Help me with a turbo swap!
I made a search, maybe I typed in the wrong "key terms" but I didn't really find anything to help me answer my question.
I'm looking to buy a b18 Turbo that is comming out of a 91 CRX. I have a 1996 Civic Hatch. I basically have two questions. Would this motor run in my car, meaning that my car is OBD2 and the Motor is OBD1(I think it could be OBD0) I know I'll have to change the Tranny because of the cable vs Hydo cluch. What about the intercooler piping? I looked at the two engine bays and there isn't too much of a differnece, what else should I look for when gaugeing if the existing piping will fit or not?
The motor is built fully on the underside meaning that it has forged pistons and bigger rods. nothing has been done to the crank though. the head hasn't been touched either. the motor is capable of holding about 10-15 pounds of boost althougt the previous owner hasn't run the car at the track its pretty fast...on the high way.
anyway what I really need to know is wil this swap be worth my while? with the computer change over and tranny swap.
thanks in advance.
