I really wanna turbo my accord, and i have a friend that just did an upgrade on his 99 eclipse gsx. he got rid of his turbo, and his intercooler. i was wondering what else i would need to turbo my accord. thanks for your help

 

Not the turbo off his eclipse. It's too small for a 2.3. Search this was covered a while ago. I have some parts in classifieds that you might want, such as the manifold and the intercooler.

 

i have his intercooler as well, and im really turboing for the slight increase in performance and the sound, so im not really interested in a big turbo. plus, im trying to keep the budget on this project as low as possible. does anyone have a list of parts that i would need?

 

you're going to be maxing out of boost before you get your engine to freeway speeds. You'll blow the turbo eventually. Turbos are not 'slight increases'. 5 pounds of boost will net you a good 40 hp i bet. If you like the sound get one of those whistles to put in your exhaust pipe. SEARCH for the basic components of the turbo kit. Filter, piping, intercooler, wastegate, blow off valve, fuel management, manifold, oil lines, injectors, fuel pump, gauges, tuning, etc.

 

oh also, ive searched high and low, but i cant find out the number for my engine (h22, f22, b22 etc) its a 2.3l ulev vtec, and i think it might be an f22a. i hope it is, cause then i can use a 2g dsm manifold for my turbo setup.

 

Not sure how much different my setup will be since my car is a 93, but I'm gonna be breaking my car down to begin installing a twin turbo setup off of my 94 Supra. If it gets too involved I plan to scratch that idea and just get something available off the shelf. I don't have anything invested in the car so I can afford to drop a little $$$ in this. Like the other guy said though, if you are looking for modest gains then turbo is not the route you need to pursue.

 

Nope you're an F23. 1998-2002 uses the F23.

no such luck you have an F23A - different head pattern

TT accord? good luck, sounds like a big headache to me... IMO scratch that idea - a DSM mani should work on your accord tho - 93 is F22A right?

You are correct, the DSM manifold will fit, however some of the holes will have to be drilled. To blackshadow113 I would definately do more research into forced induction before you do something that drastic to your car. If you want something that is fairly straight foward, there are several kits made for you f23. Those wold be much easier than doing a piece together/junkyard setup.

 

Yeah there is a reason he got rid of that T-25 (aka T-too small) turbo, its lacking for the 2.0L, so it won't help your 2.3 much at all. And the stock SMIC, well, it's decent, but I'd rather get a large core off ebay or something and custom fab some piping. I would just get a kit honestly, there isn't much (if anything) you can use off a DSM. Well good luck with the project, but I'd just save up for a kit, much less headache that way.

 

like they all said, that turbo is a lil small, u'll regret it.

what kinda money u looking to spend?
i still have my DRAG Turbo kit on my car, but awhile ago i was looking to sell it cause i just moved into a new house. i'm looking to get $1,500 or best offer for it if ur interested. NotoriousB can vouch for me, i sold my AEM EMS to him. i ran 17psi on my stock block, theres a video somewhere around if u look.

IMO, u should also do lots and lots of research before putting ur foot in the turbo world.

 

its not a good choice to go turbo when all you know about a turbo is that it makes a cool sound...

 

the sound of the turbo @17psi is so sweet!

This thread and the 'will an h22 manifold fit my f22' thread are so full of misinformation, its disturbing.

I was't talking about the guy w/ the f23. I was speaking to Rainman15 who said he had a 93 accord. He was talking about the TT supra setup, and that is when I confirmed notoriousB's post about the DSM manifold fitting the f22a. Confusing ehh?

after you custom weld all the manifold, downpipe, balance and rebuild the tiny bitty t25, guess what? you might as well put the money for a new turbo

I "owned" a 94 TT supra several years ago that I had modified before I got rear ended one weekend by some dumbass that was looking at a car dealership while cruising Va Beach Blvd. I still have all the stock parts the shop took off the car during the build. I had switched that car to a single turbo. I'm only planning to use the larger turbo and waste gate from the supra's stock setup.
I'm not stupid enough to think I can just bolt both these things in their present form up to the side of my honda motor and by an act of god it would work. The only reason I'm not yanking the engine and starting with a fresh built bottom end is there is nothing wrong with the engine in the car, and I don't have any money in my honda so I don't care if I tear it up. Why spend that extra money on a new engine if you don't need to? If my plans don't work out I can always just pump a **** load of nitrous up the stock engine and have a little fun (I'd bring the camera of course) and then have an excuse to buy another motor.
