After :) (A fatty FMIC would fit in there great.. currently trying to convince him into buying a CCA intercooler)

http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/1866/pict00152ln.jpg

Manifold kinda-sorta on :P

Chris called me a bit ago and said he got everything done so the manifold sits flush to the head like its supposed to... tomorrow we'll probably throw the turbo on and wait for parts to arrive :6 :y

Turbo/Manifold/"downpipe" on



And in this next picture you can see the major flaw in the manifold's design...

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/295/pict00076av.jpg

Explain to me how to get a bolt onto there ::)

Also, instead of a Stealthmode oil line kit Chris went to Home Depot and built his own kit for ~$15, also is doing all the coolant lines himself... next we should be buying the BOV (He's looking at GReddy knock offs), a fatty FMIC and some piping :8

On March 12th-13th Chris and I were trying to figure out how the heck we were going to do the piping from the J-pipe to the existing intercooler piping..
http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/7614/pict00141ml.jpg
The J-pipe was big and pointing in the opposite direction of what we needed :l



Well, I brainstormed, and after a short run to Home Depot we got what we needed:

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/1849/pict00062bw.jpg

Chris chopped down the J-pipe to nothing, I put a HD bend on it, then used another part of the j-pipe to bend some more, used part of the turbo rubber piping from the Probe Turbo to connect that to even another piece of the j-pipe, then used a transition coupler from that small pipe to the 2.5" pipe, then that 2.5" pipe connects to the rest :8 :y Finally got done right around 3 A.M. after all the parts running ;D

well choose heads or tails with that setup .. hope it works out good ... i like those new manis ..not sure to trust the turbos yet

Re: 1993 Honda Accord LX Turbo Project Under Way (56k grab a rope)
 

Nice. :y Let us know how the SSAC holds up for him and keep us posted on the build. ;) ;D

Re: 1993 Honda Accord LX Turbo Project Under Way (56k grab a rope)
 

ya, those manis looks cool as hel. i hope it holds. measure the thickness of the steel etc and some inside runner pics, ive been wanting to see som e up close pics :y

Re: 1993 Honda Accord LX Turbo Project Under Way (56k grab a rope)
 

<_< Hope the glue holds for ya.

Re: 1993 Honda Accord LX Turbo Project Under Way (56k grab a rope)
 

Both seem pretty good, manifold was MUCH heavier/well made than I expected, although theres two spots or so on the manifold that I'm not digging.

No problem bro, should be running by spring time (hopefully). Maybe he can race ya and see how well the turbo F goes against turbo D ;)

I'll try to see if I can do that tomorrow after the big game :y He dremeled the hell out of the inside trying to make it smooth, I can see some effort there...

lol :P turbo seems fine, we'll see how she goes.

Re: 1993 Honda Accord LX Turbo Project Under Way (56k grab a rope)
 

holy ----. dans boosting a honda! :P

lookin good!

Re: 1993 Honda Accord LX Turbo Project Under Way (56k grab a rope)
 

Your probually going to have to notch the block since your running a dsm mani and turbo, I hope you get a p06 cause you can't run uberdata on the stock ecu, also the kid looks fat you should make him walk to the hardware store to get alll the extra parts he needs it.

Re: 1993 Honda Accord LX Turbo Project Under Way (56k grab a rope)
 

Yeah, he was notching the block when I talked to him earlier. I already got a hookup for a p06, $40 shipped :6 and gonna have Xenocron chip if it he still does it. And Bill's a big kid, he could eat you for breakfast and still be hungry.

edit:

For the record, this is the owner of the car (Chris) and my asian lookin butt on the right

And don't worry, I only owned that gas guzzler for about a month, that was back about 14 months ago or so.

Re: 1993 Honda Accord LX Turbo Project Under Way (56k grab a rope)
 

your cousin or buddy whoever he is molested that car, its ugly no offense but I think first thing is ditch those tail lights and sick ass windsheild banner, put he hubcaps back on as well, I don't want to sound like a dick but come on dan I know you have much better taste than that
