order the turbo you want a manifold for B motor and intercooler pipes for your model car

TURBO on DA chassis(90-93 teg) is NOT easy! the front crossmember SUCKS! it leaves you NO room. If you use a small turbo(14b, t25) you might be able to fit it with the stock crossmember. but if your planning on running a t3/t4 with a equal length manifold it will NOT fit easily. the only company that makes kits for gen2 tegs is revhard...i think... I just puchased a z10 crossmember and traction bar setup for my TEG to make life easier. It makes sooooo much more room under there. I have fit a 16g(eclipse upgrade) with a SFP manifold on friends completely stock gen2 teg(b18a) without A/C but with the stock crossmember. it ran 14.6 on 6psi and 15.5 on 4 psi(using the SAFC hack)... 10 psi shoulda ran mid 13's untuned... even with a NON-driver behind the wheel...

where can i buy these z10 crossmember bars at? anyways so buying a kit for the b18 would still work with the jdm b16 in the car? if so then that makes things a hell of a lot easier. anyone else care to help out on what i should do

they're a bit pricey at $450+options... www.z10eng.com. buying a turbo kit is easier to install but a bit more $$$$ than piecing it together.
