Hey all, i was just looking for some input. I currently have a 94 accord lx with an f23 swap, im looking to turbo it shortly but this being my first experience with turbos i would like some advice before I do. Im just wondering what all I need, larger injectors, sensors, ECU? the works. Just like everyone else I don't have an enormus amount to spend on this but I do have a fair amount to put forth. Much appreciated.

 

alright first turbo car huh....
Well let me just tell you that turbo cars are the most high maintenance cars ever!!!
And can have lots of problems is they arent built properly..

But anyway other than that you"ll be addicted in no time...

First off whats your hp goal???

 

youre gonna have to switch to synthetic and change it more often I have heard.

 

Well, i don't really have a set goal on Hp for it, im not sure on what i could really get out of it either. Im just looking to have a little more fun with it and I enjoy turning wrenches. When i got the car at first I did an f23 swap into it and then found out it had iron sleeves, runs only 8to1 compression and had larger displacement than the other 4cl engines, so i thought that maybe it would be fun to do a turbo on it. I want to do it right the first time, i find that makes life easier. And as for maintenance, i dont mind, it will keep me a lil busy.

 

stay below 6psi on stock sleeves, (10psi MAX and that's if you can tune). Buy a kit instead of trying to piece everything together, will save you the head ache later. Injectors, 2 or 3 bar map sensor, wide-band O2, and a tunable ECU is the minimum requirement for a dependable setup. good Luck.

 

Much appreciated.
