5th gen b16A

i was planning on putting a 92-95 b16a motor in my civic and i was wondering if i was to buy parts for this motor (pistons, turbo, pulleys, etc...) do i have to buy the parts that are made for the 6th gen b16a or do i have to get these things custom made. i'm guessing that the motors are identical and whatever fits in the 6th gen will fit in the 5th gen

Its a hydrolic clutch.
and yes you can use pistons etc from any other B16a engine. So you can put USDM pistons in a JDM engine. The only thing to watch out for is the USDM B16a's run a slitghtly lower compresion ratio to the JDM ones.
But things like pullys, plugs, leads, cap etc are all the same.

re: the question - turbo exhaust manifolds and forged turbo pistons are the same across all B16As. Likewise forged conrods etc.
