Look under your hood at the white emmissions sticker and see what it has on it...

sweet so im gessin that i have a 3gen accord? the h22 motor might fit but the b18 will fit beter than the h22? what does a turbo wastegate do and is it neccesary to have?

Yes you have a 3rd gen. the H22 is the best stock for stock motor.

A waste gate lets excess exhaust gas pass by the turbo instead of making the turbo take it all, and yes you need one.

I believe you have the A20a1 motor

I dont know for sure that the exhaust manifolds are different, but they more than likely are, and since your car is carburated it would def not be a direct bolt on, and the charge piping would prob not be right. so all in all the turbo and intercooler would prob be the only things you could use
