The 80 "B" motor uses a very basic manually adjustable boost control, no anti knock. The turbo CR was a lot less, like 7.6 to 1. If you installed the APC system you'd probably be OK. Also the vacume advance on the distributor is also a retard in boost, Not sure how a normal distributor would react, or how the distributor in the APC car is set up. It is possible to convert the "B" motor to LH from CIS. The main thing is modification of the fuel injection rail. The exhaust manifolds are the same (B & H) but the intake side of the head is different. Could turn out to be a fun project, but plan on more than a weekend, as most important, the turbo requires sodium filled exhaust valves, (no longer available new that I can find). The head is easy to pull if you don't have A/C, the compressor makes it a real bugger if equipped.
