Re: don't see a lot of turbo'd accords..? well look here..! (accordexchange)
nice...but get rid of the slushbox 
my friend just got a drag 4 kit for his accord too
we havent installed it yet but something doesnt look right. the piping that goes from the compressor to the intercooler looked like to wouldnt work. we havent test fitted it but it looked like the radiator/ac condensor would be in the way. i dunno, i'll have to take a closer look.
nice car though

OT: do they make turbos for the V6 accord?
Sounds like a fun DIY to me...twin t3's for ease...then run standalone for management

How much did the exhaust piping cost and who do we speak to about it? Anymore info on it? Any other car applications?

*sigh* someday my H22a turbo accord will be complete.
Thank you drop shop for delaying it by 4 months.

Re: don't see a lot of turbo'd accords..? well look here..!
thanks for the replies... i'm going to keep it automagic for now... try out my luck i guess... you can kinda see the FAL (Flex-A-Lite) tranny cooler in the type r style grille in the 2nd pic... hope that helps the tranny a little... as for the fender bender, a lady in a suv reversed into my car (my 5zigen steering wheel deactivated the horn button) a few weeks before i got the turbo installed... her insurance company gave me some money since it was her fault... and that's why you see the carbon fiber hood on my car... car looks really ghetto right now... need to put on the fender and get a nice front lip or something...
