Finally managed to get some pictures going, after all I have been busy with school and other things.

First two pics show the 2.5 inches I have to make clearance on the downpipe.




"H" bracket, needed to relocate alternator, and slap a longer belt on.


Managed to fit in a 2 inch pipe, and use 90's. Welds go to my man Terry!










Let me know what you guys think.

great idea with the Alternator. haven't seen that done here on an Accord.
bad idea with the ext. wastegate hole. should have gotten a block off plate.
thumbs up on the block fitting

Have any pics with the complete setup?

Update for all to hear. 8/30/07


Started it up for the first time the other day, all hooked up. Coolant lines and everything. Charge pipes are on, and turbo is boosting about 1 to 2 lbs. Weird I haven't thrown a CEL light yet. We kept the boost down to see if all leaks from oil and coolant were good and I currently am having a problem with my oil pressure gauge and another small oil leak to turbo. (A little copper seal).

It does run, and sound pretty darn good. With no muffler on the back yet. I decided to run a 2.5 inch exhaust throughout, with two flex pipes.

I will definitely take pictures for the weekend.

I'm only going to be starting out with low boost, and learn to tune the "old fashioned" way. My father and I have some ideas of using the Fuel management unit to our advantage.


Btw, on the external wastegate hole. I'm not looking to add an external wastegate anyways. Just keep the original stock wastegate for the turbo.

The main problem I have right now are the two oil leaks from the gauge, and the copper seal.

Update: Sept. 4th, 2007.

Car is running, but having some boosting issues. Talk about running rich with that fuel regulator.

My Blow off valve doesn't seem to be releasing much when I give it just a little gas, and let off. I do hear the turbo surging though, like fluttering. Anyone had experience with the GT blow off valve?

I'm only looking to make 5 lbs of boost and am wondering if I should cut the spring a little?

Let me know, thanks.

Here's the bov, off of egay.
