PROJECT , TURBO ( Accordtheory )

The skunk 2 intake is pretty good, but cost way too much same with the eldelbrock. Get the AEBS manifold, it is just a good but half the price.

**AccordEpicenter** · 07-19-2004, 12:32 PM

the edelbrock intake mani simply pwn3s everything

**Justin86** · 07-20-2004, 09:58 AM

But is it worth $300...........? I'd rather get the AEBS.

**Accordtheory** · 07-20-2004, 01:10 PM

didn't you guys see my pic? I already have the aebs manifold. The runners are too short on the edelbrock, the aebs is the best compromise in my opinion, especially when you consider the price... Right now I am still waiting on sean's ecm and I need to get one of those flx-125 fans for my civic radiator so I can finish with that shit. I am also developing an h2o/alcohol injection system that will be programmable using my old supplemental injector controller. It should beat anything on the market under $1K, if it works as I am hoping... I finally got some 17s (it's about fucking time!) I also need to get a wideband 02 and the xtronics eprom emulator for seans ecm setup. With my new combination (seans ecm + 450cc injectors+ walbro pump+aebs manifold+ported head+H20 injection+ more boost) my clutch will certainly live a short tortured life. I guess I need to call that guy back from RPS

sounds good... Yea that edelbrock one is pretty much full race. For less than half the price, the aebs one is a hell of a deal. How much boost are you gonna run now and what clutch do you have? Son you need to hit up the track for some 1/4 times with that shit

**Justin86** · 07-21-2004, 08:36 PM

oh now I remember you have that crazy turbo manifold. Get some new pics with the wheels at what not, we love updates.

**Accordtheory** · 07-22-2004, 01:16 PM

I'll throw some pics up after my ecm gets here from sean and after I finish installing my civic radiator/fan. Hopefully that won't be too much longer

**DLB** · 07-23-2004, 10:33 AM

Wow that turbo setup sounds awesome!! Keep up the good work.

**Accordtheory** · 07-28-2004, 03:43 PM

Here is a picture of my civic radiator. This was kind of a pain to fit, as the civic radiator is taller than the stock unit, and I had to make custom mounts for it, and cut out the top piece a little. I also made the little aluminum mounts for the fan to connect to the radiator. I also had to make the thing for the coolant sensor to screw into, as the civic radiator does not have a provision for this. So now I have room to route charge air piping for a FMIC, etc.

**k-roy** · 07-28-2004, 03:49 PM

Pics are not working man.
E-mail them to me and I can host them for you.

**88accordhb** · 07-28-2004, 04:08 PM

looks good, civic radiators are soo much more convenient and small. hehe

**Robs89LXi** · 07-28-2004, 04:47 PM

No pics.

**88accordhb** · 07-28-2004, 05:03 PM

right click on image, go to properties, copy url, paste

**Robs89LXi** · 07-28-2004, 06:07 PM

Got 'em. Thanks. So Accordtheory, how has it been doing do far? I've thought about it as well, but worry about not enough capacity for the heat we face down here in Texas. Let us know how it does.
PS Got any more pics of your manifold? I'd sure like to see some.
Thanks.

**Scorpion88LX** · 07-28-2004, 06:33 PM

nice work

**zero.counter** · 07-28-2004, 06:40 PM

Nice radiator!

Yeah right

**accordlxi2.0** · 07-28-2004, 06:55 PM

i see it, ummm sorry 2 sound like a dumbass but why use a civic radiator, unless ya have a turbo so big, . . .

**keruhas184** · 07-28-2004, 07:56 PM

here they are

**HondaBoy** · 07-28-2004, 08:16 PM

and someone didnt read his vehicle description? turbo 87 lxi hatch. hopefully its a nice light weight, nice high flow one. more pix would be great ya know! we'd like to see more.

**AccordAddict** · 07-29-2004, 09:30 AM

thats kick ass

**PhydeauX** · 07-29-2004, 01:55 PM

That looks like a stock one. If thats a daily driver or driven to/from the track I'd think about swapping that for an aftermarket aluminum one. Heck, I'm using a stock civic rad as the rad for my air water ic.

**AccordEpicenter** · 07-29-2004, 02:21 PM

hope you dont overheat with that thing

**Justin86** · 07-30-2004, 09:34 AM

I though you were getting an aluminum radiator, that seems like a down grade from our stock one..........

**Accordtheory** · 07-30-2004, 04:09 PM

It has less surface area than the stock one, but it has a thicker core made of aluminum. Also, it doesn't have the a/c condenser in front of it and I have the flex a lite fan. I have heard of people using these to cool H22's swapped into civics, so I think it probably will be okay. If it isn't, whatever, I will let you guys know
