Okay fellas, help me out with my mid-life crisis. I have a 94 Accord LX that I want to build; it will be a daily driver. I have an AT that is getting the Level Ten performance upgrades, and I need to start building an engine. I'm going to keep the F22B2 and build it for boost.

I want to put together a bullet-proof bottom end, and I need to know what parts would be appropriate. I'm also out of my relm when it comes to turbos; if it isn't a carburated smallblock I'm lost. Can somebody give me some info on all the electronics that are necessary, and maybe suggest a kit? When it's all put together, can I just drive it, or will I have to put it on a dyno to adjust everything?

I'm not trying to do anything to radical, I've just always been a fan of the sleepers.

Help a NEWBIE out.

importbuilders.com or contact Golden Eagle MFG. both of them do great work on blocks, and import builders has complete setups on their site for a relatively good price...

 

As far as electronics go get yourself a aem ems, Wideband O2 and a boost controller. Then get it tuned and that's all you'll need.

 

Okay, from the looks of it, I need to be more specific.
I think I've covered all the basics. The suspension has been upgraded with Tokico Illumina struts, Eibach springs and an Ingalls camber kit. The brakes got upgraded to slotted rotors and kevlar pads. New rubber in the form of 17" Konig Tantrums with 205/40/17 Yoko Parada Spec-2's. The exhaust has been replaced with DC sports stainless header, high flow cat, and GREDDY Evo cat-back. The intake is an Injen short ram with Gude Bullfrog throttle body, and the ignition got a set of Knology wires and iridium plugs.

Thats what I've got; this is what I want. A boosted F22B2 motor cranking out around 300 at the wheels. The important concerns are what CR for the necessary boost, strongest rods and pistons for my application, needed electronics, and anything else you can think of that I'm missing.

Be creative guys! Recommend some parts, give me some ideas. Tell me who has the best turbo kit or who does the best tuning (Georgia Area). Remeber, this is a complete rebuild, and the car is a daily driver so longetivity is a plus.

 

If your getting it tuned then you wont need wideband 02 sensor. You only get a wideband if you are tuning it yourself.
