A t3/t4 hybrid bb (ball bearing) will be great for you. A boost controller just let''s you adjust the amount of boost you want your car to produce. _____________________________ 2000 Accord LX i4 Turbo AT 18" Konig Unknown Rims MSD 6AL Gold Line Suspension Apexi Neo Few other Mods...

RE: Turboing a 1994 acoord - 7/28/2008 4:29:18 AM    KevinAccord Posts: 1011 Joined: 4/30/2007 Status: offline remember that the spring on your wastegate will also determine the amount of minimum boost you can have. so if you have a 7psi spring, don''''t expect lower psi than that. A boost controller is good, but just don''''t put it inside your car. know why? cause you will race someone and they will beat you, and next thing you know you will want to add +5 psi to beat him and gonna break your engine... IMO it''''s better under the hood.

RE: Turboing a 1994 acoord - 8/17/2008 10:03:26 PM    blinkz0rz Posts: 100 Joined: 8/13/2008 Status: offline Well what is the turbo from the Daytona? If you can get it it to fit without much customization then yes, you should be able to. If anything, you would need a kit to make sure everything runs good and reliable on the engine. There''''s more work to installing a turbo than just throwing it onto the exhaust manifold and having more horsepower. Tuning is the most crucial thing for Turbos. If you can properly tune an engine with a turbo, you don''t have to build the bottom end necessarily. HondaTuning did a 500hp setup on a B16A with only installing new pistons, and tuned it extensively to handle 24lbs of boost. < Message edited by blinkz0rz -- 8/17/2008 10:10:34 PM > _____________________________ 02 Accord SE coupe F23A1 SRI (in reply to clutch811) Post #: 28
