1. Initial parts sourcing/setup for my turbo Accord:


Got my turbo kit from TREADSTONE PERFORMANCE www.treadstoneperformance.com
Shipping took a whole working week, thanks to FedEx circling around memphis.


T3/T4E50 0.48A/R says it's good for 400whp! Note: Turbo's are authentic and checked by turbonetics (since there are so many disputes in this forum being the turbo not real)







Note: It came with tags and serial no's and date purchase from turbonetics etc. The turbo itself have its own red tag of approved oil test and shaft balance. THE TURBO DOES NOT HAVE A SHAFT PLAY.


The wastegate evolution kit comes with springs, manual, warranty and vacuum pipe/fittings:




The exhaust manifold isn't a 'log manifold' instead it is a casted ductile iron and the ports looks pretty decent for me:





TR8 Intercooler i should say that it a copy of spearco design but damn it looks good and claims to be efficient up to 500hp





Note the bar and plate design.

The intercooler piping matches are thick aluminium tubing, goes through the winshield washer hole on hot side:



Silicone coupling, oil fittings, pod air filter, flanges, clamps, stainless steel down pipe kit etc all in the box:




Missing: Gaskets, gaskets and more gaskets -> use loctite is a solution

Thanks Jason.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Got my internals/drive train components from Bisi at BISIMOTO. http://www.bisimoto.net/store/ for the best of your Honda engine!

Shipping took 3 Working days! Got a really fast response from Bisi after the 'hick-up' and he expedited the shipping without charge. (Sorry for the anxiety).

Arias 86mm Forged Pistons & Bisimoto H-Beam Conrod:


Evolution 12lbs Flywheel & Action 6 Puck clutch unsprung:


H23 Arp Headstuds, Hondata intake gasket, head gasket and spring and Ti retainers and most importantly is Bisi's autograph on USPS paper (lol):


----------------------

Mfactory H22A LSD with oem Honda left bearing and Timken(aftermarket) right diff bearing. Damn it is sexy!!! Received it clean, no burrs and oiled.



Walbro 255lph fuel pump



Hondata S300 with Bisimoto base map:

Glowshift gauges; digital boost and oil pressure combo, tinted series oil temp and oil sandwich plate:

BC RACING coilover set

Still to come very soon: DBA or Brembo slotted front rotors, Whiteline rear sway bar, GFB Mach 1 blow off, Turbosmart boost cont, 'F 22 U' License plate.


2. Engine Re-build:

On Progress!!!!!!!! Wish me luck!!!



Feeling empty:





MY INNER AND OUTER CV JOINT IS SHOT...been trashing it before I sent it for a rebuild and this is what I get:



Engine getting acid bath:



Intercooler charge piping:





Head Set-up, all new parts in but standard valves:



Block, new pistons, re-bored, honed. ARP Head studs in:



One problem, the piston sticks out of cylinder by 36 thousandth of an inch so piston had to be machined down a bit..Re-calculating compression ratio soon...

Cypher Industries in O'connor gave me a 'price' attack so no go for them. Geoff Kendrick Automotive in Osborne Park (he is confident building honda's as he does it often) and have all facility in the house thus better reliability and price.

3. Turbo Time:



Safety First



**** weather through out weekend





Stripping front section



Test fitting the turbo



Tapping through the oil pan for turbo drain line



Dropping fuel tank with the help of my mechanic friend



In with the new walbro pump



Changing to the new injectors



TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WTF DOESN'T THE INTERCOOLER PIPING FIT INTO THE WINDSHIELD WASHER HOLE!!



Cutting the bumper to fit



Intercooler ON!!!!



Re-pinned ecu and P28 Hondata s300 IN!!!!

1. 85mm is the stock. 86mm would be the max that I would go. Not so sure with boost. A boost guru will have to chime in. But I'm pretty sure you should be safe @ 300whp and an 86mm bore on stock sleeves.
2. Yes the H23 ARP's are the bolts to use.
3. No, OEM FPR will work for 300whp.

kccord

Thanks, ghost Accord.


The other thing is, you know how there is a lot of thread on people DIY turbo kit install. For an opinion, scale of 10, how is it to install turbo kit by urself leaving any fabrication (i.e. downpipe exhaust, fmic piping) to machine shop??

Or did you guys have previous experience or used to be mechanic??

Believe me, I've read a lot turbo charge install and it has made me feel extremely comfortable installing the kit myself (I fell cocky as **** lol), hope I don't screw up.....

GhostAccord

If you are mechanically inclined the physical action of bolting up a turbo kit would be simple. That is if you buy a kit that is designed specifically for your engine and chassis. With a purpose built kit, tuning is your major concern. If your piecing a kit together yourself. Then figuring out all the correct parts and then the tuning of the engine is what you need to be careful of.

Again I'll leave the real turbo gurus to correct me if I'm wrong

kccord

i c. The kit that I'm purchasing soon is the treadstone turbo kit, everything is there and made for the f22b1/cd5 accord (beside fuel components)...and Hondata tuning is going to be done at a workshop....sound ok so far who is the boost guru here????

GhostAccord

extralargenog is an active H-T Accord forum member that has a lot of boost experience. Not to say he is the only one, but he has done both the F series an H series boosted. IIRC he is up around the 650-700whp range now with his boosted H22.

kccord

Btw, i'm buying the F22B1 Treadstone turbo kit 2moro and getting it shipped to Australia. I will let you guys know my experience since I've read many question regarding treadstone performance.

kccord

lol, I actually called the turbonetics HQ to check if treadstone performance is an authorised turbonetics dealer and they said he is!

bdmlilburn

turbo looks good man. ive got a uqestion for your turbo gurus out there. as far as tuning goes. is there a program that can be bought that would allow a newbie to plug there computer up to their car and tune it themselves while drivin down the road or is a dyno really the only way to do it

accord99power

I have AEM engine management on my f23, i have only touched very little, its not for newbies. but i do hook up my laptop to it.

accord99power

congrats on your turbo kit, i installed my turbo kit, its fun you'll enjoy it. what are you doing for your oil pan for your oil return line?

kccord

I'm going to run a sandwich plate for the feed line. Drain line needs to be welded on with the bung.

96F22B1Accord

Looks great man, can't wait for more updates. What all are you going to be upgrading on your fuel system?

kccord

Walbro 255lph, precision peak and hold 690cc injectors, Hondata S300...Can't wait till my internals/drivetrain coming in next week from bisimoto! It would be like christmas for my accord

Btw a question, does your engine run abit rough/lack of power when you drive it on cold morning? my gas pedal right now feels like it has no juice.

But then, I downgraded my fuel to 91 octane, I've got shotty header and my header pipe is crushed coz I hit speed hump.

96F22B1Accord

jeez, shipping must be killing you in the outback!

kccord

Yeah shipping was a shocker but once it gets in land - customs and import tax is what hits you real hard. I paid $450 USD for shipping with fedex and when it arrives in sydney, customs/FukEx custom broker wants ~$400 USD in order for the goods to be released.

I didn't want to complain much and paid it right away thus no delay in arrival to my house. Gee, I don't know how much i will paid for my next customs fee from Bisimoto..coz I've spent more with bisi than treadstone (yikes!)

Bump for the morning drive question.

96F22B1Accord

And I thought I was in a bad location, south central US, glad it's you and not me! lol

Kevin,
I will personally look into this for you, as the custom rods were supposed to take 4-6 weeks, but came in sooner. Parts were also sourced for you that we do not carry to even help you out. I sincerely apologize for the delay, but there must be a good reason for this as Bisimoto Engineering is known impeccable service. I am now back in the country, and will have a solution by the end of business today. Thanks for your patience.
