Hello, i'm new here and i need help on my Accord Turbo. I just finished installed a T3 Greddy Turbo kit in my 01 Accord 2.3L. Let me break down the components for easy understanding. Got a T3 Greddy, 38wastegate external, Intercooler, pipings, Greddy Type S BOV, 450cc Fuel Injectors, FMU 12:1. Anyways, i've connected the Wastegate Vacuum line together with the BOV vacuum line by using a "T" fitting, then the last end on the fitting i connected it to the Top of my Engine where the vacuum source is. There's also a nipple on the Turbo but i covered it with a Bolt. So, I test drive my car by going 10mph first, then up and up and so on and everything seems okay. Then i decided to step hard on the Gas peddle to see how fast the turbo will spool and how much power it actually delivers to my car, but when the odometer goes up to around 55mph, there's like a noise in the engine and it lost power. I say that because the car will not go fast like a normal car would do with you step on the gas that much. I asked folks around and they said i might have the Vacuum source wrong, some told me to connect the Vacuum source to the Turbo Nipple. Well, i did that but still have the same problem. About the BOV, it doesn't MAKE any "pshhhh" sound like other people's cars do. I don't knwo what i did wrong, please help. Or is something wrong with the Turbo I bought it used, but he still looked and i though perform good when i spin the blades to see any noise or any dent but it looked good. Thanks for helping!!

hold on, youre using 450cc injectors on an FMU at 10psi boost?

Dr.Boost

lol, I sure hope not. It would have a very bad idle with 450cc injectors and nothing to control them.

Yes, i'm using 450cc injectors with 12:1 FMU. Well, i'm new to turbo and i thought that idea would be good because i'm afraid my stock fuel injectors will not have enough fuel inject into the engine to feed the Amount of Air the Turbo put out, that's why i upgraded with 450cc. Why would it be hard to handle? I did researches before i install the Kit on my car and most of the Turbo Honda they all use 450cc or higher. About the answer to the question "hold on, you're using 450cc and running 10lbs of BOOST" that i do not know how much Boost i'm running cause i haven't install the Boost Gauge yet. I have the Boost Gauge, Air/Fuel Gauge, and Oil Pressure Gauge but still learning on HOW TO INSTALL it to read the correct unit. Please help

i wouldnt run a car like this at all without a boost gauge. You need some kind of REAL managemant, like a MSD BTM and an Apexi SAFC or somthing. Running no managemant like this and driving the car with just the 450cc injectors and fmu simply will not work and will most likely result in you blowing the motor. I wouldnt even drive it until you get somthing to control your fuel and timing and do some tuning.

Dr.Boost

Put the stock injectors back in and use the FMU. You're dumping way too much fuel right now.

i wouldnt even reccomend that, besides he doesnt even know how much boost hes running. Nomatter what the setup, you need REAL managemant

Dr.Boost

Well at this rate he's bound to blow it up anyways. :P What makes you think he's going to be able to tune it after he gets that? :1

u have ***** to install that setup with no boost gauge. fmu and 450's. And an incorrectly installed wastegate line. So i think u said u moved the wg line into the turbo nipple. That's right, what did u do with the bov ? just run it to the fpr vac line or w/e u want. (end of you're fuel rail ---> throttle body :1).. throw the stock injectors back in and for god sakes buy a $10 boost gauge of ebay or something. if u have any questions try searching. There's already numerous thread's on installation questions.
