What parts, if any, of a turbo kit can i use without installing the turbo itself. Like maybe the Walbro fuel pump, FMU. I would like to have less to install later.

 

you can install the FMU and fuel pump. You can also install an timing related componenets if you are using an MSD boost timing master or something. You can also mount the intercooler if you reall want to, you'll just need to know the posistion of it and cover the ends with tape so water and dirt doesn't collect inside. That's about all I can think of...

 

And the map bypass can be installed, but depending on which year accord you have you will have little room to screw it down.

 

So with the FMU and pump outta the way, besides the oil line everything else kinda pops into place. Well besides the cooler piping. I dont know what to use for a boost controller, it comes with a manual one. But a electronic would be more fun to play with, any suggestions?

 

ahh forgot about the map bypass - that was the first thing I installed... thanks marbro.

I'd keep the manual one for now. you don't need a fancy one yet. I wouldn't even increase the boost untill you are comfy with the way the engine handles the turbo. What is the wastegate spring set to?

 

I bought a 8psi spring, cause i heard you say yours was a 15 or something[:'(]

All i have right now is the oil line and WG spring, LOL. I try to save money for if but i have a girlfriend...

 

yeah, mine was supposed to be 6 but it was 15. my motor loved that test run...

8 psi is fine for now, you'll make plenty of tire smoke with that much pressure!

Yeah, I can't even think of how fast my car would be if I wasn't engaged and stuff..

 

With my next check im buyin the map bypass and FMU or fuel pump. Would you see a problem using one over the other for now. Its another 2 weeks till next check.

 

you'll need them both, but it doesn't matter which you buy and install first.
