hey guys, i have an 97 accord with the drag gen 3 kit on there. i blew the motor and i have a h23 waiting to be dropped in. I was just wondering where i can get a manifold for the h23 and will everything else fit in properly. any suggestions?

 

this is OT: but how did you blow it? not enough fuel? too much boost for stock internals? did you have a f22b1(ex) or f22b2(lx)? how much boost where you running?

 

shot in the dark but you could use the DSM manifold, but i have no idea how or if it will bolt to the rest of the system.

 

the wasted gate got damaged and a boost gauge was not installed. afte rhte boost gauge was installed, it showed 22lbs of boost with stock internals so yea.......

 

Kind of off the subject:

How was the fitting quality as in piping and turbo for the Gen 3 Kit for the Accord? I heard that it was crap, because I was working on my freinds ITR with the Gen 3 kit and I was just shocked in how poorly it was designed in the way alot of things did not fit right. I have heard that the Gen 4 kit, has made big improvements in fitting quality wise.

Sorry to hear that you blew your motor, wouldn't you have known that you were boosting more than what you planned on? 22lbs is quite alot and a huge difference to be noticeable.

 

dang man blew your engine already??? it's been only a couple months!

 

Hey, sorry about your current situation. But how was that baby moving? Did it run for long?

f-max, drag, revhard, sfp, tps, etc... all make them for h23

 

as far as other fitment issues...

the turbo manifold flange needs to be the same size, t3 asuming, as the turbo. if it is internal gate or external wastegate... order accordingly. try to match the dp size to the one you have or want also.

 

yea it was running pretty quick hehe....i only had it on for about 2 weeks. im still trying to find someone who will sell me the manifold as many of hte distributors only sell it with the kit for the accord and preludes.
