Hey Im currently driving a 92 accord with 87k miles on it and want to go boost with it. Ive been looking on ebay for turbos but cant find any reputable companies. What are some good, yet cheaper turbos for my motor? Im looking for under $2k for a kit. Also what other upgrades would you recommend when boosting stock internals?
Thanks

 

reputable companies and ebay in the same sentence? only kit ive seen from ebay that i thought was ok was the treadstone kit, ebay generic kits suck, even if you run a restrictor and have good luck with the turbo's those crappy manifolds are bound to break. You should look into piecing together a kit.

 

Well Ive seen some legit people selling kits, not powersellers who dont give a **** about their products. What parts/companies would you recommend?

 

i have always liked the drag kits, greddy kits arent too bad but the 18g turbo doesnt leave you with a whole lota room to grow, turbo capability wise. I think you should just piece it together, find a nice cast manifold with decent wastegate placement, find a used t3t04e .63 50 or 57 trim turbo, get a generic 3" downpipe off ebay ( hack it up and reweld if you need to tweak it to fit), check out ebay, the honda-tech classifieds, and other forums just get some used quality parts, Tuning is critical, it will set you back a few pennies.

 

I gotcha man. Ive heard my motor is a pretty decent motor to turbo, its no great motor but I can get some decent numbers out of it! Ill look around classifieds and see what I can do. Anyone else have opinions?

 

yeah f22's do well under boost, id shoot for 300~whp. Do a search , you can find f22 turbo setups of users on honda-tech. see what they used and check out some dyno graphs.
