Pics of turbo setup yo :)

there is a ( HITATCHI DISTRIBUTORS ) metal vacuum advance diaphragm on some 86-87 models that can be cut open, crimped back together and then you can reference it to boost. actually not welding it would allow you to change the spring rates inside... you need to swap over the spring anyways. There are other diaphargms on the stock carb but I'm weary on the amount of travel they have, some too much some too little. The secondary diaphragm and Vacuum idle diaphragm are the best bet. I believe only one is actually able to be unscrewed... the rest are crimped and sealed.

dude you RAWK. One more turbo 3g on the streets. I gotta say a drunk monkey could make better looking welds but if it holds and there are no holes, then the rest is aesthetics which dont matter really. hope you get a new clutch in soon so you can really feel the power of that beast.

can we not put a carb vac diaphram on the dizzy mounts and sum how have it pull the dizzy into retard position under boost?

that pain wont be necessary when this uberdata solution gets worked out.

[AccordEpicenter]

you need an electrical means of controlling the timing retard under boost... mechanical stuff i plain wouldnt rely on and also getting it to work the way you want it to just isnt worth it. Yeah i know my manifold welds look like ass but they dont leak and are hella strong... plus they look decent from the inside too. As for the clutch i got my double diaphram pressure plate and 6 puck sprung copper ceramic clutchnet clutch today... hopefully ill install it tomarrow

A drunk monkey?? damn, dude you had me laughing for like mins, but I am crunk tho

[TheSummoner101]

nice and i like the silver on black on the eye lids!

[mykwikcoupe]

so if your produceing boost at 4k them youve got like a 3k powerband. Seems kinda high dont you think? Is it drivable or is it the type of thing that kicks in too late. Although with it spooling up so late you wont have to worry about a stronger clutch for takoff.

[bobafett]

if you shift at 6500 you end up around 4000 so it works if your racing!! lol

DAMN that's a big intercool, it make's it look's like your car is smiling.

About the late spoolup, is it possible that the wastegate is not held completely shut until desired boost has been reached? In other words, the pressure inside the exhaust manifold is leaking past the turbo into the wastegate and just out the tailpipe?

Yea damn I need to finish this OBD-1 swap.

You need to paint the IC black for more of a sleeper image
First off I'm trying to figure out how to mount a big FMIC with out pulling the hood latch. I might get one custom made. I see you went in front of the latch. What are the dimensions of your IC?

Yeah... im thinking because the wastegate actuator rod is loose its making my spoolup times nasty and slow... Im gonna try and work on it.

Custom Coach FMIC: Aluminum Front Mount Intercooler - 31x6.5x2.75
2 1/2" inlet/outlet. Internally finned, handmade and works excellent. I had to notch the bumper beam on the bottom about an inch or so to get the fmic to fit, i also had to move the power steering cooling lines back behind the hood latch before the radiator, which i had to notch the core support so the lines would fit with the fmic in.

[PortugalFocus]

Man that FMIC looks nasty. Great job I know that musta taken a ton of work. Great job with it.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Damn guys I guess when I do the efi swap I will need to start a turbo project. Seems like I will be left out if I don't

[blazin3gen]

how in the hell did i miss this? bro that right there is damn awesome!! i wanna drive that thing

[truetune]

yay another turbo and the numbers are going up yay. oneday I shall join the trubo beast.

[Headnoise]

I wouldn't drive that P.O.S... Oh... wait... I should smack myself now...
You gotta tell us what your speeds are after you get your new clutch... I think my stock will blow you...
