You will deffinatly need a manifold. The turbo doesn't bolt to the motor it bolt to the exh. manifold. I'm not familiar with the 1g's so I don't know if this turbo will work.

it will bolt up but you need a exhaust manim, downpipe, oil and waterlines....anfd the n/t engine is much weaker and has no knock sensor so it will blow up

The car won't blow up if you treat it right, you will need the manifold and you might want to go with a 2g, because it flows better and will supply a lot more horse, downpipe, oil and water lines, you'll also need to buy a new oil pan, because the stock 14b is oil cooled, with an oil return line that goes straight to the oil pan. You also will probably want to buy bigger injectors, the stock n/t injectors are only 350cc i believe, which isn't nearly powerful enough to run any substantial levels of boost. You can buy stock turbo ones, or go bigger with aftermarket ones, but you may need to invest in a fuel control computer (such as an SAFC) if you persue that. You'll need a stronger clutch, and you should put thought into buying a tranny from a 1g turbo car, if you do so, you'll need to buy the bracket and tranny mount with it, because there's a step on the turbo trannsmision where it bolts in that isn't present on its n/t counterpart. If you don't replace that, you'll end up with blown cv shafts and a really bad day. The pistons aren't as strong in the n/t engine, but they do have higher compression (8.7:1 versus 8.5:1) you'll need a boost controller and boost gauge in order to keep the boost levels low enough not to melt a hole in a piston, i ran my n/t engine at 7 psi for quite some time, and didn't have any trouble, but that's not to say that everyone will have the same luck that i did. It's a lot of work, possibly more so than you think, i know when i started i didn't expect it to entail as much as it did, but when you're done, and i mean FINALLY done, it's worth it just to say you did it, and to tell people that don't think it's possible that it is. I eventually ended up rebuilding my engine with forged pistons and so forth, but it is, never the less, very possible. Be prepared to deal with a lot of frustration and give up your weekends for a while, but when it's all over with, it's worth it
