    Talking Re: 87 Turbo Accord

    If youre still thinking about going turbo i think you should get a complete grasp on what all goes into just parts of a turbo car...



    bov
    fuel pump
    fuel injectors
    wastegate (or internally gated turbo)
    fmic
    turbo manifold
    turbo
    charge pipes
    obd1 ecu and tuning software
    wideband o2
    colder plugs

    and expanding on bobafetts list

    relocate battery (kit)
    OR
    new smaller battery
    Fuel Pressure Regulator (adjustable or Rising Rate)
    Fuel pressure gauge
    oil feed for turbo (outlet from source/line/flow restricter)
    oil drain for turbo (nipple in oil pan/line)
    fittings for said feed and drain
    boost gauge (so ya know where youre at)
    brackets for the IC
    new gaskets for the manifold/oil pan/ valve cover (unless youre running a catch can)
    pipe to make DP
    Turbo outlet flange to make DP
    o2 bung for wideband
    resisters put inline (depending on injectors)
    a filter/pipe for the turbo
    silicon connectors
    t-bolt clams
    new fuel filter
    turbo gaskets
    various bolts and clamps
    probably new shit for your bumper because you broke them taking it off
    and if you do water to air like I did then you add
    Liquid Intercooler
    Heat Exchanger
    3/4 water line
    3/4 hose clamps
    fittings
    water pump with desired flow rate in my case 13.8gmp@3amp

    probably more stuff i cant think about at this moment but you get the idea... what ever you think its going to take to turbo your car go ahead and add about $500 bucks to it, even if you do it cheap like it did (i did mine right, just took me a year to find all the parts for the prices i wanted to pay) it still nickles and dimes you!

    Re: 87 Turbo Accord

    let me guess, 14b/dsm mani redrilled? Looks pretty good, the liquid to air ic is different, were you going for sleeper looks? or did you just not want to hack up the front of the car for a fmic? Whats your managemant?

    Re: 87 Turbo Accord

    i see the fact that its easier and more efficient run a air/water intercooler on a race car but i really am not fond of it in a street car.the question is are you going to toss in a bag of ice every time you drive your car?or did you go with a water cooler in front of the rad?
    not busting your balls or anything but without doing any of those its not going to be efficant...

    It's Nick! Whats up dude...

    Yep he has redrilled dsm manifold and 14b turbo. He is crome tuned.

    Yeah his car is definitely sleeper. Hideously stock, it's awesome.
    He has a heat exchanger in the bumper to help cool off the water. But no reservoir to put ice in if i remember correctly.

    I had to give him crap on the liquid setup too but it is crazy how fast that thing builds boost with the piping he has. It's almost faster than you can register the pressure on the gauge lol. Not sure on IAT's, but he claims it stays pretty cool.

    It's a 14b..I would say it's possibly too small for a 600cc bike and here it's on a 2.2..

    As far as the liquid setup, I had that before, probably never again. Reason is you have 2 inefficiencies in series instead of one. Not to mention the added unreliability and complexity of the system.

    Re: 87 Turbo Accord

    i guess i should get on here more but lets answer some questions..

    for a motor that has 200,678 miles and nothing done to the actual engine it pulls hard and the turbo builds pretty decent power for what i use it for. The intake temps are decent and the A/F doesnt go crazy in hot outside temps and to go with that i can up the boost because i did a very safe tune about 10.8:1 at full throttle to account the intercooler being better at winter temps...

    but all things considered when i started this project i gave myself a goal...

    1) do the turbo setup for less then $1000
    2) keep the car as stock as possible

    first with the turbo kit, (including Liquid cooling) cost about $950, the wideband O2 was $250, tuning was $100, and the exhaust was $230 so i did go over by $430 but meh... still good i think

    and keeping the car stock is easy, REMINDER i wanted to keep the power steering and A/C which isnt possible with a front mount,also the water-air ic had to be done to keep the blingin front mount out of the equation so another reason i went water to air, the exhaust is a full 2.5in turbo back (stock cat) with 2.5 magniflow, a piece of 2.5in pipe out the back totally looks like muffler shop job so it works, stock height
    stock wheels with 205/50/15 Hankook k106's
    to stop with a set a powerslot rotors with Thermoquite pads... next will be metalmasters


    i dont take offense to anything anybody says, i called turbo project "project butt stock" and well its just fun to stomp on cars on the freeway and then blend into the traffic... its fun
