what do you guy's think would be the best way to go stand alone?
i have a holley commander950...
4g dist.
vacume to digital conversion from crane.
hall effect pickup.
magnetic pickup.
so far the crane conversion has the best price, easier to install.
let me know what you guy's think!:)

Hmm... i prolly woulda just gone OBD-1 honda instead of full standalone. So let me get this straight, you have a crane digital ignition right now and a holley commander 950? What is wrong with this setup and what are you trying to achieve... i honestly dont know much about it.

89T
12-04-2005, 09:42 AM
i already have the commander,from a previos turbo project whitch didn't need anything extra to control ignition timming.

i dont know much on the crank triggers either, but i need to convert over to digital or electronic controlled dist or trigger.

i am looking to find the best possible and most reliable way to control timming.

why would you go with obd-1 vs standalone? just currious.

my goal is probbably unreasonable so i wont answer that.

AccordEpicenter

Price and driveability of going obd1 seems to be better than standalone, but with either youll get digital ignition with the distributor, but the most accurate ignitions are electronic distributorless crank trigger'd wasted spark type setups (with coilpacks instead of a distributor) which can be adapted to either setup i believe. Thats gonna take some time and money to setup. For me personally, obd1 with electronically controlled timing is more than adequate.

thank's for the info.
Afriend of mine said there was a write up "coil on plug" on honda-tech but for the life of me i couldn't find it. More searching i guess.
I would definately look at doing that.

I need to get a hand-full of other part's before i go standalone.
no time like the present to start planning.

AccordEpicenter
12-04-2005, 11:09 AM
coil on plug is real good too but ive never seen an aftermarket conversion to run it either with a stand alone or a honda ecu. Most new hondas are coil on plug too.

j/k:)

i have a standalone.

i am looking for the best way to control timming.
you know spark up a descussion.:rofl:
I know we are limmited on what we can do with our engines but I think there is more here not only for turbo guy's but the na guy's as well.

I was hopin someone would catch what i did with the link.
i dont need something to control timming..
i need the trigger.

"my goal is probbably unreasonable so i wont answer that."
400 or #2 on the list. the list does need to be updated btw....

here i did it for you.::rofl:

89T
12-06-2005, 05:05 AM
I have heard nothing but good things about neptune, with a good tuner you'r destined for good dyno numbers.

I went with holley becuase i got it fairly cheap. you know the money thing.
as for triggers i haven't decided yet.

i still need injector's, intake manifold, throttle body, vaccumme block, wide band ect.
before i install it.

Even though Neptune is cheaper isn't it olso easier to tune than the AEM EMS. I'm still stuck on which is a good way to go for my turbo setup.

Accordtheory
12-06-2005, 12:58 PM
I don't understand..89turbo'ed, you want to have Separate controllers for fuel and ignition? And you're going to have intake air and coolant temp timing and fuel compensation with that? If not, all the 'accuracy' with a crank triggered system would be totally pointless. And what about knock control, closed loop fuel control, datalogging, etc, etc? I would adapt an obd-1 factory system, or get the aem ems, which still has to be adapted.
So then its 'ostrich'+cromePRO vs hondata s300vs neptune rtp vs aem ems. All real time programmable, and probably all almost as good, I don't know. Aem is really expensive, but supposedly you can use cbr coil on plug ignition with that. There is a writeup on H-T about that.

89T
12-06-2005, 01:01 PM
dont let the price fool you...
neptune is alote easier to tune than the AEM EMS, with more funtionability.
shoot a pm over to Servion on honda-tech. He has tuned both and is a athurized dealer of neptune.

here are some of his work..

no sir i just threw that one out there...

the commander will control timming with a trigger as well the fuel as you stated.
it has data logging real time programming, the whole nine yards...
i am fixin to send it in to get the pro software and wideband installed.

with the commander i can run closed loop, open loop, alpha-n, or speed density.
I'll look for the thread on the cbr thanks.

If you have money AEM is not a bad choice and they now have a functionaly OBD-0 available. I ran my turbo B20A with a OBD-1 AEM EMS and it was great for the most part. Just check around for competent tuners in your area cause i paid big bucks to have someone travel here to help me out. Im going to still aim for 350+ WHP cause a friend has a prelude B20A putting that down so i should be able to do that with ease consider the stuff i have once i get a new turbo.

If your on a budget neptune is said to be very good but remember its only as good as the tuner. Iv seen a lot of hackers so you might have a good system but a bad tuner will turn you away from any system if not done right. Good luck with your setup hopefully i can bring a better video next summer but for now im set on buying an 06 EVO MR for a daily driver and hopefully get the accord done cause iv dragged it out way to long granted the amount of money spent on it is a rediculous amount no matter how you look at it.

Accordtheory
12-06-2005, 06:18 PM
supposedly the neptune rtp can interface with your laptop wirelessly via bluetooth, qualifying it for pimp status in my book. I also don't like hondata just on principle, I don't like their support and I'm just a counter the status quo kind of guy. They were also behind the curve with their previous systems.

As far as tuning, personally, I would Never hire anyone to tune my car. Every Single time I have Ever hired Anyone to do Anything to my car, they have fucked it up. Seriously. Shit, I just paid Rywire for my b series conversion harness, and I had to redo about half of it to get the wires where they needed to be. To me, tuning is the final aspect to the educational process, once you have selected all of your components, built the engine, wiring, mounts, turbosystem, etc. Why do we do this, modify cars? (especially an old ass car like the 3g) To be express yourself, to learn, to compete, paying someone else and giving up an opportunity to learn just isn't the same.

I agree with you AccordTheory but, the problem at least in the view that I see it is I personally don't have enough competence/confidence in myself to tune it and have it function and run correctly much less as best as it can. So I try to do everything I can but, when I come to something that I personally can't do I hire it done and try to arrange it to where I can come by and watch them work. I would love to learn how to tune a car but, I'm not sure how to. I know the "basic principles" but, I guess you could compare it to book smarts that you learn about a subject in college and then actually doing the job in the "real world". The book smarts might help you a little in your job but, you have to learn how it "really works" and that can contain some very very expensive lessons and if you don't have the money to counter the expenses you go out of buisness or lose your job.

Hopefully you can see the comparison I'm trying to draw. I just find it hard to get the "real world" experience needed to successfully tune your engine. Any guidence on that subject would be great but, for now that's my .02cents.

89T
12-06-2005, 07:26 PM
I agree with what you'r saying, but I am smart enough to know that I am not very good at tunning an ecu. So instead of guessing what i am doing I can learn from someone who tunes it for a living. I am a mechanical type person I can build or make almost anything. When it comes to something as technical as tunning a ecu, I guess you can say that i am not comfertible doing something that i dont know alot about.

thats just me.

I agree and i got the best feeling this summer taking my car to the honda-tech show in CT and just hanging around my hometown at some shops. People do a tripple take and ask "what yeah is that accord" and they're like holly crap thats a sleeper. This is one reason i never settled for any car and i honestly love the accord style and layout its almost flawless in my eyes. Iv driven many cars and for some reason id still take the accord over many other cars. As for tuning i dont feel any where near competent enough to do what has been done to my car already. The thing is when it comes to tuning and an engine i spent $15k+ its not worth blowing it up over something stupid. Granted iv had plenty of issues thus far but none tuning related that im aware of.

Robs89LXi
12-06-2005, 07:36 PM
Well, I also have the luxury of not having to use my 3G as my daily driver. It is a lot easier to experiment and take your time learning when you don't have to depend on your toy for daily transportation. Since I do though, then yes, I would much rather learn how whatever system I use works, than just blindly depending on someone else. That way, even if you get to a point where you will need help, at least you have a much better idea of what is going on. Long term, you are a lot better off as well, especially if you constantly update your car.

Fuck hondata. I think that some SDS systems are pretty good, as are megasquirt etc... i dont know much about neptune though. I prefer to run open loop all the time (and i do, lol). If your good enough a tuner, running openloop all the time can actually increase your gas mileage out of boost and simplify tuning (at least i think so)

89T
12-06-2005, 08:25 PM
tell us how you really feel. :)
i took this right out of the book.
closed loop defines the engine operation where the fueling level is calculated and corrected by the ecu from the o2 sensor.when the o2 sensor emits a voltage signal above .45 volts due to a rich mixture ,the ECU reduces the fueling level by reducing the pulse width of the injector.
open loop defines the engine operation where the fueling level is calculated by the ECU with only the input signals from the tps, coolant, and/or air charge temp,and from the map sensor.
from that i would expect increased fuel milage in closed loop during normal driving, and open loop under lead-foot conditions.

Accordtheory
12-07-2005, 05:33 PM
Some of those systems even have an 'autotune' function, you can set the a/f value to what you want, and it will figure out the pulsewidth itself. (obviously with a wideband) I think neptune has that. I guess most of those setups don't tune the ignition though.. I know of one system that used a g sensor, presumably to alter ignition timing on the fly to determine maximum brake torque like a dyno, but I don't know about that anymore. Cybernation has some interesting things out there for the k20 also. The 'guardian'

What's wrong with the s300? You just don't like the price tag?

The only reason why cars don't run in closed loop under full throttle is they don't come with a wideband o2. Some cars do now though. The most popular wideband sensor used by the aftermarket is a vw part, but you already know that..

Actually, as far as open loop all the time, I know why you said that, you just want to run at 15-15.5:1 under cruise instead of 14.7, with a little more timing. You can still do that in closed loop, you just have to set it to do that in your program with the wideband.

Now, does anyone know why running leaner than stoichiometric can give you better mpg? it's not an obvious, easy answer..

I'm telling you, guys... check out PGMFI.org. We can do anything we want with the stock Honda ECUs. You may need to use one from a Civic or Integra, but the wiring is nearly Identical. Crome Pro also has the Autotune feature, and works very well coupled with an Ostrich real-time programming/updating circuit, and a wide-band oxygen sensor meter. You can tune on a dyno, or on the street. And this stuff is all made by small companies and supported by a huge DIY community with tons of experience. Don't give your money to ZDyne, Hondata, AEM, or the like. They make plenty, and don't have the kind of support infrastructure they should.

Accordtheory
12-09-2005, 04:50 PM
I think the price goes like this: ostrich+ cromePro<neptune rtp<hondata s300<aem ems. I think for n/a, the ostrich+uberdata would be ok. I need to check up on the neptune setup though, I don't even know if it's out yet..I think it was supposed to be though..

a friend of mine just got neptuned.
he was rollin the blue box,dynoed with the blitz power meter(like the g-tech)
he had a previous best of 234hp
put the p28+neptune on a street tune and came up with 278hp on his power meter. thats 44 hp difference!
he didn't make any other changes to his car.

Why not just get the aebs? Probably just as good, like within 1hp, and about $150, instead of $230. The S2 is a 'direct bolt on', and smog legal, but not to the a20 anyway, so who cares.. But if you like the skunk2 better, go for it.

3G Jester
01-15-2006, 12:16 PM
no b series mannifold is a direct bolt on. they all need moddification.
if you wanna be that ballin and get the S2 intake manny--go for it. and as far as the carb legal thing.....yeah it may not be carb legal on the a20 but they dont know that. if forsome reason someone is looking under his hood, and htey see the sticker...chances are they will say alright. not deffinate but its a possibility.

why the aebs typhoon over the skunk2?

i figure why go in it half way when you can suprise the shit out of people when you open the hood of an old ass accord.
You for one should know the look, when you pull away!

it's just like anything else, you'r buying the name.

for those that think i am ballin; this is a hobby for me, It keep's me out of the bars, off drugs, gives me something to build (I do the fab work myself) and i would be damb'ed if i did'nt like to go fast!

you'r right the tb's arent cheap. I have 70mm from a 5.0 mustang that i'm going to try and fit. I need the intake first to see what modifications will need to be done, or if i need to make an adaptor plate.
either way i'll make it work.

I said "but not to the a20 anyway, so who cares". The aebs is not a direct bolt on to the engine it is meant for either, you still have to fuck with the vacuum lines, etc to make everything fit. The s2 fits like stock.

Accordtheory
01-20-2006, 02:26 AM
why the aebs typhoon over the skunk2?

I think the S2/oem type r/aebs manifolds are all pretty comparable, just like the victor x/bbk/revhard manifolds, or AIR/endyn/full race manifolds. The first category tries not to sacrifice mid range efficiency, the 2nd category does in favor of higher rpm power, and the 3rd category is just better engineering overall, to the tune of like 40whp over the victor x on a high boost application, with a fatter powerband too.

I would choose the aebs over the S2 because it I believe it has a larger plenum.

01-20-2006, 08:28 AM
Venom intakes are pretty sweet, but i'm sure those would need modification also. Or do they make them for the a20?

w00tw00t111
01-20-2006, 07:14 PM
Yeah deadhead venom makes intakes for the b series engines but, they're $500 bucks. Quite a bit more but, to me it seems like they're engineered very well. They've got runners going into the square/rectangle plenum w/ velocity stacks on them. It seems like they did their homework or at least they did it for the engine that the part was intended for. As for accordtheory's post I've never heard of AIR/endyn/full race manifolds where do you get those minus the full race manifolds b/c I'm assuming you mean scratch/custom built mani's but what about the AIR and endyn where can you buy those and for that matter what are good online car part sources besides inlinefour.com.

Also, what about the plan jane stock ITR manifold? Do a little clean-up port matching would that flow very well?

Accordtheory
01-21-2006, 12:39 AM
endyn worked with advanced induction research on that carbon fiber manifold, which is awesome, (well over 1k$) but is no longer available. So now endyn is offering their own fabricated manifolds. The new manifold sold by full race (around 800$, I believe) looks to me like a copy of the AIR in aluminum. I don't know about the venom, but it looks like the GE, and I don't think much of those..but if it has an aerodynamically correct transition into the runners..whatever.
I can't really see myself spending more than about $250 on an intake manifold. I'll probably either end up with the aebs again or the victor x when I get my vtec head..

I don't know, but I wouldn't bet on it..

Versanick
01-21-2006, 06:30 PM
Not exactly. Their manifolds probably will flow negligibly differently, though.

Get the BLOX. It flows with the best skunk2 has to offer. Both would be great for n/a.

Nothing will compare with Endyn's stuff, but who has that retarded kind of money? If I were rich, I'd just send the whole motor to Endyn and have them build it.

And definitely get some 4.6L and 5.0L TB's going. that's part of my project for this spring. Though I thought they were all 65mm. Both use .2-5V signal, just as Honda. "But, they wont' necessarily provide the same signal at say, half, as a honda one will, and everything will be thrown off"... If you're upgrading your TB by such a significant amount anyway, I hope you're doing something else to make sure you're running right anyway (i.e. SAFC), and I hope you find the performance benefit that you deserve for your work.

As far as vacuum, making a vacuum box is your best bet. You could buy them (expensive), or fab one. My friend is going to fab me one with 20 vacuum lines, so that I can plug all my vacuums into the vacuum box, and the vacuum blox will pull vacuum from a big tap in the BLOX.

I'm excited.

good luck with your project

i already have the ford setup... so with the stand alone i will have no voltage problems. thats with the ford tb and ford tps.
for vacume the only thing i can think of right now will be the 3 bar map sensor and master cylender.(spelling?)

i am also looking to adapt the ford eecIv dizzy on a honda but that will be in time.

Both use .2-5V signal, just as Honda. "But, they wont' necessarily provide the same signal at say, half, as a honda one will, and everything will be thrown off"...

Even if they did provide the same voltage vs throttle position, that wouldn't mean much, considering how much more air the larger tb would be flowing for that voltage output.

it should work.port matching and drilling like 2 new holes.

Accordtheory
01-21-2006, 10:32 PM
so no one knows for sure if i just have to drill new holes or what??
Of course someone knows..b16, type r, same thing. yes, you have to drill a few holes..and port match your head's intake ports to the b16/type r gasket. The a20 ports aren't as tall. Not that big of a deal, but will take most of a day to do the swap properly.

01-21-2006, 10:45 PM
well i wasnt sure if they were the same, so the si and the type r are basically the same then right?? im still learning lol

Accordtheory
01-22-2006, 01:53 PM
"basically", but the manifolds still might be slightly different. The heads might differ as far as chamber size/shape, "factory porting", undercut valve stems, and valve springs. Of course the b16 block, crank, rods and pistons are different, and the b16 block doesn't have a girdle either. I don't know if the ctr or itr heads are the same or have the b16 chambers or the gsr chambers. I want a gsr head for my engine.

I'm going standalone but i won't make my decision untill 2 more weeks. I'm still talking to this tune in NC that is a Neptune tuner/Dealer I'm also looking into the trigger crank sys. too. Only bad thing is that he is 3 hours away but it's close enough though.

Only bad thing about neptune is that there is not many tuners for it and you have to keep going back to the tuner and can't tune it yourself whichmakes you go back to the same tuner all the time.

Accordtheory
01-23-2006, 04:21 PM
neptune is Supposedly coming out with a real time system that you can learn to tune yourself. It is taking forever to come out, but looks like it be better than hondata's s300. I just downloaded the SManager for the s300, and am Not impressed with its lack of load points on the map axis for low boost levels. (like under 20 psi)

the hybrid vs a straight t3, The differance is crazy!

the hybrid was alittle laggie but when it came under full boost(@4500rpm) the car would straight come un-glue'd! the power differance was crazy.

well there isnt much to say on this mod except for it was easy and the price wasnt too bad.
i paid $125 for the machine work.
too tell you the truth i got frustrated with the honda dist..
the dist. would'nt talk to the commander.
soo i had a ford dist. sittin around it had plenty of meat on it and it looked like it would be a good match.
i went to burts machine and told them i needed the base of the ford to mirror the honda 2 days later it was a perfect match.
the old a20 fired up right off.
just think of the possibilities.....svo ecu swap. other options such as mass air and tunner software.

how do you have that lil radiator on there. and are you afraid of the support not being there because you cut that top part of the engine bay where the hood latches to?

A20A1
07-08-2006, 08:13 PM
So no DIY info on getting that dis to fit... what car is it from?


Is the clearance between the cam bearing and the distributor that tight that it doesn't need any screws to hold it in place?

89T
07-08-2006, 10:43 PM
the radiator is mounted on 3 points for now and the support isn't there because these are progressive pic's i have'nt modified and installed it yet.
by the way its a bolt on peice not a cut out peice.

a20 there is not alote to tell...this part of the project you need to take it to a machinest.
all you have to do is tell them to match the honda dist from the base out to the cam key.remove the key and mill the ford shaft to fit the key.
make sure they have the cap and rotor of both so they can clock the key correctly. pay close attention to the cam key it is slightly off center to only fit one way.
a few years ago i turbo'ed the first ford tempo with the 2.3 hsc ohv and made about 250 hp to the wheels and is still currntly the worlds fastest :LOL: . i then bought my accord and took alote of The part's i had and built a turbo accord. this dist is from a 86 ford tempo, but you can also use parts from a svo mustang, hsc mustang,thunderbird turbo coupe and a ranger.
i am not good at write up's so i hope this will do.

i am using the holley commander 950 standalone and yea i had to make a harness for the altonator and starter wire.
I am guessing that what you are asking me is if i am using a ford ecu, no.
but it isn't that hard to pull a ecu and harness from a ford and adapt it to the honda.

It's no where near stock. the bottom end is fully built.
fully ballanced with eagle H beams, je pistons,ect.
as far as leakdown she was under 4% accross the board.
the thing is that we were tunning @ 8#'s on the street then next week we were going to dyno tune and raise the boost till we hit the 400hp mark.

pretty much it has been labeled as a racing engine so it's as is no warranty.

are you using main studs and what headgasket are you using? Im going for big boost on stock compression with big head/intake work...

for the time being i am only using new stock bolts and felpro head gaskets until it's fully tuned. I'd rather blow a head gasket then incinerate the pistons.
I am not going to run past 14#'s(well i'll try not to) till i get my spare head done and then i'll go copper w/arp's and 25-30#'s. Right now this head is my weakest link.
I am trying to go in stages if that makes any sense.

let me know what you find for good head parts....

shep...
start buying part's now....
the good stuff isn't cheap,and you'll actually spend alot on the little stuff.
I got some more pic's today well see if they will post.

I'll tell you straight up this manifold isn't my best work but it was done quick and cheap. $70 in part's and 3 hours time

sooner or later it will go on the for sale section after i build a fully tuned top mount.

thanks for the pictures.
when you get ready to sell the manifold, let me know. I am interested.
I don't know about your but if you are saying that all it took you 3 hours and $70 worth of materials, you may want to tink about making them for extra money. I am sure you can sell them for $300-350 no problem.

How much would you charge to make one if i supply all the parts and pay for all the shipping?

untill i find the time to srew with a dieing computer the vid wont be up soon.
as for manifolds....
i'll have to check on prices again... bends.
i'll have to order header flanges and t/3 flanges or what ever flange for the turbo you were going to use.
another question would be what wastegate flange if any?
if you all are interested.
the manifold on the pic is just something i threw together with bends and scrap steel.
if i was to sell and item like this it would have to look alittle more profesional
and would be more than $200.
I try not to do anything for under $40 an hour.
i'll start pricing everything tommarrow.
the maniflod on my car will be going up soon and i'll take 200+shipping.

as for orders i'll take 1 at a time when i deside to start production. consider it a waiting list. I will not ask for money till i am ready to ship.when i ship i prefer paypal, money order,western union.

damb it sounds like i am committing.
alote of it is how much time i have giving that i work 10-12 hour days in construction.

should i start a feeler thread?

Im gonna have to see, i was thinking about using an SC61 but idk. How did the 62-1 spool? Im guessing .63 housing and stage 3 turbine? or maybe stage 5?

89T
09-26-2006, 03:47 AM
i noticed a large decrease in bottom end power with the .63 stage 3.
the car wasn't as violent as it was with the .48...
there was a noticeable increse on the top end but then you run out of rpm.
the powerband with the 62-1 was too narrow, unless you feel comfertible reving to 9 grand.

AccordEpicenter
09-26-2006, 04:24 PM
im gonna try a .63 stage 1 and see where it chokes the motor off (my guess is 350whp?) then ill try a stage 2 or 3. What rpm was the .63 stage 3 fully boosted by? Did you run that on the 60-1 and the 62-1? Im sure my (secret spec) compressor housing will flow over a 60-1

I would try a stage 2 unless you fab up a tuned manifold.
i may go ahead and keep the stage 3 but tune the manifold around 3500 rpm.
the 62-1 spooles at about 4000-4200 rpm.

isnt the t3/t04e 62-1 stage 3 rated at 700 hp?
my guess with the stage 1 it will run out at 400-425 at high boost.

one other thing about the 62-1...it comes alive past 14lbs.

manifolds....
i am looking around town for decently priced flanges, but if not i can make them.

Hmm i was thinking about using an SC61 precision turbo but the turbine sizes on them are HUGE. 4000-4200 isnt too bad, my .63 stage 1 was fully boosted by 4k ish. Im going for big power here, so 4000-4200 will work fine.

10-28-2006, 07:19 PM
I am still waiting on the flanges,the guy doing them went to kans for a pinks episode.
but hopefully he'll get them done soon.

to start with i will build 1 log manifold to guage interest, and a tunned long tube manifold for me.

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2/e41cq4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

i priced everything for this manifold and damb!! thats why they want $650 for them.... I am thinking i can do them alote cheaper depending on the time it takes to build one.. have to build 1 first then make a jig.

this manifold will have to have the following mods for it to work.
power steering pump removal.
ac pump removal and supporting parts.
civic half size radiator.
slim rad fan.

if you are interested in this manifold the removals and extra parts shouldnt be a problem for you.

as for the log manifold goes, i have seen all the pics faq page and you have seen mine.

where will be the best place for the exhaust flange?
keep in mind radiant heat from the turbo.....

I have not made a formal thread yet because of flange availibility...
If i like these flanges that are getting water jetted i will then order a bunch of them and get rolling.

all the pipe and bends will be made of sch 40 316 stainless steel.
please dont clutter this thread with sensless b/s please.

we know that you can modify the ford dizzy to fit a a20..... I can vouch for that one...

now lets say you take the ecu, harness, and all the sensors from a 85-88 thunderbird turbo coupe and install them in to a accord.(88 uses maf sensor)
you'd be able to boost up to 20 lbs with out any extra tunning. no btm noting but the ecu.
course you'll still have to upgrade all the supporting mods for a turbo car.
the ford ecu also uses low impeadance peak and hold injectors.

there are tunning options such as the eecIV tunner.

Do you guy's think i am way off base here or is there something there..

First thing that comes to mind is firing order, but that can be reset via software or hardwiring via dizzy.

I know it can be done, just like any other given standalone and ECU hack. Didn't Sean use GM parts?

I think this is a hell of a lot more economical and straightforward then most setups though. Ford parts are hella cheap, especially from the JY. The MAF makes tuning a little easier. This might be one step forward from OBD1 conversion as well. ;)

yea sean used gm parts, the only differance is you can find the ford parts easier, and like you said alote cheaper.

firing order is easy to get around...all you have to do is switch plug wires around.

i was reading on turboford.org that they were doing DIS setup's also. If that is not a huge step in the right direction I dont know what is!

the mustang SVO has the same motor as the thunderbird.

i knew the torque #"S were going to be pritty high judging from the time slips i got earlier in the year. I was hoping for better hp #'s but i guess this will do.
I still need to simplify the ignition system, upgrade it were possible.pull the btm i think it is killing me on the upper end.(the reason for the drop off at 5800 rpm.)
as for boost yes after i build a tunned manifold, ignition mods,copper head gasket ,arp's,and possibly built head and custom turbo cam.
I am also looking into ways to reduce crank case and valve train pressure.
i know i can use the exhaust to pull vacume, or use a vacume pump but i am undecided.
If i get that figured out i will try to tune it to 18lbs and hope she holds up.

what do you have for management?
I would like to know how they tunned it.
very nice numbers i like them a lot. good job.
I am running the holley commander950 standalone with a modified ford distributer.
this dyno is totaly different from a standard dynojet. This dyno you can tune at 30 40 50 60 70 80 mph... basicly you set a speed at say 40mph and you can tune partial throttle, mid throttle, and full throttle.. the dyno wont let the wheel's travel any faster than what you set it at. also as you change mph you also move up or down in the rpm range. This thing is bad ass.
on a dynojet you make a pull stop and tune off a graph and hope you fixed an issue then make another run to see if you fixed it then tune it again if needed...and so on.
and thanks.

awesome numbers man? shoot me an email ([email protected]) with alllllll the details on your build and i will put up a web page for it.
i'll get it to you soon.
I appreciate it.

Ummm.... Wow!! .... That power and torque curve is wicked. That thing must be awesome to drive, damn.
It's a handfull! Literally!
the tourque steer is crazy.

I think I'm more impressed with the torque curve than I am the peak HP. =)
That just shows how the A20's head flows though.
What is that, ~233ftlbs @ 4600RPM? Almost twice as much with an average amount of boost
yea i was hoping for at least 280 on hp,but those are the card's i got. not a bad deal though.
yup i need head work.
acctually the peak hp and peak tourque were almost exactly 10 off.
so that would mean 224 peak tourque.
that would explain the 1.7sec 60' times "torque".and a 14.2 at 85 mph verses 103-105 for the avarage low 14 sec run.

do i run it and run the risk of blowing it on the track?

or do i wait and get another and rebuild it?

does it grind? Metal flakes are usually just syncro material, nothing fatal nessescerily. Just take 2 hands and put them on your inner cv joins and push them up and down, if they have alot of play in them your diff bearings are going out, but unless your diff bearings are going out or your tranny grinds, i would just leave the trans, its probably fine. My tranny was beat to shit and i only changed it because its missing an ear off the bottom case and there area about 12 stripped bolt holes on it (for real)

Just take 2 hands and put them on your inner cv joins and push them up and down, if they have alot of play in them your diff bearings are going out, but unless your diff bearings are going out or your tranny grinds, i would just leave the trans, its probably fine. My tranny was beat to shit and i only changed it because its missing an ear off the bottom case and there area about 12 stripped bolt holes on it (for real)
2nd gear is getting hard to get into on a hard pull. no real grinding but it wont go in sometimes. i'll check the diff tommarrow night, today is family day.
thanks for the advice.

get a bad ass rebuild tranny...with carb gears
i will admit that the trans is my weakness. so where would i need to go to get a bad ass rebuild?
i thought the teg swap was the way to go?
whitch trans is it any way. the d16zc or the b18a?

short gears are for NA cars. the carb gears are the longest gears so the turbo spools up and you dont run out of RPM.

and yeah the 1st gen teg gears fit our trans..but i would not recomend it...ive been in Openloops car with teg gears...you are doing like 60mph@3000rpm in 5th gear.

im gonna say teg gears are a no no on a boosted accord, they will be wayyy short. If youre na they might do the trick but in reality, any carb or fi accord trans should do the trick. A lude SI tranny might not be that bad either, because 3rd 4th and 5th are a little shorter. Right now im running a carbed trans, and it has slightly longer gears than my old lxi trans, so 1st gear/2nd gear are more useable.

EDIT: Sloppy shifter bushings can make it hard to find gears somtimes also

Prelude Transmission on Accord (+gear ratio)
You can use the gen2 prelude (84-87) transmission on your Accord
It has a more performance oriented gear ratio (the higher the number, the shorter the gear)
However, if you use the transmission from a 1.8L engine, you will need to change the flyhweel, pressure plate and the clutch since they are smaller. If you're affraid about the clutch not being strong enough, replace it with a performance clutch and it will hold more than you need to. The 1.8L flywheel is also lighter.
'85 Lude (carb):
1- 3.181
2- 1.944
3- 1.250
4- 0.933
5- 0.757
FD 4.071 (86-87 carb FD is 3.875)
Si Lude:
1- 3.181
2- 1.842
3- 1.250
4- 0.937
5- 0.771
FD 4.066
88 LXi:
1- 3.181
2- 1.842
3- 1.208
4- 0.878
5- 0.694
FD 4.066 (including all autos)
carb manual FD is 3.866
Thanks to Night for this information.
when i swapped to a manual i used the 88 lxi trans because of this thread.
so what i am getting at is i need the 85 lude (carb)?

EricW
03-18-2007, 07:27 PM
The longest gears are in the 86-87 carbs (dx,lx) because the final drive is smaller.

86-89 carbed trans are all the same so far as i know... You dont want to use an 85 lude carb tranny it wont work

Hi 89turbo'ed I'm noob, I mean, new to the site. Just read the post, and it is very incouraging. I have an '87 lude si and am in the process of turbo charging. My head is P&P, intake is port matched, and I'm running MegaSquirt. The only issue I have is ignition timing control. I could go with a BTM, but if I can use MS to control the ignition I would like to. My question is, how good do you feel about the amount of timing control you get with the '86 Tempo dizzy? The mod seems simple enough, take both dizzys to a machine shop and tell them make this one like that one. If it is effective I may try it. After all it would be more simple than what I was going to atempt, which is setup the motor to run GM DIS ignition. Again props on the thread.

the GM DIS setup has also been done on an A20 but it required the use of a custom made crank trigger. Its probably the most accurate ignition ive seen yet for this motor but as long as you get rid of the stock vacuum advance dizzy when you go turbo and go to some kind computer controlled ignition you should be fine. Ive used the BTM and it does work but i would like to have more control over timing if i was gonna run more than like 12psi or so, its kind of a ballpark device

hey mike the ease of instillation on the ford eec-IV dizz is A+++++!
i messed around with a hand full of honda dizzy's and i have came to the conclusion that they are a pain in the ass.

i am not real familliar with the megasquirt management, but i can lead you in the right direction to use the ford dizzy with that management.
go to this site www.turboford.org (http://www.turboford.org) there are a bunch of people using megasquirt.

note the came key only goes one direction.........
good luck with you'r build.

ooh the amount of timing control excelent.

....Ive used the BTM and it does work but i would like to have more control over timing if i was gonna run more than like 12psi or so, its kind of a ballpark device.....

I plan on running 10 to 12 psi. I'll be using a small T3 (.42/.48) compressor which is only good for about 15 psi before it runs out of breath. The reason I don't want to use a BTM is because it is a "ballpark" form of control, not to menton the price tag that is attahced to it. Money wouldn't be an issue if it was dead on accurate. I just can't see spending the amount of money I have, and will, spend on this build just to have the motor blow and need to be rebuilt. All because of an inaccurate tune.

Can you point me to who has done a GM DIS mod?

I've been reading about people trying to fit F22 dizzys, but that seems like a major bitch to accomplish. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. If the ford dizzy works as well as DIS or EDIS I may use it. Then people who know honda motors will be like WTF, like I was when I saw the pics you posted of yours. Nice work.

i am looking into the dis ignition systems right now using a cam trigger.
may be in the near future i'll have part's list,or even sell kits.
i have spent alote of time and money, i hope someone can benifit from it.

Keep me posted. I like to benifit from other peoples experience whenever possable. If you go the cam trigger rought you might need to do a little research at the MS website. I believe I read there that you need to use two rings and triggers, because of the difference in RPM between the cam and crank. I could be wrong, but I belive that's what they said. Which is the reason I decided against putting the sensor on the cam instead of the crank.

thumbs up on the wheel/tire combo. Ill have to check that out, for real. And mikes87lude, if youre running higher than 10-12psi boost in the long run, id highly reccomend upgrading to at least a t3 60/63, that 42/48 is a little on the small size for mid-high boost

89T
07-21-2007, 03:23 AM
thanks bro. i think i'll have to put in 20mm or 25mm spacer's on the wheels, and lift the car alittle bit to make sure that the tire wont hit the upper control arm when the tires expand.

the turbo i have on is the 62-1,but i changed the exhaust wheel and housing to a 48 for a quicker spool.

worse comes to worse i'll put the stage III wheel and 63ar housing back in.
the original 62-1 doesent get into it's efficiancy till 14.5psi, and it seem's the turbo isn't even breaking a sweat at 13.8psi with the 48ar housing and wheel.
with the combonation i am running right now i should be able to hit the 400-450 mark without exceeding 20-25psi. i guess the dyno will tell all.

On a off note. i still need to hit the j/y for a trans i might be able to pick you up a crank if you still need one.lmk

well alittle update ....
as you all know i was having tranny and clutch problems.

i picked up an aluminum flywheel, clutch net 6 puck with presure plate,and a pg lsd from mcfly.

bullard123 helped out with his old a20 tranny.

thanks guy's!

as of last night the clutch and flywheel are in and the tranny is tore down,and almost ready for the lsd.

after alittle cleanup tonight the lsd is going in and the tranny will be put back together.

next week i am going to try and get on the dyno and see the differance in tq/hp with the lighter flywheel and tune in the cam gear.

89T
08-26-2007, 06:10 PM
omfg! i am glad i put the power steering back in.
I got the clutch,flywheel, Phantom grip and trans installed yestrday . you wouldent belive the differance. the car doesnt sling you'r arm from side to side anymore . it pull's straight. It revs like 3 times faster then before and seems to put you in the seat even more than before.
the clutch has a violent engagement but it no longer slips under full boost. The other thing i noticed was it is harder to steer with the lsd.

i can post some pics if anyone is interested.
