If you have the time and equipment (eprom burner, wideband 02 and a laptop) you can street tune and still do pretty good, esp with low boost

[Rendon LX-i]

thats how my tuner does it

[AccordEpicenter]

if you get a rom emulator such as an ostrich, you can tune the car while the engine is running, and if you datalog too, you can see exactly where and what you need to change right on your computer screen. Thats the ultimate.

shhhh no body asked you :P

Yea, i want to get a datalogger and be able to plug a laptop in so i can tune on the fly. My buddy had one in his eclipse and shit was gangster. His launch control built like 26lbs of boost.... thats just his launch speed lol...

[Tdurr]

well i did some work on the car today, redid my catch can setup and found a bad leak but its fixed now!
But while i was under there i found out i was missing the 2 bolts on my tranny mount that bolt into the tranny.... wtf??

then i also seafoamed the engine so its all running pretty.

nah, i need a clutch and i know i wont have one by then... and as of right now i dont have the $$ to get there im goonna try and see if i can work at the goodyear i use to work at next week for some quick $$ and yea... finding a job right now ftl.


Also, my last edit didnt work of the last post but I also found that one of my dizzy threads stripped out from the head so i gotta get that helicoled along with 3 exhaust studs.. so now i got a nice lil oil leak on the front of my block/tranny...

hey i plan on turbo ing my a20a1 accord hatch (manuel)
im converting it to pgm-fi from a 87 prelude (auto trans)
i am going to run 8-10 psi on a t3/ t4 turbo
i am going to use a 4-2-1 headers (custom attachment to the manifold) if wanted i can show a pre drawn pic of it

450cc jdm injectors, safc apexi controller, 255 walbro fuel pump.

the kit im getting comes with gauges, intercooler, piping, fuel press reg, wastegate, bov, voltage regulator, fan, oil cooler, oil catch tank, and turbo.

getting a spec stage 3 clutch

my question is : am i missing any thing for my build???

and what kind of wiring problems am i going to run into converting to pgm-fi from that car??

[gtmst3]

i have a question: now after i removed my stock air box on my lx-i i said to my self wow there is alot of room between the back of the engine and the fire wall. so why hasent anyone put a turbo back there? it seems like it would work, with well, less work.

[A18A]

sounds like a lot more work than the traditional off-the-manifold way

doable

small turbo, bracket to hoold it up and some heat shielding for the wiring harness etc, and it should workk.


Tim should try this.

[89T]

I think it would work, with the exception of there not being enough room for intercooler pipes.

sounds like a pain. u have alot of wires and hardlines back there that i wouldnt wanna put that much extra heat too and along with the weird manifold and ic pipes.

as far as ignition timing goes am i going to need a cam, cam gears , msd??? or can the stock system be used? im sure it cant but correct me if im wrong


and it does have the feed and return line with all the pieces to hool it up , sorry forgot to add that.

[guaynabo89]

there is if you use an air to water cooler back there. :P Mr. Intercoooler.

be very short piping actually. Lol

it would be like it is i beleve the german cars like vw

dont forget, the stock downpipe will be restrictive for sure, as the stock exhaust manifold probably will too. I think building a manifold is really the way to go. Dont forget, you have the axles in the way too, so getting piping in or out of that area under the intake mani will be a bitch...

ok i found some cheaper injectors

they are venom 440cc and i was wondering if they will fit into the a20's intake

[trage]

here is the site

[AccordEpicenter]

they will fit but i think they are saturated type injectors, you want peak hold type. Id just use some used DSM 450cc bluetops
