turbo kit off of a 99 si (B16a2) fit a JDM XSi engine? the B16a1 is in a 91 CRX...
thanks

I am pretty sure that it will. you are going to have to modify the I/C piping though. You may need to fab I/C mounts as well...
