Default Turbo a non turbo

Someone told me it is not good to turbo a non turbo car. That it can cause alot of problems and such. Thats its just much easier to have or buy an already turbo car and upgrade it and you wont have as many problems. If thats not not true which turbo is better for the 95 accord the Greddy or the Drag. Im not even sure If they make a greddy turbo for my car. Oh yeah I did search for this so dont kill me please.

dude.....ive been seein that u post alot of ?s about how to make you accord some high pef. street machine....heres a word of advice, im not expert myself when it comes to cars....but quit dreaming of having some beast of an accord. my ? to us is, why do u want such a fast car, since u know so little to begin with, u have no busness trying to drive something so fast....if u dont know enough about what u want, u have no reason to want it....but thats jst IMO.....i wouldnt turbo an accord....you need to build up the block if u wanna run over 7-8psi on an F22, and thats pushing it....if ur despertly needing something fast, look at eclipse turbo, supra turbo, or rx7 FC/FD

stock F series block can hold more than 6-7 psi daily driven and it has been proven. Search for an HT member by the name of neidejb(spelling?). Most of the time weaksouce noobs try and tune their cars and blow their ****. I do agree that Accords arent fast straight line cars but then can be made to be quite the autocross monsters.

There has been a rash of noobs on every site ive been too, so my advice is: the search function is your best friend, so utilize to your advantage.

Lol....sorry, but I had to drive around one of those crap piles for a while....nothing like the grunt of a 150HP 302ci V8 that gets about 15mpg. Even built, those were crap.....

Anyway, I would agree with above. If all you want is something reasonably fast then why stick with the Accord? You could easily start with a turbo but that could easily cost you upwards of $3000 installed. And what would you get? Maybe 200hp, if youre lucky. Why not sped that $3000 on a early 90's 2wd Talon or Eclipse? You got 215 HP right off the bat then and with a little work to the turbo, wg, bov, and intercooler you can easily push 275hp.

UMMMM F22 at 6 psi makes 197 whp un tuned as i do belive, but it varies on setups. Whitecord did a setup for no more than a grand and his runs nicley.


As for the DSM route he would wont a 1G TSI. AWD but they break due to age and lots of abuse. He would also need a new clutch if he wanted to do anything faster than mid 14's.

Thats the stupidest thing i ever heard I think they come stock with like 225 HP at least. The 87 Gt I had about 300 Hp. You got ripped godsmack with the 150 HP.

WTF... Did I read this correctly? Dude sell your car and buy something already fast because you will definitely blow your car up if you turbo it with the knowledge that you have.

Well I heard the accord 4 cyl are better than the 6 cyl. I know they have more HP but you can get more aftermarket parts for the 4 cyl. But if its better to modify a v6 and there a heavier motor. Then Im wrong and I will get a nissan 300zx twin turbo and quit messing with 4 cyl

I think you have said something about getting a different car every post, I think you need to research which car you like and see what mods are available, anything can be fast with enough money (pinto with 20K will be fast) so please research on what you want and if you already have an accord, its gonna cost a little bit to make it faster, honda's are good reliable cars that have awesome engines chassis bodies etc....plus majority of the parts are interchangable. Please make up your mind, it will save you sanity in the long run.

Yeah well I actually have asked what car would be easy to mod a few times. Maybe I mean I plan on having the next car I get for a while. I have had the accord and put alot of money in it already. I want to know a car that I can get and spend like 10,000 on and be pushing 400 Hp. Im sure I could do that with an eclipse gst, or gsx but I love honda. I was just trying to find some honda member with the same idea that has basically already succeeded. Where I have not started because I dont want to start money in something and find out it has limits.

I understand the want for high hp but the only way your going to get 400 whp out of a honda is some crazy tuning and motor building and its gonna cost you probably more than 10K. And not to be an *** but what would you want to do something some else has already done...break that mold. My car is pretty much stock because I don't want to throw money at it yet, all I am saying is get an idea and run with it, explore the possibilities and for God sake man...use spell check.

Well when it comes to pwr I want to know how it was done. I mean its just to produce pwr. Im not trying to copy someones body style. Or the same wheels or the color. But if I have to get some advice and follow someones guidlines to be able to produce alot of Hp than so be it. The Dsm tuners have different stages to get there cars to certain Hp I wish we did. I mean If Im copying someone buy asking how to get a certain amount of Hp so is everyone else with a turbo,cams,and nos.

Default Re: Turbo a non turbo (VRDrvr)

first thing u need to do is not listen to these noobs that are telling u not to boost...i have 177k miles on my f22b1 and run 5psi daily un tuned with a vafc....i did everything for a little under 1k and i am only 17 so if u are willing to learn and do some research then u could have a nice set up going on.

i will say that my car is no rocket but it is a lot faster than it was stock....(14sec)


turboing the f22 is a far better investment than a h22 or h23 by far.... so do some research and start collecting parts and turbo that thing
