well i don't know if the tsi you are reffering to is a talon TSI but the brand of the turbo kit is TSI. Just wanted to make sure we are on the same page. i just started looking into turbos so i am pretty much clueless about them.

Oh i see.... I thought you meant Talon TSi turbo. Hey Stef, do you have a link to that kit? I'll check it out....

http://turbokits.com/accord_turbo_kits.html third and 4th one down the page

That is not a bad deal. I wonder what program it is that they're using to control MAP. The 2 injectors I'm assuming will be tapped into the intake pipe before the TB. Have you asked them any other questions like the FMIC dimensions and BOV brand? It looks like it will utilizing an internal wastegate like most T-25's do. Keep me posted bro. :yes:

lol, my bad......I thought ya....Talon tsi 2nd gens did use the greddy t-25 right. Sounds like a good investment if it included an intercooler which i dont know if it did or not...becuase it didnt say.

thanks guys. i dunno what to do anyways. i want a tmic ( just to be original) a smaller turbo because i am dealing with an engine that wasn't designed to be turbo'd, and aftermarket support besides basic bolt ons pretty much inexistent. might as well try to convert it to hydrogen power ;)

it's okay dude. Most hondas are not designed to be turboed neither. Just do it man. I promise that you'll be happy:yes:

your car may not be heavily supported by the aftermarket but be thankful you don't drive a hybrid (ie prius, not a civic hatch with a C5 swap) :cool:

is this okay
 

alright, ive decided that for winter break, im going to tear down my engine, and rebuild it (d16), and not get the b18c5, that i so wished on getting, my question is does this turbo setup sound nice, i want boost but not alot of boost:

i know it says crx, but it will fit on a d16, which i have


when i say rebuild, i mean new pistons, new gaskets(of course) and anything else i come across, that i need to fix because im at 190,XXX miles

^ plus new cam shaft and gear ( yes GEAR, sohc engine, i fell fixxing up a d series will make a statement)

krwheeler85,
If you are going to rebuild the D-engine, you might as well shoot for higher boost goal. I dont see the point of rebuilding it and not boost high. I'm running 10psi on stock internals with no problems. My advice for you is to focus on building the bottom end. I wouldnt mess with the head or valve train work until you completed what you want to do on the bottom end. However, you should concentrate on maybe getting an aftermarket IM, if you wish to further your set-up potential/efficiency. Dont worry about the cam gear and camshaft, unless you get a turbo cam-shaft. Stock Honda heads are efficient as is, even on force induction believe it or not.

T3T04e are big turbos. I think it's too big for a D16 for street uses. I guess you can get a 50T and 48 A/R which I think will be the best flowing T3T04e for a D-engine, while trying to hit max boost set-point before achieving engine redline.

Goodluck on your project and keep us posted!:yes:

^thank you,

you said:
(However, you should concentrate on maybe getting an aftermarket IM, if you wish to further your set-up potential/efficiency.)

what is an after market IM?

get aftermarket pistons/rods not stock ones, 250 wheel hp will be easily reached.

IM= intake manifold. Skunk2 and edelbrock make some sick manifold! :yes:

^ I knew that, just slipped my mind.

where can i find a good IM for Cheap, >200 dollars

i also plan on getting new pistons/rods, and a complete rebuild kit

dont worry about a IM, worry about the rebuild first.

if im going to do anything, im going to do it all, less time without a car

I see. Ask Hondaman-iac if he sells it. He can give you great deals. His items are all shipped prices. You can also try www.prostreetonline.com

you should contact www.straightlinespecialties.com about the turbo kit. i was just talking to one of the owners the other day, and they're designing a killer turbo kit for the d series engine. don't expect it to be cheap though: 5x trim turbo, tubular exhaust manifold, fmic... yeah, almost all of us would get a good look at your tail-lights if you run that stuff.

i will look into that!!

Nothing wrong with higher compression turbo set-up if tuned correctly! Hence the word TUNED! the higher static compression will not only allow the car to launch harder it will spool the turbo faster, therefor allowing larger A/R housing for more CFM. but again may require higher octane fuel ( higher octane fuel burns at a slower rate). Also ignition timing may need to be re configured, I don't like the BTM's but a Greddy Emanage or perhaps an Apexi ITC may be cheaper rout than stand-alone. Lower static compression allows for more boost but robs HP and Torque from the engine. MSD BTM also robs HP. It's funny how many misconceptions are believed to be required components for a turbo engine. And I'm also not a fan of the one piece metal head gaskets that are unreliable. Cometic by far is the best headgasket on the market, it's layered and comes in various thicknesses, and all Honda applications. I use them exclusively, unless you go the rout for a race car than I recommend O-ring block w/ reciever in head and Copper gasket. a concideration should also be taken for an ignition upgrade , the MSD 6a w/ a Blaster or HPV coil work wonders on a boosted car.

^that is what I'm talking about.... thanks importrepairguy :yes:. Those are great points!

wow, i feel really dumb all of a sudden...:confused:

you will learn all this shiznit pare. Once you get your turbo set-up, you wont stop.

i feel even dumber

bottom line is tuning. Most preferably, dyno tuning.:yes:

lol i ve just decided..to build my F22 N/A....a little...get header..pullies...i know a guy who might build up the head(port and polish..retainers..valves..whatever the hells in there lol)...maybe down the road ill toss a turbo in there:cool: gota get my Mr7's first..:)

Nice... he he he he.... i just sold My "MR7's"....:yes:

NOOOOOOOOOOO WHat colour were THEY;( ;( ;(

gunmetal :yes:

i like how you just say "toss a turbo in there", cuz i'm sitting here staring at all my turbo stuff and thinking... damn.... i'm gonna have a bit of downtime.. lol

i got 2 other people helping me and we're shooting for 3 days...
this is a full install on a 94 teg [turbo,manifold,injector,safc,resistor,intercooler, BOV]

wut are my chances of meeting the goal?
if it's more than a week lie to me.......

If it is a kit, it shouldnt take more than 2 days. Custom and piecing together is a totally different story. My car has been sittin on a jackstand for almost 2 weeks now. I thought I had everything but little things pop up. The biggest draw back was my turbo manifold and turbo not fitting in right. But I do have a solution in place.

thermal, i said what up to you in another thread, but im back as well so i can help out peeps with ???'s too... stupid school has taken up so much of my time but oh well i cant wait anymore. time for some changes on my car as well. who would of thought engineering was so damn difficult??? not me...

lol..... glad to see you back man. :yes: :cool: :yes:
