I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

I'm currently building up my 92 accord, F22A1 engine, and i would like to put a turbo kit in it. If this is even possible, should i build it myself, or buy a kit? I'm not very familiar with this type of mod, so if anyone can tell me anything, I'll be glad to hear it, thanks!

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

Just read the FAQ/Forums and check out all the turbo/tech projects. After a little bit of reading you should be able to figure out everything you need to put together your own turbo kit. After doing some research if you have any specific questions feel free to ask them here.

Cool, I'll do just that! thanks

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

600$ for the whole kit or just the intercooler? what kind of kit is it, and what does it include? Please send me pics if possible, thanks alot, Chris.

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

600 for the turbo kit with no intercooler.

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

hm, interesting. I have a few questions tho, Do you think your header causes turbulence to the point that power is lowered until the turbo tries to compensate for that? Don't most good turbo set-ups you a 4-1 collector pre-turbo to the flange? How much boost does this set-up make, do you have a guage hooked up? Did you run an EGT guage?

Hmmmmmm, I guess he sold his turbo, or he disapeared of the face of the earth....oh well!

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

Every one says turbos are great, and i agree, but every one tells me i have to rebuild my engine in order to install one. Engine rebuils, unless u do it yur self, are an expensive and time consuming hassle, but is it really the only way to go about if I want to put a turbo on my car? I meant, theres gotta be something i can do that will allow me to install my turbo without emptying my pocket and time on a rebuild!!! help me out guys!!!!
P.S. I dont plan on turning my car into a dragster, I just want boost! so are there turbos that will not destroy my stock engine, but still give some snort to my car?

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

The manifold i have doesnt stop anyboost, i have boosted 25+ psi a couple times. spools like a mother.

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

25 psi +??? Thats alot man, is yur engine stock?
Now I dont kno alot bout turbos, but I've looked at a bunch of turbo manifolds, and none of em come close to lookin like the thing youve got on yur engine. You must of heard of cylinder pulses, cuz i did, and with the set up you got, the whole concept is ignored. I mean, youve got two of your cylinders going straight into each other. It may spool like a mother, but i think if you put a real manifold on it, it will spool like a BIG motha. and what that piece of vacuum tube lookin thing goin into your intake manifold? Isn't that supposed to be a hardline?

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

The manifold ihave is called a Log manifold, they work just fine. and i ran 25+ psi on a stock engine. The "vacume" thing that is on the intake is a flexable charge pipe. ill let it go for 500 now because i just got a new car and it needs an engine. woowooooooo (93 cx hb)

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

How many milles did u have on your stock engine? was it rebuilt in order to handle the power increase? And explain to me what a Log manifold is? do you have other parts from your accord that you are selling?

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

dude, seriously, do some research. you should buy the kit for 500, that's a steal. this is homemadeturbo, not greddyturbo website, almost everyting on here looks like crap, people that aren't professional welders make their own manifold, that's why the look like that, anyways, your asking some silly questions, just read the site some more. you do NOT have to build your engine to boost it. you should buy his kit for 500

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

True true, manifolds are manifolds i guess, but I want to know why you are selling this kit so cheap?? I mean, 500$ is not alot compared to some other used kits i've seen. what does it have? or not have???
P.S. My engine has 221596 km on it. Now u kno why i am concerned about it self destructing in a few months cuz put a turbo on it! Thanks for the replies tho guys, i appreciate it, Chris.

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

oh, well that's a different story. either way, you can turbo it, it will prolly last a little while at low boost, then if it blows up, just get a new one, you can pick up a long block for fairly cheap (be sure to get one with lower miles ;) )

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

Hold on hold on. Did you say you boosted 25 psi on the stock motor? HAHA either you wanted to blow it right then or your boost gauge was way off. I have a boosted 93 accord and there is no way it would handle 25 psi on any day without some bottom end work done. The rods would go before you could say "oh ----... my engine is broke"

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

yes 25 + psi, it was going off my gauge, (i took the wastegate line off) it was fun as ----, but yes i did blow my engine. but it was faasssttt

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

I'm not an turbo expert, in fact, my car doesn't have turbo(not yet ;D) but i have been geeting some info and appears you can put a turbo without rebuilt the engine at 9 psi max. And getting more info 9 psi incrase aprox in 40 the hp.

Can somebody tell me if exists a table with the psi-hp relationship?

Re:I want to turbocharge my accord, need help
 

no it all depends on tuning you can get more then a 100 hp gain on 9 psi.. just matters ur setup (forexample a v8 running 9 psi will make more then 200 hp more tuned)
