No you cannot/ should not try to change it over.

The turbo manifold isn't going to fit and unless the turbo you have for the SOHC is a t3..because it would be pointless to use a t25 or a greddy 14b on a b-series motor.

Sell your sohc kit and buy a b-series kit.

not 100% sure but a friend of mine had a SOHC turbo kit on his GSR integra for quite a while. Just drilled the manifold out and used it....at least I am 99% sure thats what he had.

I would suggest asking the questions in the correct forum or searching for yourself. No sense in getting answers with other's personal preference or opinion, when you can easily find a more reliable answer for yourself.

Here:

And if anyone would like to play devil's advocate and argue against the original poster's decision, they can start here:
