finally done with install...*pics* *LOTS OF IT*
finally install's pretty much done...just have to add a new cat. and a flexpipe to my downpipe...
ok, here's the rundown:
t3/t04e 50 trim, stage 2 wheels, .63 a/r
drag gen 4 cast iron manifold
spearco-core intercooler
tial 35mm wastegate
drag 4 blingbling pipings
blitz dd bov
dsm 450cc injectors with obd1 clip
obd1 resistor box
vafc hack
aeroquip ss braided oil return line with 45degree swivel fittings
2.5 inch drag gen 4 downpipe
goodridge ss braided oil feed line
autometer cobalt series boost, egt, a/f gauges
greddy turbo timer
car was already equipped with:
vafc
2.5 catback (which splits into 2.25 dual) with obx b5 mufflers
aem cai
dc sports 4-2-1 header
neuspeed sports springs
wheels, etc etc
install was a bitch! took about 4 days to get all the parts in...injectors took about a day with clips/resistor box...
later found out that i was leaking oil from oil feed and oil return, so had to take them apart and teflon tape it (drag install manual says not to teflon tape the threads), broke a oil pressure sending unit and had to replace that, etc etc etc...
well, after about 2 weeks of total downtime (didn't have time to take it to shop to get the downpipe welded w/ flange for stock cat. since drag's dp doesn't come flanged), the car does finally run without any oil leaks...
well, i'll let the pics speak for themselves...

bov sounds like...as if you're dumping a bucket of water on an asphalt...i kno it's kinda hard to imagine, but sorta sounds like that...

Re: finally done with install...*pics* *LOTS OF IT* (ben@importparts.com)
oh, forgot to give props to importparts...although it was a rough ride, they hung around and got my stuff out at the end...
hey, it's the result the matters right? painful waiting it was, still i support importparts and hondadriven (aka charles)~
the power's ok for what it is at this moment...boosting about 6-7psi and with vafc dumping fuel to prevent detonation, the car does idle and run better than i expected...
hopefully after i get it up 10 psi + tuning, i'll be able to hit somewhere around 230ish whp...

Looks good to me.
A 95 Accord LX here with a t3, and a basic turbo kit completely untuned went 14.6 on 17" wheels and Nitto NT555 street tires.
Your t3/4 with some tuning should be an easy 13 second car.
Congrats on a VERY clean car and turbo install.

Re: finally done with install...*pics* *LOTS OF IT* (RastaGt1)
importparts can hook you up with pretty good pricing...
mine was 2800 for basic kit, but i upgraded to tial wastegate which was 190 some dollar option...
also, i'm sure it's available for 93 accord...f22b is it?
