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.

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.

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.

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.
i dont know about going all out for 20minutes straight though.
