Hows it going?! Well i decied to make a intro thread(first one ever!!!) so here we go.

I drive a 1988 honda accord with a freshly rebuilt(a20a3) motor with a few goodies installed. Got the basic I/H/E at the moment but im looking to up the power of the car with a T25 from a friend. Gonna hopefully be boosting by the middle of next month and be on a good street tune by the end of the month. SOoo yea thats the plans. ill include a few pics for the people who wont read this :rolleyes:

Welcome! Your car looks similar to my first car! I used to have an 89 Accord DX. Long gone though.

I also plan on having my 99 EX (d16y8) boosted by the end of July. All I need is an upgraded clutch, manifold, gauges, and oil lines.

lol, you should realy try and get that Mitsu sign off the IC. I can't tell you how hard i would laugh if I saw your 88 Accord with an IC with the Mitsu sign on it.

talk to accoredepicenter he has had a 3g for as long as i have know him and boosted it a few years back car hauled ass till the bearings went to hell. built for boost now just need to get him motivated to finish the few little things he has left.

Best of luck to you! I see you blacked out the FMIC to loose the three diamonds already LOL!

Was the mitsu sign painted on their originally? If so, I would say take some paint stripper.. like the ones in the aerosol cans (wear gloves at least when using it... it'll make your skin feel like it is burning if it touches you), and completely remove all the paint and re-paint it black.

You can still see the mitsu. sign there, but only if you stop and look, people driving by won't notice it I bet.

i think most people start off saying that you'll eventually want more

idk, when i did my first turbo set up in my integra, i got 196whp, with just an fmu, and i was pretty happy with it. was an awsome DD lots of torque still pretty good fuel milage, wasnt breaking axles, still pulling away from most 4 bangers...id say 200whp is a good number for reliablilty and some fun,
