My new turbo project...
 

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.

Nice! Looks good. Good to see my turbo went to something like that. nice job!

Where is the bov?

Re: My new turbo project...
 

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

Re: My new turbo project...
 

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.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

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.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

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.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

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..

Re: My new turbo project...
 

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

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Yes, they all did come with a 2.2. The lx and dx came with the a1/a4 f-series motor, while the ex, and the se came with the f22a6. This motor had a little different caming, different head, and yields about 10 extra hp..

your going to love this song once your turbo is done. thanks INDIEP

Re: My new turbo project...
 

w/o VTEC, you just aren't ballin' :(

Re: My new turbo project...
 

I guess I didnt realize it was an accord. I thought I saw a civic. My bad.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Joe, that song is too fucking funny.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Haha, that song is great!

Re: My new turbo project...
 

hahahha that was a great song, im gonna blast that song in my honda when i get er running.

[QUOTE=2003eclipse]best of luck to ya man. turbo hondas are the dope shit.




I’m going to load that song on the MP3 and rock out in the Laser.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Haha that was an awesome song!

Re: My new turbo project...
 

That song is too true to life. "Blowing smoke and beating minivans" describes most of those homemade turbo D-series setups. 160whp beotch.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

DID I JUST DETECT A TOTAL SMACKDOWN WITH A QUICKNESS or?

2 funny!

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Gah! All this honda love...someone over on the mn3s board is turboing a 3G Eclipse:

Re: My new turbo project...
 

What does this mean?

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Man does that look like a major PIA or what!

Re: My new turbo project...
 

They tend to run way too much timing and blow up. Lowering the compression isn't enough, something to do be done about the timing.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Not even just that I dont see how thats going to fit back into the car. My friends was single turbo'd and that thing barrely fit under the hood also... I'd like to see that finished and in the car.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

UPDATE, chipped ecu is here, will install tomorrow, then custom downpipe, and its alive...

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Did the turbo 3g in St. Paul blow up (blue one)? Any idea what he made for #'s? I thought he was in the 300's with the 16g and SMIC.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

I am not exactly sure what car you mean. Was it the one with the built motor? We tried tuning one once with a lower compression built motor, and it would just audibly detonate like crazy.

Re: My new turbo project...
 

Yeah, that is the one. He had a built motor, a 16g, SMIC, etc. Almost fooled us last year but the 20g was enough. I talked to him a bit about possibly getting a MSD unit of some kind to retard timing a bit. Wondering if he blew it up or if it was another kid.

Do We have to setup a race?
