I am researching for a future setup for a 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, which I want to use as a Daily Driver, it's curb weight is 3000 lbs.

F23A block (Iron liners stock)
H22A4 Crank & Rods
Custom pistons 86.25 mm bore, 9.5:1 compression (2120 cc's)
H22A Head, stock cams & valves
F23A Transmission (really long gearing, comes stock in 2.3CL's)
550 cc injectors
Neptune EMS upgrade

I want to go with a full-race kit... but their H22 kits are all for civics/integras, doesnt mention accords (2.3CL) or preludes.

I want a turbo that can give me:

200 wtq @ 3250 rpm
250 wtq @ 4000 rpm
300 wtq from 5000-7250 rpm

350 whp

I want to run less than 14 psi.

Is there a turbo that can acheive my goals? Or am I asking for too much?

 

the 14psi limit is really the only issue. I would say a GT30R...not sure which turbine housing tho... prolly the .63

IF the psi limit wasn't there... .82AR GT28RS

 

I want to keep the boost low, and keep turbo lag to a minimum. I know this means a BB turbo, but I am willing to pay to play in that department. Are there any compressor maps for the GT series that can be viewed?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention.... 91 octane tune, since this is a daily driver.... you know what? I would probably get it tuned on 89, but run 91 for a small measure of security.

300 lb/ft torque at 7250 = 414HP

lol i didn't even notice he was quoting torque numbers...in that case I have NO CLUE.

well, 350 whp at 7250 then. ~250 wtq

Obviously, a turbo that can spool up early is going to die off in the top end.

 

but 14psi? I know i made 250/250ft lbs on 7psi on a 2.4L thats just a simple 60trim .63 ar turbo. I think a GT30R with a small turbine housing is going to be your only real option.

 

14 psi is the upper limit. If I can make my goal with less psi, then awesome! Do you have a compressor map for the GT30R?
