I found this site that sells Drag turbo kits, and I have never heard of that particular brand. It claims it will add 80-100 HP at 7-8 PSI and theprice on the kit is pretty good, $2700. The turbo kit would be going on my 99 accord F23A1. I was just wandering if anyone knew of the quality of these kits and if you would recommend buying it. Here isthe link::

Im wondering the same thing, I looked at them and was wondering if they would be reliable enuff for everyday driving.....

 

its looks real good actually, The stuff looks strong, PLus your getting warrenty on some of the stuff which is a big bonus i think. Overall looks like a great kit, they give you everything you need, except for the tranny cooler, which your gonna need if you plan on runnning turbo. youve got a automatic right?

 

Yes I have an 2.3 liter V-tec, 4 cyl. automatic. I heard somewhere that I need an oil cooler too. Is this necessary?

 

you will need a transmission cooler usually those are only a two pass for what ive seen, but if you plan on running high boost no transmission cooler will be big enough to save it. But yeah, drag turbo kits are good, i have a drag manifold sitting in my room and im waiting til i have enough to get the downpipe,

 

j-man how much you planning to boost on the motor?

 

Around 6-8 psi. Nothing too crazy. I don't want to get too involved with my motor. I'm not trying to build a race car. Just a car that looks quick and has some horsepower to back it up.

 

Better check into a torque converter for that auto. TCI or Level 10 could hook you up. A good converter that "locks up" and doesn't slip will make your car .2 to .3 faster. Like the other guys said get a cooler too. I'm sure an off the shelf trans cooler from Advance Auto would do the trick.

What inch torque convertor do I need? Not sure.

 

I'll find out with a price and get back to ya. Transynd transmission fluid it top notch stuff. Guys making well over 1000 ft-lb of torque @ the wheels in diesel trucks use this with great results. I'll be draining mine here soon and replacing it with this stuff. Full syn. and gives the clutches more bite.

Anyone got anything to say about the Magnefine trans filter?
