for those of u who don't know, i had the f-max turbo kit installed on my 6th gen until it was totalled. i now have another 6th gen and was wanting to build a custom turbo system. can u guys tell me exactly what i need where to find and possibly the measurements of the piping and all that good stuff. i'm already goin with the stage3b hondata so i have the fuel management taken care of. thx

note:f23 5-spd

 

c'mon guys, i need some help from the accord guys. i wouldn't ask but i don't know **** about putting a turbo together.

 

just do a search. Its is all rather staright forward.

 

yea i did a search, its all really helpful if u have a d,b,or h series engine.

 

alright....first of all, the accord will do nicely with any of the following turbos: tdo4, tdo5, t3. t3/t4 hybrid. or possibly a t4....those are your basic options for reliability purposes....you will need to buy some 2.5 - 3 inch diameter madrel bent tubing, i would by a couple of the 180 degree bends, and then about 3-4 feet of straight pipe...the piping is somewhat custom to your own specifications, but i'm sure you cuold go to the f-max or DRAG webpage to find a relaitve idea of how to routhe the pipe...you can use some of the typical clamping devices to hole the pieces together, but i would recomend someone weld them for you because of the pressure these pipes take...you will also need some larger fuel injectors as well...(good choice with the Hondata by the way!)...and i think that's all you will need...good luck, and have fun! anymore questions just ask!

 

thx nick. alot of great info. have any tips on which intercooler(brand)(type). i'm on a budget here, and i hear that custom is the way to go if ur goin turbo. also who makes a good manifold. i was goin to try and salvage some of my stuff from my f-max turbo but it was all ruined in the wreck. any other info u want to offer wiill be greatly appericiated.

 

u can buy the fmax manifold from importparts.com

intercoolers are pretty easy to come buy...just look around...not sure if any are better than others

 

 

HKS makes an intercooler that will fit in the accord, and they may make a manifold but i'm not sure....and also, about your custom piping, HKS also makes this in either rubber or alluminum...(i'd advise you to use alluminum because rubber expands and you may lose a certain amount of boost this way)...check out their website...

 

great! thx again nick. keep it comming man u can be my turbo yoda

 

I recommend you check http://www.turbo-performance.com, they have a lot of good parts for the F22/F23.

 

haha, well i dunno bout that, but we'll see...i myself am extensively planning on a 300 + hp turbo aplication for my f22...so we will see how it comes out...ha

 

that'll be sweet! the f22 and 23 are basically the same right? let me know ur plans. what have u done so far? my first 6th gen was pretty fast, now i have to start all over and wanna do nothin but custom. thx again for ur help.

 

btw, where can i find the aluminum piping?

 

ive got an f-max manifold if you want 300 shipped

if you go to the fi sponsor classifides section they have a few reliable guys that sell bends just make shure that you read the whole thread fo any bad remarks before you go out and buy something

i am trying to build a turbo setting on my accord to and all the research i have done says that you can boost up to 9lbs with out harming your stock bottom end. right now i just seeing if buying a kit or getting parts seperately thats the hardest part because i dont want to invest in it then have it blow up on me but i was thinking of getting a ramhorn manifold but i heard you can have a/c then but a good site is http://www.turbo-kits.com/accord_turbo_kits.html tell how the project is going i ll get back to you on how i am doing to
