I dont know if anyone makes a turbo kit for the lx motor, not that I know of. Best bet if you cant find a kit is go to piece together a custom kit. You will probably end up saving a little cash too. Best bet would be to check out something like www.howstuffworks.com and see how it works, do a lot of research then slap a turbo on the car and hope nothing blows up! Good luck.

LX headers..not much choice the best performing ones ( minimal gains of course almost non) will be the kamikaze race header. Intake AEM short ram. My best advice I can give you is you can also convert your exhaust system to EX specs by swapping in an EX header, sway bar, bushings, cat, and exhaust system. this give you more options on parts becuase the lx/dx are very limited in those categories. Then you can think about turbos for an Ex even swapping the head.

you could also do a mini me swap which means you could put the ex head on the lx block since it is still in the same family. But in order to get the vtec to work you will have to have an ex ecu, ignition, modified wiring harnes and drill and tap the holes for the oil to activate the vtec.
