I want to start putting together a turbo build on my 97 Accord using the 1st/2nd gen DSM manifold trick but I'm having trouble getting complete info from places.

1) I'm guessing I'm going to need a custom down pipe?

2) What engine management? I'd rather piggyback or chip the ECU than go with something like AEM or Hondata.

3) Does anyone have detailed pics of this setup in their car. Seeing actual pics of something helps me get the gist of things better

Thanks

 

well for number 2 i mean usually when you turbo it your going to need tuning capabilites therefore i think its highly recommended that you go with hondata at least.

 

I just realized that the DSM mani wont fit my motor. It's a f22b. So my new question is who makes a good decent priced manifold for this motor?

 

cast iron ebay manifolds

 

Such as this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...Q5fAccessories

 

Spoolin Performance AC compatable log mani- $300



Engine bay pictures



Modified Treadstone Performance IC piping routing






Custom 3" downpipe





Kteller 3" exhaust



I've been using a chipped p28 ecu with crome for fuel management, but i'll be installing hondata s200 next.

 

I would go with ECtune or Neptune over Hondata. They have the capability for the same features but will be cheaper. Just make sure you use a platform your tuner is comfortable with.
