f22b2 turbo

[97Accord0n18z]

i just bought a turbo kit for my 97 lx....i plan on runnin the turbo at 7-8 psi..is there any thing else i should do 2 my engine ..& i got an intercooler..i heard that u gotta modify the front bumper for the intercooler to fit..if any of u guys know anything let me know..thanks...

[vasponger]

nah i havnt heard of anything, what kit did you buy?

[jdmaccordbo!916]

well im not to sure what all in intales for shure, but when my freind turbod his GSR, he had to build the internals as well... such as differint cams pistons rods an so on.. so it is deffinetly something to look into... ill look an see what info i can dig up on this for you, but i know that there are a couple guys on here that have already done this process so wait an see if they maybe respond to your post...

[97Accord0n18z]

its a drag turbo kit..comes with drag high flow turbo manifold.. turbonetics t3/t4 ball bearing turbo..intercooler,wastegate,blowoff valve... basically everything..

[vasponger]

yeah im not familiar with the drag kit, it prob should come with everything, you shouldnt need to do anytihng to the engine unless you want to run higher boost, besides upgrading your fuel system

[97Accord0n18z]

how much h.p. do you think ill get to the wheels running at 7-8psi...

[vasponger]

i dont know about to the wheels, but id say you should be around 210hp though depending on other mods you got and how many miles on your engine

[97Accord0n18z]

i got 55,000..i got msd ignition...aem fuel system..aem cai. apex n1 exhaust.aem pullies..cams..oh & my car is automatic..(sucks ass)

[Infini Omega]

drag turbo kit has everything but dont raise your boost too high anything above 10psi would be high. i knew this kid that melted his internals when he raised it to like 13 or something. funny shit. anyways 7-8 psi should definitly give you 200hp to the wheel also u should upgrade your gas

[jdmaccordbo!916]

oh & my car is automatic..(sucks ass) nothing wrong with an auto... it is the ultimte sleeper..hehehehe the look on the opponites face when his 5 speed got chocked out by an auto is pricless...

[97Accord0n18z]

yea true...does anyone know about the intercooler fittin in the front bumper?

[jdmaccordbo!916]

i have no idea.. you would think that if it is a kit for the accord, then it would fit like it is.. but if you had to do any sort of mods to the bumper, then i would think that it was to a min... the only thing i could think of is that you would have to modiffi the bumper support or something, i dunno...

[97Accord0n18z]

my exhaust pipingis 2.25inches rite now...should i upgrade it when i put the turbo on?

[jdmaccordbo!916]

i dont know how it is for the accords, but my freind with the gsr an all my freinds with dsm's all have upgraded to 3" mandrell bent piping... so i would think that it would be safe an smart to do that with yours as well..

[Infini Omega]

the intercooler will have to fitted yourself. there will be some hacking from what i remember

[matts]

i seem to remember hearing that 2.5" exhaust was about the right size. 3" seems pretty big, even for a turbod motor.

[Infini Omega]

i dont know about the 4cyl but for the v6 cars i know it has to 3

[vasponger]

yeah i allways thought 2.25 for basic, 2.5/.75 for small turbo/ large NA and 3in for a decent turbo

[jdmaccordbo!916]

yeah i allways thought 2.25 for basic, 2.5/.75 for small turbo/ large NA and 3in for a decent turbo see that is what i heared as well, but i dont have a turbo on my accord, so i couldnt tell you for sure...

[keoki]

i recommend doing some internal work first before putting da turbo on.not 2 diss accordracing but hondasociety.com has a lot of info and pretty much everyone's cool there...........

[jdmaccordbo!916]

well if you seen the old forum, then you would know that this site has alot of shit to read on alot of usefull stuff.. it is just all in the archives now... the site has recently in the last week been updated an there for not to many ppl have been on to make very many sugnifacent posts like the old forum had.. but give it time, an we will be up again... just like before...

hondasociety.com has a lot of info and pretty much everyone's cool there...........
what are you trying to say.. accordracing is not cool....lol.. jk.. but we realy ar3 cool...

[vasponger]

just dont go to Honda-T#@! they are a bunch of dicks!

[jdmaccordbo!916]

just dont go to Honda-T#@! they are a bunch of dicks!
is that the site that banned you or something....

[Carreragt2e]

heres the best advice I can give you
"The Best exhaust for a turbo is the least exhaust" p 131 Maximum Boost

So basiclly, the reason all your friends are going with 3"+ ehaust pipes is because its based off of this. Back pressue in an exhuast system is evil. Im sure since your into the turbos you are familiar with waste gates.. internal vs external. haveing an open waste gate is similar to having an open header. once that bad boy opens up its all wooshes out, and if you really want to make your spine tingle, built that motor up. With the added boost youll be able to perform, and the added power, youll make your spine tingle by the sound of the waste gate fully opened and screaming like a rocket ship.

:D yup that realy does make you wanna wet yourself...lol.. there is a guy on sac-dsm that runs 12's with his 1st gen, an all he did was spend like $750 in tunning... on his stock engine... that car was insanly quick an the hissing of the turbo was enough to make you nut everytime you thought about it...heheheh i could only imagine that on my car though.... dam dreams are nice

[Carreragt2e]

SEe, DSMS are awesome.. its easy as hell to get into the 12s, but heres the thing with DSM's.. you can spend maybe 1000 and be running 12s but soon things will start to break.
I know first hand that their trannies like to break.my friend who I call the DSM leprachon seems to break them weekly. I think the fastest he has ran was a low 12. He finally dished out the cash to get it built up and befor he blew the motor, on his first tunning run at the track ran a 12.5, which is slower, yet at the same time he wasnt breaking stuff (minus the motor a month later, and yes he did build the internals). Word has been that he should bein the low 11s when hes done with the motor builds.. lets see, right now I got 4 friends with some sickly fast DSMs, who are all spending the winter months working and building there freakin motors to make me crap my pants.

I believe the accord trannies are good up to 300.. after that all you get is a car making alot of noise and not going anywhere.
But those damn supra trannies, screw them. they can easily handle 800 hp and just sit back and yawn.. and if anything theyll just be like change my fulid bitch.

[jdmaccordbo!916]

[vasponger]

is that the site that banned you or something....

nah over the summer i went around to all the sites posting the accord meet, and they deleted my thread because i didnt post it in the right spot, but it wouldnt let me post in the events section or anything, they are a bunch tight ass's.

[jdmaccordbo!916]

that is what i like about this site so much.. we have standerds, but we dont over do it.. you know..

[DEaccord95]

1. I suggest building up your internals to be able to handle the boost.

2. I suggest keeping the exhaust you have for now, and researching what might work better for the set-up you have after you have installed the turbo.

3. Custom work will have to be done to the bumper for the intercooler to fit, no biggie.

[jdmaccordbo!916]

DE... what brand internals would you recamend using for system upgrades before installing a turbo... ??

[DEaccord95]

well honestly its not something i've looked into much for our cars, so i don't know what brand name might be better then another. Unfortunately I've never come close to turboing my car so its just not something i have experience with, for Accords that is. However, I do know that by building up the internals it will make for a stronger engine to be able to handle more boost. If i were to though, i would stick to well known names - like i believe Edelbrock and companies such as that make things for our cars........

[jdmaccordbo!916]

realy edlebrock makes parts for are engines hu.. no ish.. tight now that is deffinatly a name that you could trust... i seen a jg throttle body or something like that at one of the shops i go to.. but i did not think of it untile now that that is edlebrock aint it ?? well at least thats what i thought i read on the box...hummm now im curious as to if that woudl fit the accord..

[DEaccord95]

hmmmm....not sure. Being that their mostly domestic related i don't know too much about them.....

[jdmaccordbo!916]

well if they do, then ill be inline to purchase there parts... hehehe i used to have some of there stuff in my older car.. (domestic)... now that car was fun to drift in...

[PeterCorreale]

Were did u get your drag kit from? and how much if u dont mind me askin. i was lookin into gettin a drag kit for my car, a 94. i hear tgood things. About the internals, if u keep under 7 or 8 psi u should be ok, but if u want to be able to boost up the turbo then u would need to have all your internals upgraded as to not blow ur engine. I have stock internals and i was thinkin about bying this kit and keepin it at like 6 psi and then eventually upgrading internals and my bolt ons and go with more boost. O yea and vasponger i take it to bodyboard? i do to.

[vasponger]

yeah i bodyboard
