Leave Steve alone!

Hes going ITB's



Ericw man its good to see your still checking up. gonna have to meet up again sometime.


I finally got my car running and managed 333 whp or so with 300tq with a slipping clutch. Ive maxed out my intercooler and keep breaking the front mount.

Most details can be found in my thread in the pics section. Heres a quick breakedown:


crower rods
wiseco pistons
pnp head/jg springs/alum retainers
edelbrock intake/bbk 70mm tb
aem ecu
3"downpipe/exhaust
precision SC6152
precision intercooler
precision 880cc injectors
tial 38mm wg
blitz bov

theres prob more but im forgetting.

sounds incredibly close to my setup only Im running the jdm b20a. Same intake, TB, internals, turbo, intercooler but im only running 550 injectors. I havent tuned mine yet but when I do getr it tuned Ill let everyone know. I think its going to be a while

why are B is so much easier? I'm tempted my self of going Turbo, ave both A and B engines to choose from..

i believe he was referring to b16/b18 civic/teggy engine as all the manifolds and etc is made for them

but since the A20 has closed cast iron deck it can hold allot of boost

[Rendon LX-i]

^^^yes indeed hehe

[Hauntd ca3]

i dont know bout the b20a , but for the b16a, b18c engines you can buy what they call a block brace? which fits in the top of the blocks water jackets so they become effectively a closed deck motor.

[RobT5580]

I still have 90% of my turbo B20A kicking around and in the mist of rebuilding it. I definately have the itch after seeing Guaynabo89's car at Import Alliance. Its been slow going for me because i have been paying down my debts so i can buy a house and settle down a bit. But i plan to build the block this winter and see where im at in the spring but i forsee a running B20A Turbo by next summer.

b20a is closed deck so its all good. just not cast iron so the a20 should have an advantage

[Rendon LX-i]

Plans for me is to get half the parts for my block laying in the garage. rods,pistons, bearings....then ill get the block hot tanked....from there ill have the bottom end done.....whats going to cost me is the head. LOL

[Bass Man]

Just throwing it out there, but a buddy of mine stimulated my brain with a suggestion; Propane Drawthrough. 110 octane, the propane keeps the spool cooler than gas, and it seems like it will last a lot longer than gas turbo, plus, it's $2.29 a gallon and I guess you get about the same milage. Anyone done it?

Another plus is that I still have the A1 manifold, so all I gotta do is seal my plugged vacuum lines and build a plate? I can get a turbo off a 2.0l something (don't remember what from) with a wastegate and oil lines ready to hook up for $50, then I could probably find everything else to make it run for under $5-600.

Only thing is, though. I got probably 110,000 miles on this A3 block and I think I can hear a wristpin again...

[gfrg88]

so many builds, and not one pic?!?

[Tdurr]

^^ we all got our own threads! lol

[mykwikcoupe]

Im going to be installing the turbo mani again on the engine this weekend after I install the new front cross member. I ned to find a fabricator to make the charge pipes and exhaust. Im probably just going to let the tuner do it since he owns a shop locally. Other then that just the add ons like wideband and tunerview. The lsd is installed and everything is good to go. Log onto aim every now and again so i can chat with you some more.

[89T]

you got the neptune/w/tunerview?

[gfrg88]

not everyone that posted in here has their own threads....

Mostly wanna see accordepicenter (forgot his name lol) update his build with some nice pics... unless theyre on here somewhere already...

[guaynabo89]

ssshhhhhhh

we cant talk about that!


lol

I think hes waiting to update until everything is up and running.

I have a build thread in the pics section. I guess I should change the title of it tough cause it only says teaser turbo pics.

[Rendon LX-i]

holset FUCKING 89t....i hate you. i need one of those

[mykwikcoupe]

you got the neptune/w/tunerview?

no Im running crome and need to get the tunerview. I may change to neptune. i need to do some more reading to see whats added on since i last thought about it. My big options are data logging (obviously), boost control with timing control, FTL, ability to display multiple ststa on a single device or gauge, possible wideband through the stock wiring? Not sure if some of these are even possible

[RobT5580]

Sorry guys not much progress on my build but i bought a bunch of stuff not related to my turbo build but for the accord.

I am how ever having a new turbo manifold built at the moment by a pretty decent shop. I will post some pictures when its done hopefully in a few weeks. I did get a slick traction bar setup but i need to get my car on a lift to fit it up and get it painted so i can use it.

[guaynabo89]

what style manifold? You change your turbo?

[RobT5580]

Very similar to my old one but this one is angled down more and made of SS. Here is what it should look like:



I was going to do a shorty style but the wastegate placement is an issue along with the ramhorn. Otherwise i would have done the ramhorn or shorty.
