I have kicked around the idea of building turbo
kits, but I didn't think the price would sit too well
with the Track/Kick crowd, we tend  to not spend
big $$ like Honda and Jeep guys do, Ford and Chev
for that matter.

So I was going to offer the headers and intercoolers
and related parts, but ya, I could set up a total kit.

I'm not comfortable trying to setup kits for an 8V engine,
there is just too much fabrication as well as extra fuel
that is needed, along with an extra EFI computer, but
16V is a different story, all the right equipment is there,
and adding a turbo intercooler and some oversized injectors
is not such a big deal.

An 8 Valve would be better be to Turbo, Dues towards it has lower compression, and will be able to hold more boost, on a stock block, but the 16 valve will have better,IM, TB,MPFI, and fuel rail,FPR,Injectors and ecu,

Anyone with some welding skills, and knows how to operate tools, and air tools, can turbo anything, Carb'd motors are a lil more harder, but can be done,

If you were to turbo a 16 valve, or a 2.0 i would recommend replacing the timming belt,water pump,oil pick up, and Headgasket,and a spare oil pan wouldnt hurt incase you screw up the stock one will tapping it..Most zuki parts should be interchage-able

Back Before i got into Zuki's,When i was Younger I had a 96 civic HB, with a B20B (Dohc) 2.0 With a homemade turbo kit, that was put together and installed for under 1K, which included 2 hours of free tuning on a buddy's mustang dyno. I ran Just under 1 Bar, 14.3lbs on the street, But 93 octane was a must, And home depot for the MBC,

Go Ahead and Check out my buddy's site for Techincal resources are idea's

Best of luck

I have a tilt steering column from an lsi, but I still havent installed it. I keep thinking and saying I am going to install it, but it may never get installed ::). I put the priority of buying the hitch reciever toilet seat ;D before installing it(it is a lot of work :P)
Runnin' it stock with 225/75R15s and an unmodified 8valve TBI motor (I need a doug thoroley header and a cam) (more power) (1.6 liters of madness) (vroom + sewing machine sounds)
