The Journey 89 turbo'ed-----89T

[mikes87lude]

...i messed around with a hand full of honda dizzy's and i have came to the conclusion that they are a pain in the ass....

i am not real familliar with the megasquirt management, but i can lead you in the right direction to use the ford dizzy with that management.
go to this site www.turboford.org there are a bunch of people using megasquirt.

note the came key only goes one direction.........
good luck with you'r build.

ooh the amount of timing control excelent.

I've been reading about people trying to fit F22 dizzys, but that seems like a major bitch to accomplish. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. If the ford dizzy works as well as DIS or EDIS I may use it. Then people who know honda motors will be like WTF, like I was when I saw the pics you posted of yours. Nice work.

Keep me posted. I like to benifit from other peoples experience whenever possable. If you go the cam trigger rought you might need to do a little research at the MS website. I believe I read there that you need to use two rings and triggers, because of the difference in RPM between the cam and crank. I could be wrong, but I belive that's what they said. Which is the reason I decided against putting the sensor on the cam instead of the crank.

it seems i have appropreated some new toy's! i'll try and get pic's tonight!!

[89T]

ooh and cant for get this!




so what do you guys think?
it almost looks like a pro car in person minus the cheap paint job.


i need to find 2 more ls mesh wheel's to make a set. If any one has any hit me up.

[A18A]

wow those wheels are sexxxay!

[MessyHonda]

yeah i like the mesh rims.

[Civic Accord Honda]

IMO i liked the old rims beter lol but istill love the meshs lol and DAMN YOUR CAR IS SEXY!!!!

[89T]

the mesh wheel's and tires are for the drag strip.(235/60/15)http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php
wrinkle wall ftw!

thanks guy's!

[AccordEpicenter]

thumbs up on the wheel/tire combo. Ill have to check that out, for real. And mikes87lude, if youre running higher than 10-12psi boost in the long run, id highly reccomend upgrading to at least a t3 60/63, that 42/48 is a little on the small size for mid-high boost

[89T]

thanks bro. i think i'll have to put in 20mm or 25mm spacer's on the wheels, and lift the car alittle bit to make sure that the tire wont hit the upper control arm when the tires expand.

the turbo i have on is the 62-1,but i changed the exhaust wheel and housing to a 48 for a quicker spool.

worse comes to worse i'll put the stage III wheel and 63ar housing back in.
the original 62-1 doesent get into it's efficiancy till 14.5psi, and it seem's the turbo isn't even breaking a sweat at 13.8psi with the 48ar housing and wheel.
with the combonation i am running right now i should be able to hit the 400-450 mark without exceeding 20-25psi. i guess the dyno will tell all.

On a off note. i still need to hit the j/y for a trans i might be able to pick you up a crank if you still need one.lmk

[89T]

well alittle update ....
as you all know i was having tranny and clutch problems.

i picked up an aluminum flywheel, clutch net 6 puck with presure plate,and a pg lsd from mcfly.

bullard123 helped out with his old a20 tranny.

thanks guy's!

as of last night the clutch and flywheel are in and the tranny is tore down,and almost ready for the lsd.

after alittle cleanup tonight the lsd is going in and the tranny will be put back together.

next week i am going to try and get on the dyno and see the differance in tq/hp with the lighter flywheel and tune in the cam gear.

[89T]

omfg! i am glad i put the power steering back in.
I got the clutch,flywheel, Phantom grip and trans installed yestrday . you wouldent belive the differance. the car doesnt sling you'r arm from side to side anymore . it pull's straight. It revs like 3 times faster then before and seems to put you in the seat even more than before.
the clutch has a violent engagement but it no longer slips under full boost. The other thing i noticed was it is harder to steer with the lsd.

i can post some pics if anyone is interested.

[89T]

i hope some pic's from the install will sufice for now. I am trying to get on the dyno this week to tune in the cam gear and see what kind of differance the lighter flywheel made and possibly turn up the boost alittle. i'll get you a video of that.

[89T]

give me a min. i got some more.

[89T]
