Accord with 14B???
hey whats up everyone! i have a 91 accord specs:
F22a1 engine automatic
2.2L, 8.8:1 compres, 125hp, 130lb-ft torque, 140k miles, 6200rpm redline, might need new piston rings, still need to do compression check.
turbo parts consist of:
2nd Gen DSM manifold
14B turbo
1st Gen DSM BOV
SMC fuel management
450cc DSM injectors
1st Gen SMIC
Piping
Tranny Cooler
i want to go turbo but i still have some questions. i've been lurking everywhere to find info but still have some questions on some.
i've been researching the DSM turbo on fitting on to my engine with mods to the manifold, like redrilling some holes so it will align with my engine. i know i have two options on turbos, the T-25 or 14B. they both have internal wastegates set at 8psi. the T-25 i know will have very good spool up while the 14B will not because the wastegate starts to open up at 2-3psi from what i have read.
i will be going with the 14B because my experience with a d16 vtec with that turbo shows that the top end will die out. for my accord i am trying to accomplish quick spool for good low end and some high end. with the 14B will i be able to accomplish this
i will have to lower the wastegate boost to 6-7psi to be safe. or do u think the stock 8psi of the 14B is safe. i can't risk boost spiking, which will force me to lower the boost to 6-7psi.
i know of 2 ways to lower boost for the 14B. i have read the threads and its either with the carb spring or lengthing the actuator. using the carb spring, i dont feel is reliable. after absorbing heat wont the spring's metal expand, therefore the spring will expand more giving less boost which would be inconsistent. using the carb spring can i still use a manual boost controller
with lengthing the actuator, for the 14B the wastegate opens early at around 2-3psi so the wastegate will open even sooner, therefore producing turbo lag. on my f22a1 will i notice this lag even tho my engine is slightly larger
other than those two ways is there another internal wastegate or actuator i can simply swap to give me my ideal boost thanks!!!!

.....find a lower psi wastegate actuator off another car
