Smile 98 hatch turbo.. my first honda

hey guys... i'm a nissan guy (350z) but i saw this civic for sale and just had to get it..... i just bought a 98 black honda civic hatch back custom turbo..

the thing is a sleeper its got stock muffler/body parts/even steelies with stock hub caps....and the intercooler is almost invisible

the dude who built it is the guy who sold it.. its got a GM truck turbo t3/t4 flange and its a pretty good size and it just dumps out to a straight pipe cut off...

the motor is a DOHC b18 ? it is from a 96 LS so i don't know what b18 model it is does anybody know? but it has aftermarted pistons and rods... crank is stock but that shoudln't be a problem right???

the head is a non vtec head.. is it possible the change it to a vtec head?? would it do anything good ???

its good big injectors and fuel pump.. and some kind of weird computer system that i have no idea about because it doesn't use o2 sensors or anything??? i really don't know i should ask him about it again ??

its got nos dry shot but its not hooked up which i ll probably leave that way hahah

its got a couple other goodies too... boost controler , ect...

8psi makes 240? hp and hes got a high setting of 14 psi making 300hp to the wheels....

i drove it and it spins 3rd gear on 14psi LOL ..im going to need suspension and tires for it...

if anybody could give some answers on the gsr/vtec head that would be awesome... thanks guys hope to be sticking arond

They won't fit. Those are for sedans. Your car is a hatch.

i see... i wanna keep the sleeper look.. the only thing that sux is the straight/dump pipe... i wanna get a cut out with a switch so i can switch between straight pipe and a regular muffler... the turbo is a truck turbo too so it spools even when your daily driving you can hear it through the exhuast at low rpms lol

Ya i like the sleeper look also. I don't have up to date pics up but you should think about a lip kit they look nice on the car. Post pics when you can.
