PROJECT , TURBO ( adams86lxi )

[Civvy]

Glad u disc. the PCV. hurry up man i want to here what its like! so i can do it!

[adams86lxi]

Well i havent really let alot of you know what has been going on with my car lately so im giving you guys a update.

Well this is what i have been up too JUST THIS WEEK!!!

I finnaly got my safc in!!! Took me alot of trouble and 3 months but i finnaly got it (DAMN EBAY). I got everything else done too. Got my injectors, fuel pump, etc. Put all of it in. Found out that the horrible miss my car had was just my old rising rate fuel mangament system was screwed up. I finnaly got to drive it with the new parts and it felt pretty good. Except for the horrible lag, it wouldnt make boost till about 5000+rpms!!! This was caused by a few things! No fire ring in the wastegate (long story, and its still not in) but it always seemed to still not be too laggy. Well today i was looking at it and i see that the gasket between the wastegate and the manifold is blown out on the top and bottom! Yet the car was still making boost. Anyways also one of the bolts that holds my turbo to my flange came out and the turbo was barley hanging on. Had to relocate one of my oil lines. I experimented with making my motor mounts stiffer but i kinda got excited and put them into early and screwed them up lol. Ive been messing with the settings on the safc alittle too. Trying to get it to run smoothly. Took my cams and shit out just so i could retorque the head. There is still barley 300 miles on my new pistons and stuff. Im making a new dump tube for my wastegate because its dumping off right by where my turbo is sucking up air so its basically sucking up exhaust. Picked me up a set of colder plugs and put them in. Ditched my old exhaust system. Been pricing out a new one. Fixed my boost guage so it actually works now lol. I also Finally hooked up my ect sensor. And i still have tons of other stuff to go lol. Im trying to get it ready for are socal meet. I dont know what im going to do for tires. My tires are showing the metal wires comming out!


O yea, just so its a official accord pic topic ill post some old pics. Ill try to get some new ones tommorw. And im going to try to get a vid too!!!

hacked to shit bumper!




The only real difference is there is a blitz bov on it now!








o yea, this is the setup if you are interested

-H22 turbo manifold
-td04 wrx turbo
-b20a5 pistons
-apexi safc
-dsm 450cc injectors
-walbro 255lph fuel pump
-johnny race car 33 inch long intercooler
-blitz bov
-38mm wastegate
-ngk wires, and colder plugs
-homemade catch can (not pictured)

So everyone knows how my car feels with boost! It feels pretty good. It felt better before when i had my shitty mangament on it and i think thats because i just relized today that the wastegate gasket was blown completly out and the wastegate was just real loose! So im going to drive it tommrow and see what it can really do. I have a quarter mile setup that me and my friends usually mess around on just to see what we can get up too and i got it too 100mph which im not sure how accurate my speedo is but somewhere around there. My compression is still real low?? Im just guessing its because the pistons were slightly different. Maybe lower compression. So i might be pumping up the boost in the near future! I can tell that my clutch isnt going to be able to keep up with it. But its doing the job "alright" for the circumstances.

Yummy -> Heat stained stainless steel



Get some times up and vids if you can.

Your downpipe will rust like crazy, I've used those flex pipes before.


So how is the whole PCV system holding up as well as the valve cover vent.

I've seen belt driven circulation pumps that are supposed to take the place of manifold vacuum, and I guess vent valve cover gasses as well. Just a thought, may help.

lol, yep it turned that color like 2 minutes after i started my car up lol. The downpipe is just a temporary thing. Ivehad it on there for over 6 months even though my car hasent been running that long it just sat there and it hasent started rusting at all. Probbaly because i live in the desert lol. It was like 105 degrees today. It dont rain lol.

pcv is gone. I just have a filter on top of that black box on the back of the block. Im probbaly going to go with a catch can one of these days.

[A20A1]

Are you going to stick with that FRAM filter?

[adams86lxi]

lol, probbally. Why not?? FRAM and STP are the only common ones i can find around here.

[Vanilla Sky]

you can tap your exhaust for vacuum. there are a couple threads on HT about it.

You should take care of this soon because you have no where for blow by to collect except stay in the breather box untill it fills up. I have the moroso catch can with a line coming off the breather box to the can with a filter on the can and one on the valve cover.

Hopefully you have better luck this round but be very carefull since your not tuning your car with a wideband or anything. Its very easy to break stuff this way which you already found out.

Glad to see your making progress!

Yeah, adjusting your fuel with an AFC and not touching the timing is a bad way to tune. Just be careful.

ive been reading non stop about pcv and its getting anoying becuase everyone says something different! lol. So what do you sugest i go with rob?? Isnt what you just said with the catch can the same thing?? Because you dont have a vaccum source to suck the vapors out you just got a filter on top of the catch can? Correct me if im wrong. I dont want to do this wrong and im confused!

[RobT5580]

You need the can to collect the blow by because right now your just going to collect it all in the breather box. You can set a catch can up many ways and i had my done another way but decided just to use a single inlet from the breather box and use a filter on the can and valve cover. You can read all day long about this so i cant say whats best but i know mine is working.

hopefully u can get her ready for the meet

hopefully u can get her ready for the meet

Thats the goal!

like i said, the exhaust can be tapped for vacuum.

ok. it just seems that people ignore me when i bring that topic up, though. most are like OMG, vacuum from the exhaust!!!!!????!?!?!!?

[adams86lxi]

Well i decided today to make a DIY catch can. So i started off with a compresser filter for a air compresser i got at walmart. This is how i hooked it up. I connected the one end right into the top of that black box where the pcv valve used to be. Then i took the other end and needed to do something for pre-turbo vaccum. So i took a small piece of piping and put a 3/8 fitting into it about a inch away from the turbo and about a inch away from my filter (aka metal screan). So i was curious to if this will get good vaccum for it to work propperly?? Here are some pics!





The hose coupler is connected directly onto the turbo.

[adams86lxi]

The metal screan is temporary btw lol.

I am bumping every old turbo thread. Is it running or gone.
