What do I need?
Howdy,
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, because I'm new to the forum. Please be patient with me.
First, I want opinions (do I sound demanding or what? heh ).
This is all in a 1993 Accord LX (auto, but I'm swapping to a 5 speed)
My F22A1 has 233,000 miles on it. Am I thinking realistically when I want to turbo a motor this old? It burns about 1 quart of oil every 2000 or so miles, is this excessive? What am I looking at in terms of the amount of boost I can run on this stock motor? My power goal is 300whp. Is this goal realistic? If this goal isn't realistic, what IS a realistic goal on a motor of this age? EXACTLY what would I need to meet this goal, in terms of parts? I want full blown details, e.g. What parts are required to turbo a motor (like the turbo (duh), BOV, Standalone ECU, etc), what is their function, and what, in your opinion, would be the specific item I should buy? (Brand, item #, etc, i.e. Walbro 255lph). I know I could just search and piece together the information, but I would like to consolidate all of the information in ONE post, and with specific thoughts regarding my engine.
Thank you all ahead of time! Hopefully you have enough patience to read through all of my post, and to type a reply. Thanks!
