Alright fellas, i've been in the game since last april(2012) and never posted here no pictures of my ride or any of that sort just signed up. I have very big plans for the accord and plan on finishing big spending end of May. Got the car last april for my birthday, attained a job last November. I'm 19 don't flame cause i save for what i want.

Guys i chose the k20 9.8:1 pistons which would put me to 10.8:1 i have E85 around but i think i can get away with my power goal on 93 pump gas without a knock. 400+whp high boost, 350 mid, around 250 wastegate but im sure my 8psi wastegate will yield more than that.

The block is at the machine shop as of Friday May 10th 2013. Should get it back sometime next week and then i begin to put her back together.
I do have a turbonetics turbo which im thinking to rebuild and just use instead won't hurt.

Turbo set up:
ebay .57 trim turbo Purchased (will upgrade to precision as soon as i get back from vacation and dyno tune her. Will be street tuned before i leave)

May 9th 2013 before block was dropped off.

 

Just what kind of game are you playing?

Word of advice, keep that garbage can empty - you ARE going to NEED it.

You could start filling it with those Smart Fire Injectors. If you have to ask why, then you didn't do your research.

 

Car looks clean, except for that "illest" nonsense. My younger brother has the same car in an Auto.. *snicker*

 

 

Okay *******, not here to please you, don't like what you see. Kiss my *** and go about your own business.

 

Which manifold and downpipe did you use?

 

He's trying to help you.. those are notoriously bad injectors.

 

**** it let him fail if hes gonna respond like that lol

 

For those who cared. Take a look. http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=46104

And to those who think i would "fail" whatever. Planed on getting id injectors after my vacation anyway.....You know nothing about me so i assume you think i'm stupid. But okay.

 

Ok. Real talk here.. Based upon this..



Questions: Answer these more for yourself, not for me....

A. Wastegate opening is pointing upward.. Do you plan to do some sort of weird hood exit, or flip the gate around to point downward properly past the engine bay to either merge into the exhaust system, or vent to atmosphere

B. Radiator upgrade.. Is there a plan there, or to actually get a radiator that will be able to cool down those increased cylinder pressures. I'm just saying that every accord from that year that's done this, always wound up changing radiators.. You'll really need a replacement if the dumptube is not properly made.

C.eBay turbo question .. you posed a question as to whether or not an impeller blade would cause damage to the rest of the car. Actually the answer is no, not immediately, but the foreign debris that a broken blade creates destroys the turbocharger, goes into the oil system and could destroy your bearings. And yes, that's not a rare occurrence when using those kinds of parts. In addition, a 6262 would leave you in the cold compared to smaller, turbochargers that would take better advantage of the rpm band and cylinder head design that you have on that car. Not saying you can't use a precision, but going with this "bigger is always better" approach, can easily leave you in Grandma's 1992 Grand Prix dust because you oversized the turbo thinking more of your ego than the application.

Soo.. good luck.. no flaming, all business, but.. stuff you need to consider, as it seems as though it hasn't been addressed in either of your two threads.

 

You know i really appreciate your comment, to answer you. Yes a radiator will be also purchased. I am not using the 6262 i'm running a turbonetics 60-1 trim right now at this very instant and will continue to use it. There is nothing within my build that will jeopardize my car. It is done right. Wastegate...good thinking there is already a tube i have made for it that leads down the bay and is open in the direction of the exhaust. Anymore concerns?

Nope. Gotta give bravery points for running the Mark II Deltagates. I hadn't run one of those in.... well, let's just say a very long time.

 

Lol on the wastegate, yeah its an old one and a strong one at that, i still have tial here but since this was already on the manifold i didn't feel the need to just take it of to put my other one on.

 

mmkay.. I'll just say this. There's a reason WHY those deltagates aren't used anymore. mainly... They don't hold boost pressure very well outside of the 9psi range without stability issues.

 

But its a "strong" one....

 

Well thats nice to know, have you had issues with it? Because its been 4 years so far running with this on another car...i will take my chances....if anything hello tial.

 

Again. steady boost issues are common, depending upon how high over 9psi you get. Hopefully the motor won't grenade before you get the TiAL from the inherent spikes from that thing. Man, in 1998 when they were all the rage, 2 out of 5 lost their engines due to the adjustment screw on that gate.. So.. hopefully you'll have better luck

 

That's why everyone upgrades to their larger 42mm gate

But honestly TiAL pretty much is the industry standard. Turbosmart also makes an affordable 38mm gate with quality on par with that of TiAL

And it's nice to see people going high compression on turbo builds. A few years ago we would've all been told we were crazy and that it wouldn't work

Look at us now lol

 

Its more of a clearance issue here, when i do upgrade radiator and i will go around shopping for a nice new wastegate. Alot of people here bash on everything...the car is not complete to the way i want it. I don't need advice from anyone here i was just sharing my accomplishments. I know what needs to go and what doesn't. and @ wantboost damn right high comp ftw!! :D

 

a few years my d16 was stroked out and 10.5:1 comp with a gt28rs and boy oh boy was that a fun car that pissed off alot of people. anyway with that setup and your goal i would go bigger on the intercooler. with the high compression you want everything as efficient as possible or you will be rebuilding again before you get your set up "the way you want it". but you will either take the advice or learn on your own 2, to each their own.

 

True, i'm not too sure if you guys understand me very well. This will be a 400+whp vehicle...not daily driven at 400whp all day everyday. 250whp daily is my goal. As you can see the car isn't a race car.

 

Now for those with my "exhaust issues" here, smile, happy?

Its not us that need satisfying, so please knock it off, and stop getting so defensive. I'm sure we can appreciate different types of turbo setups, but if this is the persona you want to portray yourself as, I mean... we can all hit the "back" button and move on, ya know? Relax, people are trying to help.. some less politely than others.

Technically, the dump routing works, but would have functioned even more efficiently, if the gate outlet flange were rotated to its flange 180 degrees, pointing downward. The top of the gate would have been facing the same direction, and you would have saved even more exigent heat and used less piping to get it done. As long as you're happy with it, and won't melt your radiator, that's all that matters in the end, correct?

 

You're right that is all that matters i come of the way i do in regards to how people come off at me. Telling me to throw things in the trash is utterly disrespectful to me from the start. It works 2 ways. I'm a nice guy and can take the constructive criticism in the same way you all would want to take it. The build will have updates along the way never did i say it was done. It will have 1000cc inj, go autoworks half size rad, aem fuel pressure regulator before i even take it to tune. With that said people should just wait and stop with the nonsense comments like "550cc" won't cut it.....of-course it won't what am i retarded? 90% of the people in the u.s would never break down and rebuild their engine.
