Turbo Accord Project Plans
Alright all I'm looking for here is an opinion on if I'm heading in the right direction with how I want to set up my car. It's a 98 coupe, auto, F23A1 4cyl vtec just hit 45k miles. The only thing I'm not too sure about is what size spring to use. like .50 trim, .60 trim...?? Also...am i gonna need injectors? I already have DC Headers, AEM CAI, and Magnaflow Exhaust.

Yeah your gonna need injectors and I am not sure what your refering to for the spring... but if you mean the wastegate spring most start at .45 bar. If your speaking of turbo trim and what not... .63, .70, etc is a sizing reference.
I am almost done with my accord too... she is coming apart for the install this weekend.
I got a similar setup with some minor differences... minus all the appearance crap.
I am going to be running and what parts I have so far:
-t3/ 60-1
-custom drag style manifold
-tial 35mm wastegate
-blitz blow off
-custom spearco cooler (29X11X3)
-custom charge piping and oil lines
-vafc (hack)
-440cc injectors
-255 lph hp walbro
-still to be done is custom downpipe/ flex pipe and test pipe to link to the catback exhaust
I would research the UR ss pulleys before installing them, esp. the crank pulley in specific.

I suggest going with a T04E-50 Trim compressor with a .63A/R turbine and Stage 3 wheel. Your list looks pretty good, but you'll need to add a few things to the fuel system to be able to handle the extra reqirenments by the turbo. I recommend getting a V-AFC with 440cc saturated injectors or DSM 450cc injectors.
OK, looks pretty good, except for a couple things.
Like they said, you'll want some bigger injectors, and I would go ahead and get a bigger fuel pump while your at it. you can get a good Walbro for aroung $100, total.
Now the biggest thing, your transmission. if your wanting to run HIGH #'s, your gonna have to beef it up a bit. Dont get me wrong, the f-series A/T's will spin pretty dang good, but I suggest getting either the Protech or Level10 rebuild kit.
They both run around $300+install, unless you can do it yourself.

Hey thanks for the advice guys. I have a better idea now of what I'm gettin into but hey...it'll be fun, right? Oh yea...screw the crank pulley I'm just goin w/ the alt and ps pulleys. Don't wanna mess w/ that crap.
I have some brand new drag piping comes with everything including the fittings its chrome piping and never has been installed. I have an fmax manifold and found that i can't use drag piping on an fmax manifold because the turbo location will not be the same. If your interested let me know.
Thanks,
Tom
