Flatback civic non Si (EW engine) diff is compatible with the T2 diff, although they aren't the same part, I think you have to use the appropriate crown wheel. This car is like the T2's sister. The engines are very similar, it is the only other injected CVCC motor. A city turbo engine will start and run on an EW ECU!
In fact the internals are interchangable as fas as I know, different gear ratios tho.
He got them from Japan, if Alex wants to give more details Ill leave that to him

Yeah i brought everything from japan the diff i got for 3k yen im very certian its the mugen they said it was from a 3g civic with the EW motor.
the Hks gauges are about 3k yen each
and the wastegate was 5k
thats all plus comission and shipping in japan then japan to NZ so reasonbly pricy probably 2-400NZD definately cheap for the sort of stuff though.

been a long time time comming but the engine swap is on, its a T2 engine thats been put in along with my original T1 gearbox clutch and flywheel.
Going to put a T2 turbo on for now and make a better dump pipe until i can get the new manifold for the T25 sorted out, i have had a bit of a play with the T25 in the bay just to try get an idea of where to put it.
The new, in the bay
The old (in need of rebuild not sure what to do with it)
Just an idea of where i want the turbo to sit, the housings do need rotating to suit, looks like there is enough space but its going to be an interesting looking manifold.

im not sure how good a bigger turbo such as that would be in the city eh?
feel free to ignore, but this is what ive found...
Having driven my city round a bit now with it rebuilt motor and heavily modded turbo i would be careful in swapping the city item completely out for something larger..
Although in saying that a new manifold (as you would have to build) if done well would make a hell of a difference compared to the factory "log style" manifold.
with a bored out (to the max) city exhaust housing then isuzu mu turbo core and late model GTX compressor housing and GTX (1600) compressor wheel the car drives like a large turbo'd bigger car if you know what i mean?
- turbo chargers NZ made it.
Boost is a bit slow and basicly nothing in 1st gear (which is good) once over 3000rpm it picks up and very rapidly, unlike factory it revs out nicely into redline with lots of power!
I was going to autox it last weekend but have been to busy unfortunatly, maybe next time
Ive got a FCD to put in to it aswell, i only have a cheap boost controller and it finds it difficult to keep boost under control once above 10psi so hits limit if pushed hard which is annoying.
So i havent been able to give it lots of boost, but like most cars it gets very excitied with more
anyway, feel free to ingore me
Cheers

will see how it goes its its a T25 with a AR of 48 on the hotside i also have another with 47 hotside so can possibly run that if its too laggy,
Im keen to see how it goes with a close to equal length manifold with a proper collector and a higher CR ratio on a rebuilt motor (was thinking around 8.5)
Decent fuel management and tune also required.

yeh a good manifold would make a difference i think!
Cheers
Have you got an adjustable cam wheel to offset the negative cam timing you get from shaving the head? It can make quite a lot of difference. You can also do it with an offset key.
