i have a 96 b18b and i have a td04 turbo with the ls mani for it, i think its from a 89 mitsubishi eclipse or the gt 3000tt. but i have the crower 403 all motor cams and valves not installed , and i was going to get the b16 pistonsand the skunk 2 intake mani. what i wanna know is can i do a all motor set up and then the small td04 turbo?

Crower 403 cams have alot of overlap. I dont think they would be any good on boost. Generally all motor (high compression, high overlap cams) does not do well when u boost them. Its one or the other. Personally if I were to boost it, dont put the crower 403's in. If u want to chance it then u definately will need cam gears and "TRY", and I do mean try to tune the overlap out enough to make power.

ok well i might just go with the boost then, but do any of you know if the td04 is a good turbo? it looks kinda small to me

depends on where you want the boost to kick in at.
A smaller turbo will mean faster spool - lower rpm
A larger turbo will mean slower spool...and a kick in the ass at higher rpm.

Were it me in your shoes....
Id sell the cams and the n2o and take the money gained and get turbo parts to finish off whats needed.
I love turbos :)
