Eclipse turbo install on lude/accord how to
Well it's finally done now and I know a few people wanted to know how to use the straight setup from the eclipse so here it goes. 1st off the rumor that only 2 holes on the manifold have to be redrilled is wrong!! All of them but one (the one in the center on the bottom) have to be redrilled. The dsm injector install is exactly like jeff's install in the FAQ. Just use a dremel to grind out the the grommets. I used the td04 turbo and had to remove my front motor mount (thanks Jeff) for the turbo to get in. Then you have to grind off the motor mounts bolt thread (on the block) to let the turbo sit. Yes you have to do it. An angle grinder makes really short work of it. Its the one that the top right bolt for the motor mount went into (there are 3, 2 towards the top and 1 under those 2) From then on its just charge pipes and oil feeds. The fitting for the intake on the turbo was like 2in and it was the same for the part the charge pipes connect too. Well hope this helps some people out, I know wish I knew all this before I started. I'll try to take some pics soon. Damn that was too long for a forum. Oh well, somebody should find that ---- useful

Did you have to remove your AC btw? or did it clear it afterall? You said that you used a 1g Eclipse manifold with a 2g TD04 turbo, is that turbo the same size as the 1g TD0H5 turbo or bigger/smaller? Does your engine have alot of movement now with the front mount gone now? How does it drive with the DSM injectors? Oh and post your SAFC settings as well, I'm sure alot of F22A turbo'ers are gonna be curious..
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but you got me excited about turboing my F22A again! GREAT JOB!

I am about to make a in depth how to for jeff tommarow. Including everything from pics of the oil tap to everything. I'm also going to try to put the sizes of the ratchets needed. It will be in depth believe me. Oh yeah the ac is still in there. Once the block was grinded if fit perfect. I'll have everything you could want to know in a day or 2.

Re:Eclipse turbo install on lude/accord how to
Cool, sounds good. But how does the F22 run with the DSM 450s? Espeically at part throttle cruising at 2k to 3k rpm.. I can't even tune it to run without a CEL at that range while N/A, so I'm really dreading the tuning of it with the turbo on.
