[SQ is the SQUAD]

i got just about everythng i need to start my turbo porject. just waiting on a few more parts to come in.

setup:
stock great condiditon a20a
2g dsm t25 ( until i get everythnig running good, then t3/t4)
eaby greddy style bov
cca 31" fmic
custom long manifold
msd sci ingition box
2.5" intercooler piping
2.5" exhuast piping
2.5" x 8" flex section
2.5" car sound high flow cat
pasesetter exhaust
rc 370 injectors



i still need
odb1 conversion
5 spd tranny
clutch
lightweight flywheel
wideband o2 sensor
egr block off
cash


ill add pics later after i go masterbate and take a nap

[AccordEpicenter]

lol. Victor just pinch the egr tube off at the intake manifold, or cap it. Leave the egr valve on it. Got pics of this custom manifold?

[MessyHonda]

lol its funny how you put cash on stuff you need. yeah i like your threads since they are filled with pictures...keep up the good work...and where are the pics?

[SQ is the SQUAD]

here goes the pics (my best investment was a digi cam )

dsm 2g t25









oil adapter, may not use





bov

[SQ is the SQUAD]

audi 5000 esternal wastegate (for when i upgrade turbos)







not sure if i can use these plugs


rc injectors


log manifold parts




stealthmode oil line kit


cca intercooler ( i still need to weld it )


with bumper

[SQ is the SQUAD]

misc stuff laying around



just flange on head


i dont think ill be able to do these fogs with the intercooler piping, we will see

[SQ is the SQUAD]

some of the things i dont understand:

with converting to odb1 will i need a fmu?
what should i get for an enexpensive wideband setup for tuning. will be runnig chiped ecu, not sure what program.

i have a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator, am i gonna need it on this set up.

i am reading some of seand old stuff and i am trying to figure out all the crap i can get rid of. i just want the very basice, i dont need any emissions stuff

[A20A1]

I thought they suggest regular plugs when going turbo. Or was it the Platinums that had hard to regap tips that were bad (eg. Platinum +4's)?

I guess those irridiums allow you to adjust the gap so they should be okay.
What heat range are they?

[SQ is the SQUAD]

i know nothnig about spark plugs. i was hoping someone could tune me in

[Hash_man_Se_i]

From my understanding you should be just fine using iridiums, just run less gap then you would stock.

Looks good though, be sure to keep us updated.

BTW< what shifter is that? i'm assuming some sort of short shifter?

[SQ is the SQUAD]

its a 90-93 teg short shifter. i was gonna use it with my b81a in the hatch but thats gone now so i am going to try to get it to work in the coupe

[cubert]

i thought MA had emissions testing? or is it only on cars back to a certain year? Im not sure..i just bring my pollution emitting vehicles down into the state from NH


Looking real good...id love to see it when its done

[SQ is the SQUAD]

we have emission testing

That awsome dude seems like you are coming along quickly with the turbo project. As for the EGR, you could go ahead and match a b16 intake manifold to the head and not have to worry about blocking the EGR.

[Legend_master]

It pays to have an emissions hookup.

Too bad I don't have one anymore. Dude got canned, I had to deal with an asshole last time.

fucker made me take off my Atari joystick shift knob.

with the obd1 setup he should not have to worry about emmisions. I bet the car will run cleaner then it had before.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

i know abot 10 different place i could go. it cost a lil more but hey

[SQ is the SQUAD]

i think first thing tuesday morning i am going to the junkyard to find a tranny.

cke, do you know how much your jy charges if you pull one off yourself?

[speedpenguin]

They're usually pretty cheap.
I can get one for $75 plus tax.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

if i can get one for under 150 ill be happy

[Justin86]

looks like you got most off your stuff. I would recomend against the t3/t4, you really need to rev the shit out of your engine to make decent boost. Maybe that what you want but on the streets/daily driving they suck IMO.
As for the tuning unless you are paying to have it done a dyno with all their sensors I would highly recomend on a good wideband and EGT sensor, along with an ECU capable of dataloging. I'd go with the PLX R-500 and it all worth the $500 price tag. AEM is ok but over priced for their wideband.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

would a regular t3 be more suitable. the t25 is too small, the t3/t4 is too big, what is a just right sized turbo?

where did you get ur turbo?
i have a 89 lxi too

[w00tw00t111]

Hey Victor everything's looking tip-top! GL with the rest of the install, we should just add your name to the list of turbo-ed 3geez. BTW I have a chipped P75 ecu *uberdata* If you'd like it just let me know. Now that I'm not turboing I have quite a few spare parts that I need to get rid off. Just thought I'd let you know.Just keep us updated

[AccordEpicenter]

T3 60/48 should give you excellent results, fully boosted around 3000, pretty responsive, supports 300hp and cheap. Plus uses a straight up T3 flange. I rock a T3 60/63 so its got a bigger turbine side but that gives me big top end. Do not use those denso Iridiums. Get some straight up NGK bpr7es, 2 steps colder than stock.

[speedpenguin]

If you can't find one then I can probably pull one and send it to you for less than that.
