hmm, there is this kid that has one of these beauty's with a turbo setup, but does not want to pop the hood.

Is it or do they make a turbo for this car already...i'm not thinking that it is a swap, because it is still a six speed, so that rules out the h22...any information on what kind of number this kid could be possibly putting to the wheels?

 

unless its a custom job, this kid has no turbo. thats probably why he doesnt want to pop the hood.

 

I have heard that one guy did it but he has not shown any proof to it. Honda cast part of the the exhaust mani to the block or something like that so I heard that it was pretty much not possible. Unless the kid had a lot of custom motor work done

 

how old is he?? if seems like some young rich stupid punk kid he is probably lying.

if he doesn't pop the hood, then ask him to race. if he smokes you and you here a BOV then maybe he is not lying.

 

thx for what i thought was correct guys...but here's the deal...bov is there, and it's not the fake speakers thatthe ricers all have that makes the noise.

Also, he is about 28 or so, and this kid (man) did spend some serious cash in the car, because i know it was in a shop for a while and it's been know that he has not lost per his friends as yet!!!

To make it more interesting, the guys at the shop aren't fans of mine because my 2 hybrids and cousins ls/vtec has whipped all their cars except for when they spray..it's more a ricer shop that is now learning about internals.

He challenged my cousin to a highway race, but not a quarter mile race...which makes no sense if he ahs a turbo, and he knows my cousins setup. To make another twist, his turbo is useless on the highway because of traffic...unless he plans to do this at night like in the am time...i dunno.

I guess i'm trying to research about possible setups before i make my cousin go forward with anything..thx for the info guys

will let you kow details if i ever to see this kids engine bay

 

if he doesnt want people to know what's under the hood he shouldnt be blabbering about having a turbo.

race him and see what's up.

 

does he even have a front mount IC???

sounds like a liar. probably a stock v6 with spray

 

ummm...front mount cooler is there...been around long enough to check that out first...

would race him, but he won't run wothtout a large sum of $$$ on the line

 

maybe he has the front mount on but not the rest of it.

 

What color 7th Gen Coupe is he driving? I know of one in your area who has a working turbo setup on his AV6.

 

red/chrome 17's wheels

 

BTW-a highway race is not pointless for him.

High speeds are best for a boosted FWD 6-speed. He probably spins untill 4th, (if he's for real)

 

Yep...that is mrImage. Turbo was installed, I think, by Gismark. You can read the whole story on this thread. http://www.v6performance.net/f...ber=1

Look for any working guages/controllers that are involved with a FI setup.

 

i you want to race him, go to the track, stripe,etc

ask him what's using to tune that sucka

 

Here's photo of the turbo setup and of the AV6.

 

holy fuqing shyt...that is the same car..will do my reading now...thx pogidawgie

 

better hope he hasnt boosted to full boost ~ 10psi. hes looking at around 350-370whp

 

Damn...I was thinking of trading in for the TSX in three years. Now it looks like V6 coupe all over again!

What do you think? vtec.net's test drive confirms the TSX is the superior handler, while the V6 Accord Coupe rules in straight line.

I think the TSX would probably be better in city driving.

 

BTW, this kid paid $7g's for this setup.

 

If you don't intend to do any mods, I will go with the TSX but the 7th Gen AV6 has a lot of potential. AEM used my car as a prototype for the V2 and it made some 20+ HP. I'll attach the dyno.

 

0wn3d. that **** looks sick

 

highly recommend to get a open element filter like hks'
those mesh is not good to filter and i experience lag to spool for my turbo with those mesh grill

Pogidawgie, are you Filipino? Just curious.

I want your car in three years. Lol!
