that'd be the f23a1 or f23a4 (depending on the emissions rating)

 

I bought a kit from turbo specialties. all the charge piping fit perfect, it came with an intercooler and the manifold and turbo are actually decent. don't use the fuel management they send however, it's really mickey mouse. go with Emanage or standalone for that. any proprietary fuel management that comes with a turbo kit usually isn't the best that you could get, especially if it uses "sub" injectors. these are gay, they kinda do the trick, but they are gay and you will never be able to tune your afr properly with them. also without something like Emanage or better, you won't be able to retard your spark at all if you start to detonate as on the 6th gen accords the spark timing is impossible to retard using any mechanical means, the ecu just keeps compensating. it would be cheaper to try to peice it together without a kit, but it'll also be a little more time consuming. and the highest boost you would be really able to do on a stock motor is about 5-6 psi to be safe i've heard.

oh, and secksiman19, I did install my own kit, i also installed an H22 in my car before that and I have also installed my coilovers, done a manny swap on a 5th gen h22 swap and managed to wire up my own obd2b to obd1 conversion. i have yet to see you make a truely meaningful contribution to any topic that you are watching.

 

what's with the flaming? did seck say something wrong...... (?)

anyways... i'd agree with piecing together your own kit, that way you'd research each piece and learn what's best for you along the way. But chances are you don't feel like taking all that time, in which case there isn't a huge difference between the turbo kits out there. Personally, I'd go with an Fmax kit, only because i think their fuel management is slightly better than drag, but all of the turbo kits have shitty fuel management (generally speaking).

and on a manual, there are several people who run 10psi daily, but the higher you go the less time your engine will last. I'd go 6-8psi if it were me

I dunno, it seems to be more of a post count whoring. A lot of posts just to fill up numbers and not really contribute much can really detract from threads, watch threads that are full of vague answers, they go to **** really quick and no one gets anything out of it, i think that's what he means.

if you guys think thats the case, i want to challenge your knowledge. im not gonna turn this thread into another dramatic one, pm me if you have a problem, id love to straighten you out
my drag kit fit nicely, the charge pipes were just right, the front bumper however had to be trimmed abit. that and the shitty deltagate wastegate. everything else made for a simple install that wasnt too frustrating, was done in 2days, cuz i had to work...anyway i used an fmu for a while and it did me well...

 

i have the same question

 

then read the same responses
