Accord build about to begin
 

Been looking to turbo my 99 accord (f23A1) for some time now. Finally got the money and time to do it.
Parts have finally arrived. Still waiting for the Blow off Valve, and have to order the Tial 38mm wastegate. Should start the build in about a week. Here is what I've got so far.

T3/T04E 54 trim
Log mani w/ wastegate ext.
6" JRC intercooler
2.5" charge piping
Oil feed and return lines
P28 ecu w/ uberdata
OBDII to OBDI conv harness
Correct Inject 450cc Injectors
Going to be running 8 psi max with conservative tune. Car is meant for road racing not quarter mile. Still hoping for over 200 whp. I'll update this thread as progress continues. Thanks for the help from everyone on here. Stealthmode, Tuner Toys, ProjectTeg, and everyone else who posted info relevant to the accords.

youll definatley hit 200whp with some good tuning....good luck

Re: Accord build about to begin
 

I'm preety sure I'm going to end up over 200whp. Not the 220 some guys get, but still over 200. Going to start doing some NASA HPDE soon, and need to be able to run wide out for 30-40 minutes. Might even only run 7psi for the time being. I also live up in the mountains. It's a 20 minute hard drive up a winding highway to get to school.
Engine build is planned next. Pistons, rods, bearings, Headwork, along with an H22 transmission. But that wont be till I get my commuter car. Hopefully in a week or so. After that I'll bump her up to 15 psi or so. Should be enough to stay competitive in NASA Super Unlimited along with some nice suspension work.
I'm also looking for a tuner in the Santa Cruz/San Jose, CA area that can tune Uber. Would like to get a good street tune before heading to the dyno.

so youre from the bay eh? san jose has DNR, theyre supposedly pretty good, but learn to tune yourself its a worthwhile experience

Re: Accord build about to begin
 

I'm from down near Santa Cruz, up in the boondocks. But San Jose is only 30 minutes away. I'm looking to learn, but I'm a hands on learner. Need someone who knows what they are doing to show me and guide me as I do it. Don't pick up from just reading about it, and experimenting on my daily driver At the moment doesn't sound too appealing.

turbos aren't necessary good for auto x

Re: Accord build about to begin
 

Not going to be doing Auto X. Actually going to be doing road racing at Laguna Seca, Sears Point, Buttunwhillow. Preety much any track close enough for me to drive to that NASA hold events at.

Re: Accord build about to begin
 

I wish I could do that^ but I live in mn :'(

Re: Accord build about to begin
 

you should make more than 220lbft of tq, tq is good :) i dont know about going all out for 20minutes straight though.

Re: Accord build about to begin
 

how much did all your parts set you back? i have a f23a1 in my 2002 accord and i am looking at building it but want to see if i cant swap heads on it first. any pointers are appreciated.
