Was just browsing around Google to find a new board where I can help others and learn more about Hondas, particularly Accords.

A little history, got the car when I was 15 with 104k miles. Drove it till 136k, slapped a turbo on it's belt, beat on it with an automatic tranny, then converted it at 151k miles to a stick and a rebuilt motor.

What it looks like.

high-5 for 5gs. welcome to the forum, thats a nice turbo set up you got there. what numbers are you putting down?

 

Thanks, I wish I knew what I was putting down to the wheels. I know it's more than 115hp. I'll be hopefully tuning it this weekend to 10lbs on the street.

 

stock rebuild motor? or forged?

 

Everything is stock OEM internally except headstuds. I wanted to go forged but prices for those things killed me. I invested a little over 1k in the rebuild and that was enough for me, since it is my daily driver.


EDIT: Now that I'm thinking I did the F23 manifold swap, so I guess you could say it's a little different...

 

well i was talking internally, seeing the f22 has iron cylinder walls stock you can run forged without sleeving.

 

10 psi on stock internals? I hope it holds up!

 

Oh I intend on making it hold up. A man on HMT did it, with a bigger turbo then mine, and ran 17lbs on a 57 trim ching chong off ebay before he blew a coupler.

 

I wouldn't push that much on stock internals and my engine was tweaked to handle 10 psi from the TRD SC ..... de-tuned to 7psi for production.

I'd imagine that you have a lot more power than you think. A friend from CStC has his tC boosted at 9.4 psi peak and he's putting down 310whp and 272wtq from a T3/38. I'd expect that even a 16g would put down 200whp at 10 psi. What size injectors do you have?

 

You guys are really going to hate me and tell me that running the stock 240's and stock ecu is a bad thing, but that's where I'm at with it. 3lbs of boost is what I'm seeing too. It's not drastic.
