91 turbo

Ok, ok. I have been informed that I post everywhere, but come on! I really want this Project Accord to get under way. So, my buddy has a 2g Eclipse turbo with manifold that he will sell for like 50 bucks, which is nice. But here lies the problem. Does anyone know actually what I would have to do to have the turbo fit the stock 2.2L motor in the Accord and can this even be done? I would have to think that there is some way that this could be possible so if anyone knows a way, let me know. Thanks.

Well the first thing that I screwed up on was that the dude does NOT have the manifold. But I do have the stock motor in the '91 Accord so like you said that is the f22a. If the turbo does not come with a manifold is there one that you could purchase that will have the right pattern to fit the Honda heads and Eclipse turbo or will I just have to re-drill. And if I do have to re-drill how much would that usually run. Thanks a lot.

Again man, thanks a lot. Do you think the f22parts site is really reliable though because right on the page of the manifold is says that it hasn't been tested on the f22 yet.... That's not cool. If you can give me some more insight (cause you will learn that I am dumb) that would be awesome. And yeah, my buddy has a machine shop that I can re-drill if necessary. Thanks.

hm heres one that i found for you real cheap.

f22 manifold


dont think you have to spend 600 dollars on one. i dont think you should have to spend any more than 250 for a good log style manifold.

o. i though thats what cowboy was trying to do.... a boneyard buildup. those log style manifolds can be good. what are you suggesting for him, cause hes putting an old t wheel on the car that might smoke already. i think a tubular manifold or other really good manifold would be great if he was going to put on a new gt wheel or something. weve just got two setups that we are thinking about though, and trust me 91 i like yours better.

Quick question, on the manifold that lightshow linked up, it says it has the T3 flange. The second generation Eclipse turbo I thought was a T25 so would that interfere or does it not really matter? Both of you guys have helped a lot though and I really appreciate it. You'll probably hear from me real soon. Thanks.

Well I am glad to be informed that the 2g turbo I was going to purchase is totally screwed up and I won't be able to use it at all. So Project Accord is a no for a while. Plus, no cash...

I'm 17 and I think that I am getting like $250 back or something. That's some bull s**t. Plus I am working at Best Buy right now and since the holidays are over our department has been going through labor and hour cuts. I am part time because I am still in school, so its really hard to get some cash. I am selling tickets to a concert and that's giving me some money, but not quite enough. So the Accord is posted up like a mailbox in my garage. Plus, I finally got the new tranny for my 240SX, and oh my God. That thing is insane.

I'm slowly finishing up my turbo project (minor things at this point...). eBay will be your friend here. I purchased the log style manifold from F22 parts. It took a while to get it, and when I finally got it, it was bowed like crazy and I had to remachine it. Not worth the money I paid if you ask me, but it does work. Hopefully they'll do a little better welding.

A good t3/t4 turbo (new) on eBay can be had for as little $300. You can find a used one for even less. Just keep your eyes open and do tons of research.

Finding the downpipe will be the funnest part of your build. I recommend making your own, or leaving it to an exhaust shop. My A/C was sacraficed in the end. You gotta do what you gotta do...

LMAO ... you didn't have to sacrafice A/C for the downpipe....it was a trade.... just put your windows down dude... i mean you got the turbo to go faster and if you go fast with the windows down you get cool air ... you see... not such a bad trade ...

That's called the 2x100 A/C... 2 windows rolled down at 100 mph cools you down enough.... I want it!

Yeah, I like my new A/C. It pushes much more air than my factory one!

but serisouly, I never even used it (and I live in south fl!). Not even in the summer. So I said "goodbye" and took it off.
