the real turbo accord LX-iT

[Justin86]

well you all know I don't mess around with ya, I give you the truth.

[AccordEpicenter]

this is your car or? What are you using for managemant? Looks pretty good though

[white ricer]

nice to see more completed turbo swaps running around. I want the details on this. Looks damn clean man

[Deadhead]

what kind of turbo is that? it looks HUGE!

[3G Jester]

youve been working on that for forever. did you trakc how long it took? congrats on its completion. love to see some vids of it runnning. should throw out a shout out to 3geez and say your user name so it doesnt get jacked by someone else in the future

[Justin86]

lol stock muffler, well right there I know i did it just as planned. It's a 3" magnaflow. T3 turbo (turbine .48 a/r, 65trim) (compressor .42 a/r, 50 trim), 3" down pipe and exhaust. 2.5" charge pipes, 272 cam, OBD-1 swap and tuned with Chrome.

yea it did take me a long time 6 months build, including a lot of hasles of getting the OBD-1 up and running and waiting a month to get a new turbo. But working 70hrs a week I really only had one day a week to work on it.

[white ricer]

what kinda of turbo manifold did you use? get a video of this thing i wanna see it in action

[88accordhb]

knowing Sanders, everything he used is custom.


dude, is that tasha??

[Lok]

Very wicked!!!!! realy nice car!
I think with T3 on A20a3 will make easy 220+ Flywheel hp running low boost 0.5bar.

Congarts Justin, keep us update about your project car.

[AccordEpicenter]

any timeslips or dyno numbers yet? How much boost are you running? I have a bigger version of the turbo that you are running. Are you using a log manifold? Did you make it or had it made? I might upgrade to an external wastegate if i swap turbos to somthing bigger (not sure yet). Im real curious to see if the 272 cam helped or hurt you with the boost... that and how/what parts/how long did it take for the obd1 converison?

[Justin86]

I did kind of a log just to keep it compact and simple for now. Yea like CT said it's all custom, I fab all my parts.

Yes that is Tasha, new and revised, well allways being revised. he he he

peak boost right now is 7psi at around 4000rpm and major tire slippage usally occurs around that point.

Right now I'm running a safe tune until I have some time to fine tune it on a non rainy day, it gets pretty out of control full boost at 60mph. Then I will strap it on to a dyno and see what she does when I have time, which could be a month or two.

hp wise I'm thinking around 180whp at 8psi seems to be the avg on a stock engine. Sean was pushing like 230whp on a built engine at 8psi.

I'll try to get some vid of it soon if I can find a camera man.

The OBD-1 swap isn't too hard except for mounting the dizzy.

[AccordEpicenter]

good work. You used an accord dizzy... 90-93? Civic P06 ecu? Boost is addictive isnt it?

[Justin86]

yea 4g accord external dizzy with a teg p-75, p-06 is just as good. All the info is in the OBD-1 thread.

[military mase]

It's lookin nice Justin. can't wait to see more from you went you get it fully tune the way you want it......I can't wait till mine is done now. This stuff gets my hairs tingling.

[newaccorddriver]

yea 4g accord external dizzy with a teg p-75, p-06 is just as good. All the info is in the OBD-1 thread.

what do you mean by 4g external dizzy? the igniter is on the outside? ive read some things about converting to OBD1, but is it harder to hook up an external dizzy?

[bobafett]

for us, it will be easier to hook up exterinal coil dizzy, since our cars came stock with external coil!

[Ace]

Justin Real Nice car just awesome love you're turbo set up

[Justin86]

yea external dizzy mean it has an external coil. 90-91 accords came with an internal coil that were prone to messing up the $100 ignition module(ignitor)

[Accordtheory]

nice, cool to see another turbo 3g. One thing you should change is that 2 stage IM, it juggles balls. get the aebs typhoon, I can almost guarantee it will put a grin on your face the first time you bounce off the rev limit.

You heard anything about the neptune rtp? I'll probably get that, but I hear CromePro + the moates.net 'ostrich' is almost as good.

[Acid X]

That's insane justin. Congratulations. I want to turbo my LX, but i doubt that'll ever happen!

[HondaBoy]

that is very cool. seems like everyone want to show their stuff off right now. i dunno, maybe i should get some new pix of my 3gee? probley will. that looks great. since we now know your engine stuff, whats with the suspension? i'm sure you've said it before somewhere. looks like slotted rotors front and rear. how wide are the tires you're running? and what wheels are those? looks sleeper. that was what you were going for right? oh, and did you build the turbo yourself or buy it as it is? my friend with a VR4 galant has a T3/T4 57trim i believe. that thing boosts like a mofo and even spins all the tires going through the gears.

[ICEMAN707]

now that's a clean turbo setup if i ever saw one. good job justin. i was wondering when we're gonna see pics of that tasha of yours. keep us updated on the performance and whether it was all worth it turbo'ing the a20.

[gfrg88]

thats looks freaking sweet man, is it really hard to turbo our cars because of room?? i went to some car shop about a week ago and he said he wouldnt want to turbo mine cause there isnt enough room
oh and that car looks sweeet

[AccordEpicenter]

ok cool man, ill check that obd-1 thread out again, i really need a managemant upgrade, running 13psi on an afc is a real shot in the dark

[MattsAccord]

Justin I'll help you with a video. I might head over tomorrow for that radiator.
