Hi all! I have a 92 Honda Accord. When I first got the car, it was automatic, butit wasn't there on long...I did a manual conversion.I then assembled a kitthat took mea couple of months to put together, butnow the car is a blast to drive. So far I have...
f22a1 block/a6 head SOHC
h23 intake manifold/TB
DSM 2g turbo manifold
DSM blow off valve
DSM 450cc injectors "blacktops"
Small 16g turbocharger
Front mount intercooler
p06/Uberdata
oil lines/oil resistor
home made catch can
ebay ic pipes/"silicone" couplers<-crap
Wideband o2 sensor/boost guage/oil pressure guage
Custom downpipe/exhaust
NO exterior mods!
That's what I have been up to. Numerous hours of research has been put into this,and I still have a long way to go. Wastegate is set at 8psi,but boost creep is starting to make me nervous. (A little porting should help eliminate it) Other than that, I haven't had major problems thus far. I have been boosted about three months now. Ask away if youhave questions...

 

Boosting my car is definitely in my (distant) future, but I dont know a whole lot about it. What is "boost creep"? Did you do all the work yourself? How did you tune it, did you run it on the dyno? And finally, got any pictures?

 

I will be at 8psi, but when I get on the gas, boost jumps up to around 11-12psi. That is known as boost creep... The internal wastegate can not flow enough exhaust to bypass the turbine. Like I said before, porting should eliminate it. Tuning with Uber/wideband o2 sensor/Ostrich (real time programming) made street tuning easy. I do everything myself... Letting other people do the work is no fun.

I don't have pics becuase I don't have a camera. My sister does, so when I get a hold of it, I will create a thread.

 

If you have a Honda Tuner Shop in your area of the country, they can really get you set up correctly..

"Honda tuner shops" usually charge up the *** for something as simple as a swap. I don't let other people work on the car.
