I am currently turboing a 1995 Eagle Talon N/T...this is the third one ive done and they actually are identical to the way of turboing a honda...just higher rewards due to it being a 2.0...im going to put the complete walk-through on here incase anyone has any tips or info on something that can be done differently...First a rundown on the car...it is powered by a rebuilt 420a motor (which for you honda guys is a 2.0L 140hp DOHC motor= WEAK)...so far the car has 3" exhaust, ~56mm bored throttle body (up from 52mm), port and polished intake manifold, port-matched head, accel 19lbs fuel injectors (will explain y only 19 for whoever doesnt already know), 6 puck sprung clutch, 1993 turbo eclipse fuel pump, MSD coilpack(soon to be replaced by individual coils), and a whole lot of anti-theft kills...the best times for the car to date is a 15.9 at 103 mph...this time is a result of a shitty launch because of a garbage track and LONNNGGGG gearing...my tranny has already had the gearing changed to be the same as the 1995 GST gear ratios (finished the quarter in 3rd gear at 6700rpm)...going to put the car on 10psi of boost to start out with like my last car (1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS)...now before all the honda guys go crazy and say y is this guy here and everything im going to let it be known i have had 4 civics and a integra...my civics were '91 hatch(turboed ZC), '92 hatch (turbo B16),'95 coupe EX (all-motor B16), '96 coupe(nitroused GSR),and '97 hatch (turbo GSR)...my integra was a '93 B18a block/B16a head, CTR cams, and ~9psi of boost...for the last 2 years or so i moved to mitsus for a new challenge...they basically are the same setup with the Map sensor, oil pressure switch and everything else...the one thing i like the stock manifold can be made into a turbo manifold for about $50..and these motors LOVE boost...with very little overlap on the cams and a pretty low compression it shouldnt be hard getting into the 12s with this...my last car ran a 13.4 on 9psi of boost and this was on a garbage tranny and trash suspension...would've gone farthur with that car but due to a gf that likes racing and wet roads that DSM is no longer with us...but anyone that has any advise as this goes along it will be greatly appreciated

 

too much reading...cole's notes

 

15.9 at 103 mph

that doesnt seem right

o well, good luck w/ your project!

 

yeah eclipses pull some funky times..ive seen eclipses run like 15.7 at 94-96mph too but thats with stock tranny

 

soory looked at wrong timeslip i meant 93mph

 

 

has anyone used check valves instead of a missing link?

 

i do... work fine. use 4 of them and put them in line like this


<~~~~~ to intake manifold // to map ~~~~~>


(intake mani)------||--||--||---------------||--(map)
|| || || ||
|| || || ||
/ \ / \/ \ / \
| | | || | | |
\/ \/ \/ \/
the first 3 are like main bleeds then the last one is the jus incase valve.. gets the rest that tries to go to the map

 

o ok..i think ill try that this time...by the way im looking for a good low boost(9-12psi) turbo for this project so if anyone has one they wanna get rid of let me know..or ill just go with my t3/t4

 

owned... sure you looked at it wrong
