Default Turbo on my prelude BA4 ?

First of all, nice forum and website, didn't seen it before.

My question is the following:
I have a daily drivin honda Prelude BA4 4ws B20A5.
Next spring i want to start with a turbo project, i know some stuff about it and i know a little what to need, but i found out a manifold is hard to find ,let alone engine management.
Do you guys have any idea where to find the needed parts for my car?
Thanks in advance.

How much power do you want to make??


Engine management is semi-universal. Turboedit may work for you but you could always go with an AFC and DSM 450's. Get a T3 turbo or if you want to spend the money get a T3/T4

Read this thread a couple of times and it'll help you understand some of the options for fuel management:

you need dsm 450s' walbro 255 intank fuel pump, vafc, and a 60 trim t3. you'll get about 245-260hp and 210-225tq at 10-11psi. you don't need a missing link with a vafc.

he says his motor puts out 155hp. and a b16 which is what i have puts out 160. conservatively tunned (slightly rich for safety) at 10-11psi my motor is making 246hp and 212tq
it's not with a .48/.60 t3 but with a .60/63 nissan 300zx t3. that day at the dyno while tunning it made 270hp but that was towards the lean side of the afr. this is w/vafc. 450s',fpr,walbro 255 intank pump.
