so i finally got my turbo for my 92 accord sedan dx. i got the whole thing for 4 grand. i was originally going to rebuild my f22a1 and then turbo the bitch but i couldn't pass up the offer. i got a jdm h22 engine with less than 25,000 miles and a full turbo kit. t3/t4 50 trim with turbo manifold, big *** intercooler, the whole deal. all of it for 4,050 dollars. good deal right? all i need is my fuel management system which i just paid for and should be getting next week. the guy hooked me up with labor for only 650 dollars. which includes the swap and turbo kit, all in all not bad, i think. aiming for over 350whp at about 16 pounds, but won't run it at 16 on the streets cause it's not fully built.

what turbo timer are you guys running if any?


.......my old account said i was banned? no idea why..hadn't logged in in over two months, do you guys have any ideas why this happened. and no i didn't post anything offensive.

 

good deal, only if the motor is running strong and turbo spins freely.

don't worry about turbo timer, pour MONEY into tuning.

16psi on stock h22 block will not last more than a week, unless you live in southpole. don't go over 10psi, someone i know blew the h on dyno, it was sad because he just did internal built


apexi timer=good/cheap, but again, it really doesn't matter


good luck and don't get banned again

 

after researching more i have decided that im only going to run 10psi. i was thinking running 16psi on track days and only track days. yes it's a stock block but i have a friend who is running 17 pounds on track days on a stock block b series. but on second thought im pretty sure im only going with 10 pounds. engine and turbo go in at the end of next week.

i was wondering, since i pretty much spent all of my money on this build, can i run on a stock exhaust system, yes im going to upgrade but for the next two weeks i can't. so can i run on a stock exhaust for now? what would you guys recommend for exhaust, i want something with a deep tone and as close to stock sounding as possible, i hate loud exhausts and would not like one on my car.

I like Thermal R&D for turbo exhaust. Not too loud. GReddy EVO would be a good option as well.

firstly b series engines are actaully good motors.. h series are not thats why he can run 17 pounds..

if i were you i would run a stright pipe from turbo back and dump before the rear wheels.. your setup will really benefit from no restriction..

stock will hold your motor back.. but on the bright side you wont have that annoying ricer tone when you drive around..

do either a stright pipe with no restriction or leave it stock.. but whatever you do dont get a fart bomb muffler.. not even apexi.. or whatever.. they all sound like a sewing machine.

 

yeah im sure my motor will lose some horsepower from keeping the stock exhaust, but in about a month or so i am going to upgrade my exhaust. wouldn't i gain more hp becuase the engine is turbo'd over a stock h22 motor if i were to upgrade the exhaust?

 

yes for sure.. exhuast is critical pretty much to any turbo application.. 2.5 should do.. or you can overkill it with 3 inch pipe. whatever floats your boat.. i would probally say 3 inch would be best.

 

i think the three inch piping would give me the best results as far as power but then again i don't want my car to be loud as hell, i got a friend who has a rsx-s and his exhaust is exactly what i want. thing is he got it from the dealer like that and doesn't know what kind it is, although the tip is like 5.5 inches big, but quiet as hell. under 4k rpms you wouldn't know it has a modified exhaust, but after 6k when the v-tec kicks in that **** just rips. but it sounds really nice though, not ricey at all. anybody know what kind of exhaust this might be?

Who IS this guy? Please stop posting as it is obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about. A B series is actually a good motor and an H isn't? And an Apexi exhaust sounds like a sewing machine? You are so totally lost.

 

would you mind posting some helpful info if you have any, not trying to be an ***.

 

Okay, to start neither the B or H series is going to last very long on 17 psi with the stock internals, no matter how good the tune.

Second, the B and H series are both great designs but due to their high compression neither are really set up properly for high boost.

The one disadvantage the H series may have is the FRM sleeves. They don't cater too well to aftermarket pistons. And as you know the easiest way to achieve lower compression is with a piston with a head made for lower compression. And of course we all know that for high boost you will definitely want to lower the compression. BUT to do so on the H you will have to sleeve the block to get rid of those FRM stock sleeves.

It's time to use the search button.

 

i was well aware of my engine not lasting long if i ran 17 pounds but i wanted to try it at least once when at the track. about sleeving the block, that is one of the reasons i thought about not taking the h setup, because i know my f22a1 has a lower compression and was probably the better bet for boosting. f22's compression is like 8.6:1 vs. the h's 10.1:1, something like that, don't take my word on those numbers, but you get the point. but for so cheap there was no way i could pass up the offer. everything is good quality, the guy i got them from is a really good friend and hooked it up.

eventually i will run 20+ pounds on a fully built engine.

 

I still say f22 with a junk yard turbo setup its a much better investment then a h22

 

Well, there you go. You already know the basics so avoid this spread of misinformation. And to tell you the truth if I were you I wouldn't even go 17 pounds one time at the track. Because to do so properly would mean you would have to have a proper tune for 17 pounds. That means you would have to run it long enough for a few dyno runs and I'm telling you that at the stock compression on the H with 17 pounds I would not trust the sleeves for even one dyno run. Not to mention the piston rings would probably take a big crap also.

Seriously, you got a good deal so don't ruin a good thing by blowing it up for one night of fun.

 

actually im going to run 20 pounds, 20 pounds you ask? well my friend is so badass he hooked me up with a built engine, one that will be able to handle the abuse of the t3/t4 turbo. he just told me that the engine comes with JE pistons and the whole deal. crankshaft, rods and **** like that.

what about running on a stock exhaust for now, anyone have any experiences with a turbo car running a stock exhaust, how is it? and any more suggestions on what exhaust to get, something quiet, really quiet.

 

Well, it will seriously be choked but should still run. You may have problems with surge and god knows what else though.

 

Sounds like you have some really good friends, jeez, built motors, turbo kits and h22 swaps for 4 grand....nice.

When you do roll around to getting a new exaust the Apexi world sport and the RSR are both supposed to decent quieter exausts for a turbo car.
