My new turbo project...

[b00stingsx]

well, since i sold my eclipse, i miss boost every day, so i started doing this (no making fun, i know its a honda, but its reliable):

http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/526251/ (page 3 is the honda).
I will be running 8psi on a t25, 2.2L SOHC non vtec, 1g sidemount, 1g injectors, chipped ecu (uberdata). I just tore it apart the other day, and im almost done. just need the ecu, a downpipe,ll the oil pan drilled for the return line, and some other small misc things.

I am going for inexpensive here, but im not skipping out on anything.

I know that the location of the sidemount isnt the greatest, but thats all i could do for now. I am kind of thinking up a way to put an evolution style vent in the hood above the sidemount, and then having a elec fan under the smic, so it pulls in exterior cool air. Has to be weather proof somehow (this might make it hard). If anyone has any ideas, post away!

The Honda, will be like driving a stock fwd turbo laser. But you will get more respect from some people, you know some people think its better to take a non-turbo car and make it turbo.

Where is the bov?

Where is the bov?

its hidden under the uicp, 2g bov (yeah i know it is weak)...

[JustROLLIN]

Details? Where did you score the EX? How much? How many miles? Etc.

Also, what engine is the 2.2? Where did you get it from? And why did you decide to run that engine versus the 1.6 vtec that it comes with?

I am curious as I am looking for a similar car.

As for the IC, I know that 2003Eclipse and his friends had a similar location for the same sidemount on a CRX. What they decided to do until he got a front mount was to cut small fins in the hood. The fins helped to redirect the air onto the SMIC. Just a thought.

i got a 1g bov and elbow for sale ;) Its always weird pulling up to a honda and hearing it blow off.. throws me off for a couple seconds. lol. I heard you need an o2 housing or something? I have an o2 for a 14b if you need that.

You did EXACTLY what I had planned for that car..except for the fmic, and 14b. Good job..I am glad it went to someone to take it to that level..

The car was bought originally for 2800 by me, from a college student at u of m. Well, I put more money into it, with the rims, hids, lowered it, projector headlights, carbon fiber tails and a new trunk( they don't make taillights for the coupes) and a bunch of other shit. We pretty much traded cars, and when i handed it over, it had 114k on the car, and about 65k on the motor( the motor was swapped outta a 93 ex coupe-f22a6, and the guy says he built it, but i don't believe it, as i have not seen any recipts or other shit) For all i know, you got a pot of gold john, but i didn't wanna run with that notion, so i did the respectable thing, and sold it as if it was a stock motor. I hope that we can meet up sometime soon, and work out that pipe, and think of some air intake ideas for that smic..glad to see it going so well..

If that's an accord didn't they all come with the 2.2?
