okay i have a few questions so i know what im getting my self into, firstly how much boost can my un-sleeved block take..i was told a maximum of 8psi, secondly if i milked my oem clutch for what its worth with the added power how long would it last, and finally what ecu (exc) aem ems have you guys used to tune your turbo-ed accord? i was told the vafc2 is good enough? ~ thanks

A lot of people do an obd1 conversion and run a chipped p28 with crome or Uberdata.They are free ecu editing programs you can run from a laptop.

If you do searches on Uberdata or crome you will find a lot of good information on engine management.

and f22s have Iron sleeves so the block can handle a high amount of boost.But you were pretty close to right on what a stock engine can handle 8-10 psi 10 is the highest Ive heard of being reliable then the stock cast piston ring lands give out.

I plan on doing a turbo setup my self sometime this year.By my original plan it was supposed to already be done but my work slowed down unexpectedly

 

yep i was supposed to be done before Christmas but between ice and a ******* deer my turbo dreams disappeared i should be done by the end of march..just in time for summer

vafc2 would work to control fuel from larger injectors, but it does nothing for ignition timing, which will get advanced using this setup which is bad for boost.

running a chipped obd1 ecu is the best fuel management besides going to a full stand alone.

 

I would personally use Hondata or Uberdata.

A VAFC won't cut it. To even do it half assed, youd need a VAFC, boost controller, and an FMU, and I dont think that would stop your block from blowing because you cannot adjust timing.

People will tell you a VAFC is fine, but youre not gonna enjoy it down the road.

 

I am running a 6th generation accord boosted. So far i have had no issues at 7psi on the stock F23 internals. I am using a p28 OBD1 conversion with Hondata and 440cc fuel injectors. I have seen people running with the AFC at the same boost level and they don't make as much power and they tend to have moe reliability issues. as soon as I can I will post dyno chart, but I produce 193 horsepower and 203 lb/ft of torque at 7psi on 91 octane, a friend with the same turbo, same manifold and intercooler etc. only makes about 170hp and 168 lb/ft at 7psi.

 

this is the set up im gonna be running...t28 turbo w/ internal waste-gate custom turbo manifold custom downpipe, removal of a/c, frount mount, intake 370cc injectors, greddy profec s boost control new fuel pump, xs bov...cant find a 3" exhaust so im staying with my old 2.5" one with omni test pipe oh and some kinda boost guage. without switching to obd1 what would work, for both performance and reliability, obd2 w/ hondata s300 w/ boost profile. I dont want to spend a grand on stand alone. anyone know where to get a 3" exhaust and are 370" cc injectors large enough? i can still use the vafc for vetc control and fuel right? without having problems? the feedback was really helpfull

 

from what i know the s300 still needs an obd 1 conversion. if not, let me know.
