I have a 94 Accord EX 2.2 SOHC Vtec.

Ok im lookin at buying a Brand New T3 Turbo, the Compressor wheel 60 trim and compressor housing is a .42 ar. It has an ucrushed 1st generation blowoff valve and side mount intercooler from a 93 gsx. The turbo is brand new with an internal waste gate and brand new gaskets and oil fittings for oil line. It includes the T fitting used in most honda motors and has two different exhaust housings for a custom application. The side mount and blowoff valve are in good condition. Now I dont know a whole lot about turbos but that was the description of it. I can get this for like $250 bucks... is it worth it? Correct me if im wrong but wouldnt the only 2 things I would have to buy would be Fuel Controller and a Turbo manifold adapting from the F22 header to the T3 flange for the Turbo? So if this is true instead of spending over $100 on a Turbo Manifold (which seem to be pretty rare for a 94 Accord) cant I just buy a T3 flange and have some one weld it onto my header?(headers which are brand new OBX headers) I need some feedback and all you turbo know-it-alls if im going to be needing other parts please let me know, maybe even an estimate cheapest it would be to get this going? I figure $200 or so on a good Fuel Conrtoller and around $50 for a flange and to get it welded.

Thanks get back at me!

well first, props for finding all of that for $250, usually for something like that you end up getting a turbo that needs a rebuild. I'm still learning about this too, but from what I know you won't be able to re-use your headers. Also, you will most likely need larger injectors, FMU, etc. Are you sure the side mount will work for your application? I looked at those for my 6thgen but there really isn't anywhere to put it under my hood

 

Nope im not sure that the side mount will fit. I found a used turbo manifold for $100 and Im sure you could find one in the calssifieds at this forum.

 

well you get what you pay for.
the chances are, ghetto hack and weld manifold would be restriction, prone to cracks. OBX is not a name brand in my book, they are same level as tenzoR and apc IMHO.

i dont know how you gonna use an adapter for it, with the turbo that low you'll have some major problem routing the IC pipes, not to mention the lag. Regular ceremic/cast iron header/manifold for NA would crack in no time. TRUST ME

you'll need a bigger fuel pump, INjectors(upgrade or extra), FPR, FPR meter, BOV(good choice with the first gen valve), o2 sensor bung, MISSING link bypass, IC piping(side mount or front) and of course i would recommend you a manifold with downpipe with the T3 flange.
