question i was gonna ask myself.

 

$3600 for the FMAX kit. Comes with everything youll need.

I chose to upgrade a few portions of it, but glad I didnt go DIY on all the piping....what a pain that'd be.

 

Lets see, i am budgetting roughly US$4700 for my install. Thats a custom kit including a standalone ECU and things such as cooler piping, manifold and exhaust custom made.

It would cost me more than that to get a FMAX kit here

 

hey poid, aren't u from australia?? i've seen ur nick in performance forums.
wat u got in ur accord?

 

Yeps i am from Australia

Nothing in it yet, its just lowered + rims at the moment. Building up the parts for the turbo kit which will go in sometime this year. I'm hoping for it to be done mid-year but other financial commitments keep getting in the way.

I havent heard of any turbo accords going around down here yet so should be something different!

 

if you're not in a hurry...you can put together a custom one for less than most kits available...my friend put together a custom kit for about 2 G's...it was for a civic with a 2.0 VTEC. it had a turbo xs intercooler (24x11x3 core, i think), a revhard manifold, t3/t4 with a .60 ar, tial 35mm wastegate, custom intercooler pipes, greddy type-s bov, 65# injectors, custom 3 in. mandrel bent exhaust piping and downpipe. i dont know where he got the parts but he found them at good deals. took him like 7 months to get the turbo kit pieced together but its a pretty good kit for the price he paid...some people say parts for the b series are cheaper but i think the only difference would be the extra money in the manifold...piping and the turbine would be about the same....as for fuel management for the tuning part...he's a hondata tuner and already had the hondata setup before the turbo so i didnt count that into the price of the turbo but if you want to include it...its still cheaper than most premade kits that are available.

 

i might be selling my drag 4 manifold in 5 months or so... if you can wait that long..

 

Well, im putting out around 4 grand and i am having my kit custum made. The kit includes 2.5 inch stainless up, down, and charge piping, FMU, TCM, BOV, waistgate, Garett TO4E turbo, full exaust, and the header doesnt even get touched. As for regrets, ill find out by the end of this week, but im doubting it.

 

thats good to hear. Keep me up with ur progress man, its hard to find anyone in Aus thats interested in accords. Up here in Brissie theres only 2 accords with h22a's (mine and a mates 4th and 5th gen).

 

Damn right its hard, but i like it that way. Means our cars dont get too common

Here in canberra there's my accord and a green one that are dumped with nice wheels, and a couple others that are sorta half dumped with either stockies or cheapies. Thats it as far as modded accords go, not even one with a H22 conversion as far as i know!

When its done i'll post some dyno results here and my first impressions. Will take me a few months to piece together the rest of the parts though (i only have the turbo and IC at this stage)
