Turbo 3G role call... Paging turbo'ed guys

[AccordEpicenter]

Ok guys if you currently have a turboed 3G or are nearing completion of a 3G turbo build, post up. Im curious as to whos still going with their cars. Some of you guys remember my Topmount manifold build with the SC6152S and built motor... Well ive currently kicked into high gear in order to make progress and get it done and running. Soo far the build consists of:

Topmount manifold w/Precision SC6152S (630hp+ capable)
Tial 38mm ext wg
3" downpipe to stock exhaust with 3" E cutout
2.5" Charge piping
AEBS Polished B16A/B18C5 Intake Manifold with ITR Throttle body
1g DSM BOV
Solid motor mounts
OBD1 conversion with adapter kit
3 Bar map sensor
3 row halfsize civic type radiator with slimfan
880cc Precision turbo injectors
255lph walbro intank fuelpump
JRC 8" FMIC
Adjustable Cam Gear
Race ported head with SI industries valves/springs/retainers
Stock head gasket
ARP Head studs
Eagle H Beam Rods
Diamond forged pistons
Toga Hi Volume oil pump
Tuner Toys Stainless braided oil lines and fittings
No AC or PS
Clutchnet 6 puck sprung clutch kit with double spring steel pp
Methanol injection kit

Currently im finishing the charge piping, fmic and radiator mounts, next i have to finish the obd1 conversion and do the finishing touches (battery relocation and painting brackets etc) and its nearly finished!!

Post up, im curious to see who still has turbo builds and who is still running turboed accords.

Soo far:

Tdurr
Rendon
89T
bobafett
Guyanabo 89?
lui0046
I know there are more...

[89T]

there is a new guy, but he is shy lol!
no build thread or pic's.......so it could be bs!
he's pm'd me a few times to help set up his safc.

[AccordEpicenter]

me too but i cant remember how i had it set up haha... same for the BTM...

[Tdurr]

wut do u need to know? lol. just rolled over 2,200miles on boost today.

[charliekuney]

mykwikcoupe has one that's going to be mine soon. So does this cool kid AccordEpicenter, if you didn't know.

[bobafett]

Whatsup man! I am still not done I need some more fab work, but it's SO FUCKING CLOSE! Literally need the exhaust system from the head back to the muffler completed, but other than that and tapping the oil pan I have literally everything I need. But I am taking my time and going to hopefully build a bitchin manifold that will allow me to retain the stock crossmember and not have to hack shit up too much.

Glad to see you are still with it. I'll keep you in the loop when I have some interesting updates. :D If you haven't been keeping up on my car there are a few new pics in the build thread since the last time I remember seeing you on here.

Rendon is definitely kicking ass though, he is really moving right along and making some killer progress fast!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Damn you guys are tempting me... after being in so many boosted cars lately I am really toying with the idea of ditching my b-swap parts and going boosted a20.

[89T]

me too but i cant remember how i had it set up haha... same for the BTM...
so where's the pic's bro?
It's hard to nominate someone for AOM with out them.

[Rendon LX-i]

I just got my 2nd setup going. SO MUCH NICER LOL....T25 for kids and Tim took the cake on that....Im currently running 8 and it feels like 12...i could pull the timing alittle but its good...OBD1 is a forsure thing....going to get all the crap at once no bs'ing or playing...

all i have is

Chris's Ramhorn mani
38mm Tail w/g
2.5 dp....i could of done with out notching the crossmember but im a fool LOL
next week getting exhuast done all the way back 2.5 with no cat.
Ebay intercooler
450cc dsm blue tops
272 delta
golden eagle camgear
stock bottom end...stock rebuild
head was p&p way back so it prolly dont count
2.5 charge pipes from Justin 86...
apexi safc
Greddy Profec B boost controler...great unit


thats it..but what a change i can tell you that? what pistons your running i didnt see em on the list bro? Great work....cant wait for the results.

[lui0046]

You guys are doing quite a great job in your cars. I´ll be starting my own thread soon. I was having some issues with my first turbo setup which was kind of simple, not so seriuous are rendon´s, accordepicenter, or tdurr, just to mention a few.

But I´m working now on a new mani, clutch kit, charge pipes and finishing removing some old stuffs, i.e. the A/C.

I´ll probably get u guys some pics of my current setup before starting my thread

[MessyHonda]

dont forget Ericw...he helped me with my obd1 swap...he was making 240whp on a stock motor

[88LXi68]

Damn you guys are tempting me... after being in so many boosted cars lately I am really toying with the idea of ditching my b-swap parts and going boosted a20.

Turbo B...DO IT!

[bobafett]

yes. turbo b is as easy as building a shopping list. :) its such a well documented platform.

[EricW]

My car is currently not running. I'm trying to finish up building my motor and i will start putting it back together once thats finished.

[Tomisimo]

why are B is so much easier? I'm tempted my self of going Turbo, ave both A and B engines to choose from..

[2drSE-i]

Turbo B...DO IT!


You do it!

[Rendon LX-i]

I agree. steve get er done....man you already have the motor in...just by tune and put on...and your set

[guaynabo89]

Leave Steve alone!

Hes going ITB's :D



Ericw man its good to see your still checking up. gonna have to meet up again sometime.


I finally got my car running and managed 333 whp or so with 300tq with a slipping clutch. Ive maxed out my intercooler and keep breaking the front mount.

Most details can be found in my thread in the pics section. Heres a quick breakedown:


crower rods
wiseco pistons
pnp head/jg springs/alum retainers
edelbrock intake/bbk 70mm tb
aem ecu
3"downpipe/exhaust
precision SC6152
precision intercooler
precision 880cc injectors
tial 38mm wg
blitz bov

theres prob more but im forgetting. :)

sounds incredibly close to my setup only Im running the jdm b20a. Same intake, TB, internals, turbo, intercooler but im only running 550 injectors. I havent tuned mine yet but when I do getr it tuned Ill let everyone know. I think its going to be a while

[Civic Accord Honda]

why are B is so much easier? I'm tempted my self of going Turbo, ave both A and B engines to choose from..

i believe he was referring to b16/b18 civic/teggy engine as all the manifolds and etc is made for them

but since the A20 has closed cast iron deck it can hold allot of boost :cheers:

[Rendon LX-i]

^^^yes indeed hehe

[Hauntd ca3]

i dont know bout the b20a , but for the b16a, b18c engines you can buy what they call a block brace? which fits in the top of the blocks water jackets so they become effectively a closed deck motor.

[RobT5580]

I still have 90% of my turbo B20A kicking around and in the mist of rebuilding it. I definately have the itch after seeing Guaynabo89's car at Import Alliance. Its been slow going for me because i have been paying down my debts so i can buy a house and settle down a bit. But i plan to build the block this winter and see where im at in the spring but i forsee a running B20A Turbo by next summer.

[AccordEpicenter]

whats the status on your car? I cant remember seeing pics or anything of it...

[Tdurr]

[89T]

so where's the pic's bro?

b20a is closed deck so its all good. just not cast iron so the a20 should have an advantage

[Rendon LX-i]

Plans for me is to get half the parts for my block laying in the garage. rods,pistons, bearings....then ill get the block hot tanked....from there ill have the bottom end done.....whats going to cost me is the head. LOL

[Bass Man]

Just throwing it out there, but a buddy of mine stimulated my brain with a suggestion; Propane Drawthrough. 110 octane, the propane keeps the spool cooler than gas, and it seems like it will last a lot longer than gas turbo, plus, it's $2.29 a gallon and I guess you get about the same milage. Anyone done it?

Another plus is that I still have the A1 manifold, so all I gotta do is seal my plugged vacuum lines and build a plate? I can get a turbo off a 2.0l something (don't remember what from) with a wastegate and oil lines ready to hook up for $50, then I could probably find everything else to make it run for under $5-600.

Only thing is, though. I got probably 110,000 miles on this A3 block and I think I can hear a wristpin again...

[gfrg88]

so many builds, and not one pic?!? :wtf:

[Tdurr]

^^ we all got our own threads! lol

[mykwikcoupe]

whats the status on your car? I cant remember seeing pics or anything of it...

Im going to be installing the turbo mani again on the engine this weekend after I install the new front cross member. I ned to find a fabricator to make the charge pipes and exhaust. Im probably just going to let the tuner do it since he owns a shop locally. Other then that just the add ons like wideband and tunerview. The lsd is installed and everything is good to go. Log onto aim every now and again so i can chat with you some more.

[89T]

you got the neptune/w/tunerview?

[gfrg88]

not everyone that posted in here has their own threads....

Mostly wanna see accordepicenter (forgot his name lol) update his build with some nice pics... unless theyre on here somewhere already...

[guaynabo89]

ssshhhhhhh

we cant talk about that!


lol

I think hes waiting to update until everything is up and running.

I have a build thread in the pics section. I guess I should change the title of it tough cause it only says teaser turbo pics.

[Rendon LX-i]

holset FUCKING 89t....i hate you. i need one of those

[mykwikcoupe]

you got the neptune/w/tunerview?

no Im running crome and need to get the tunerview. I may change to neptune. i need to do some more reading to see whats added on since i last thought about it. My big options are data logging (obviously), boost control with timing control, FTL, ability to display multiple ststa on a single device or gauge, possible wideband through the stock wiring? Not sure if some of these are even possible

[RobT5580]

Sorry guys not much progress on my build but i bought a bunch of stuff not related to my turbo build but for the accord.

I am how ever having a new turbo manifold built at the moment by a pretty decent shop. I will post some pictures when its done hopefully in a few weeks. I did get a slick traction bar setup but i need to get my car on a lift to fit it up and get it painted so i can use it.

[guaynabo89]

what style manifold? You change your turbo?

[RobT5580]

Very similar to my old one but this one is angled down more and made of SS. Here is what it should look like:

http://straightlinespecialties.com/shop/images/DSC00754.jpg

I was going to do a shorty style but the wastegate placement is an issue along with the ramhorn. Otherwise i would have done the ramhorn or shorty.

[Rendon LX-i]

WOW. that is one nice manily. You made that? thats is amazing. I would love to have one of those.

[89T]

holset FUCKING 89t....i hate you. i need one of those:cool:

:dunno:you got a hatch....LOL!

Bra, you do not even want to know. There's base maps, even an area where it helps you create a base map, or even it takes a stock map you you set the injectors, tell it you are adding boost and it will adjust fuel and timing for base map... the shit is hot.

There is a section where you can load a tuned map.

I am glad i got the neptune.

[RobT5580]

I am having it made by a fab shop i was going to have it done by a local friend but he is to slow and these guys seem to do decent work and they have reduced rates so i will see how it works out. I need to stash some money and get my block machined but i keep finding stuff and i have been dropping a lot into my work van as well.

I will post more as i move forward.

[mykwikcoupe]

Thats the most basic answer Ive read about the difference between the 2 and by far the most informative. That alone will make me switch. If you get a chance to hope on aim or msn let me know id like to pick your brain some more. Im a good ready but without doing it Im not much of an understanding type thanks man

[Rendon LX-i]

AN a boosted sedan....

Yeah, I know.. That's where I saw it(thread).. But it just doesn't look very familiar to me.. apparently it made like 300 at the wheels.. pretty good.

[gfrg88]

The coolest old skool build was a 88 LX-i Accord with:
Skunk2 B-16a IM redrilled for the A20a3 head
B18 rods (not sure B18a,b, or c)
K20 pistons
Megasquirt EMS

Yup very impressive. To bad I'm not a a20 no more but I'll be pushing that easy on 12-15 lbs lsv.

[Tdurr]

That's pretty sexy...

[gfrg88]

So who's is it??? lol

[MessyHonda]

yeah i want to see the dyno graph

[89T]

He is on trhmt.com and it looks like he is in casper wy.

[gfrg88]

So I'm assuming he's not on here?? Would def like to see dyno sheet, and more info on his car overall..
