89 std hatch b16a turbo project HMT
I am throwing my old b16a into my 89 std hatch. I pulled the b16 redid all the wiring changed the head gasket and rear main seal and oil pan gasket. Im also turboing it. Its going to have a cca intercooler, a old shitbird manifold, t3/t4e 57trim precision turbo. I welded all the charge piping and down pipes. Im also going to weld up a 3" exhaust and there are a few photos showing me welding my exhaust. I plan on finishing within the next few days or so. check out the photos at flikr

also i like the idea of the intercooler box or whatever you made around it should keep the air going through it not around it, keep us updated

Have people had bad luck with msd caps. I used to have a modified stock one for an external coil but it was worn out and needed to get a new one. I mostly got it becasue the cap has a screw down holder that holds down the wires so they dont vibrate off. Ohh, on a side note I started it up for the first time yesterday with an open down pipe it sounds really mean. It started with the first key turn so im pretty happy.
