Newbie to the site w. Turbo'd F22
hello all,Ive been a honda-tech member since 02 and recently found out about this site. of course being an accord owner i had to join!!! here is my story.
Basically i have had thisAccord for its entire life.I bought it when it had 10k on it, the chassis is over 100k now. i loved everything about this car, .... except in 1994,Hondawasnt exactly pumping out k series power plants like they are now, so my honda was def lacking some *****!!!!! it felt like a Heavy Chevy with chrome 22's it was so slow[8D]so i went all motor thinking i could make it fast and reliablethis route, well a few grand later and only as fast as a stock GT mustang i was disappointed !!!this carneeded more, i just wasnt satisfied.
My friend had a turbo LS integra, i drove it once and was in love with the power of boost. after seeing the constant maint of turbo i was weary... so i held off as long as possible.Afteryears of researching forced induction, recentlyi finally gave in.i found out thatthe F isone of the lowest compression honda motors with the most displacemnt, its almost as if honda forgot to put the turbo on at the factory !!! soi started building this motor with new power goals. soi mildly built thef22 motor, and wentwith a t3/t04e turbocharger.i had no garage at the timeof my build and it was the middle ofsummer outside shadetree style in FLORIDA !! now looking backi laugh at myself but the ambition of having power was all that was on my mind. Finally !!! i was done,goingfrom na to a forced induction motor is such a feeling.. it is undiscribable,if u have modded your honda for boostu know what im talking about.no words can explain that intial start to hear/feel the turbo at idle..NOTHING !!!! ...next is somefresh new maroon paint..one day!!!
enjoy the pics and feel free to leave some comments.
