I know this is a forced induction question but I figured you guys might know off hand.
I've got a 96 Jdm B18C-R Im getting a turbo kit...the only kit I could find for a type r was the the 97-2001 kit, usdm obviously. will that turbo mani fit my bolt pattern?

also the engine is in my 5th gen civic. do you think I will have any problem with clearances for the intercooler plumbing ect. (or should I ask the hybrid guys?)

thanks in advance guys.

 

Any manifold for a B18C will fit your "bolt pattern".

Now, the clearance issues in a civic (or even a teg) with a turbo are always of concern.

 

I ask only because the headers on my B18 are for a 97 B18 and the flange was altered to fit properly.

 

The "flange" where it bolts up to the head?

Or the "flange" where it bolts up to the rest of the exhaust/CAT?

 

the flange that bolts to the head. the down pipe-to-cat flange is altered for obvious reasons.

You may have had problems going between a B18B and a B18C., because there shouldn't have been any difficulties between B18C (ITR or non- ITR) motors.
