Turbo Accord Project......help please!!
 

hi, i have a 94 lx 2dr accord, which im planning on boosting soon. i already have a dsm manifold and a TDO5H turbo, as well as a nice custom FMIC. i do have some questions as i am pretty new to this stuff, i was just wondering, is the turbo water cooled? if so, i will not need a turbo timer ..correct? also, i just got some 450cc DSM injectors, does anyone know how hard these are to install? and one last thing, engine management, do i need to get my ecu chipped or do i need some type of air flow controller? any help would be appreciated, i know everyone on here is smarter than i am....thanks a bunch

Did you just randomly find this website and post this topic? Have you checked out the huge following of DSM turbo powered accord people?

Go ahead and read that huge ass thread and it should answer a lot of your questions for you.. thread is called the acclipse thread

i hate to burst your bubble here, but im pretty sure the DSM manifold will not work on the F22b...completely different port patterns. you may need to look into getting a new manifold

Re:Turbo Accord Project......help please!!
 

hey r33, didnt you use the dsm manifold on your f22? dont we have the same engine? unless yours is a f22b1, which i dont think had any different port patterns as my f22b2.

Re:Turbo Accord Project......help please!!
 

Yeah, Eric is right.. but we covered all that in our long ass thread. His accord is a 4g, F22a1 motor.

F22B1/F22B2 have an offset head pattern.. you might want to consider a head swap.

Read the thread and learn.

the dsm mani's dont work with 5g's....so ur gonna end up spending alot for a manifold which on average equals like half our budget for the whole setup ;D :P

4gZ oWNz jOoOO!!!

Re:Turbo Accord Project......help please!!
 

f20a sohc, f20a dohc, f22a1, f22a4, f22a6, f22b, h23 all have equidistant exhaust ports just like the 4G63 engine that the dsm manifold. Example:
O O O O
f22b1 and f22b2 are the oddballs in this case and their exhaust ports are like this:

Re:Turbo Accord Project......help please!!
 

i'm not going to extend your obnoxiously long thread with this one adam.. i just wanted to gut out midnite's post since it summed it all up so short like.

Re:Turbo Accord Project......help please!!
 

Just make your own manifold, buy some weld els get someone to make you some flanges...measure twice cut one and weld.

Re:Turbo Accord Project......help please!!
 

oooohhhhhhh yeh....you said it rite there ;D 8)

Re:Turbo Accord Project......help please!!
 

Semnos,

I'm all about making my own manifold, but that has the factor of time and the need for a spare f22a1 head laying around.

The DSM way is quick and dirty, I plan to buy a cheap accord to sell it after turbo so as long as it works. ;)

When it comes to say my volvo or the 92-96 prelude me and my brother are talking about getting, that's a different story.
