1993 Honda Accord LX turbo project (56k, grab a snickers)

First thing’s first, don’t blame me :eek4dance haha, I don’t agree with everything Chris chose for his turbo setup, but it is indeed HIS setup and so I had no say in the parts list :hitit: I actually wanted him to turbo this with a 14b and then build an h22… here goes

This is my cousin Chris’s 1993 Honda Accord LX that we’re turboing… I’ll post up more pics later and such and update it regularly.

Specs:

F22A1 (internally stock) 145k
SSAutoChrome DSM turbo manifold
SSAutoChrome Big 16g Turbo
TCC Work BOV
450CC DSM Injectors
2.5" I/O high flow cat
2.5" cat-back exhaust
2.5" I/ 4.5" O Vibrant performance muffler
2.5" “Chrome” Charge Piping

Here’s the car as it sits (looks wise) and how it was NA

Also got some DSM 450CC injectors, and Chris is supposed to send out the p06 (from a DX Civic) to get chipped for the Uberdata Fuel Management System soon, so we might have this running by next week (If he hurries up and stops being slow)

So, there she is. Critism welcome. :embarassd

Cool. Nice to see something diffrent. :bigok:

i agree

I love the Car and it looks like it is coming along good, but I have to say
SSAutoChrome DSM turbo manifold = Bad Idea
SSAutoChrome Big 16g Turbo = Even Worse
I hate to see all that work and time go to waste because of the failures that SSAutochrome is notorious for causing.Is This the Right Number For a EVO III 16g? | DSMtuners.com
And Yes 14b H22 would be excellent.

I’d like to know how this setup runs. That turbo on that motor should be a street terror.

“And Yes 14b H22 would be excellent.”

I didn’t mean a 14b on an H22… :bowrofl: That thing would be boosting 4 pounds at 1000 rpm’s I bet :scared:

and thanks guys. I hope it works out well for him.

Hate all you want its the best turbo out there.

It’s tiny and wouldn’t come close to pull the power an h22 can be capable of.

Wrong :down:

Ok, so what exactly are you trying to prove here?

Anyways, update.

got the BOV mounted on (finally) and all the intercooler piping squared away.

And a better shot of the Intercooler mounted

ECU was sent out today from John Kerr… if he gets the 450’s in we’ll have this thing running by Thursday!

hey dude that same thing i was going to try too. i like

He blew the headgasket :finger:

So that’ll be fun now.

Yeesh that thing is gonna be fast for about 3 miles. Then its guts will be EVERYWHERE.

that’s assuming the glued on compressor cover lasts 3 miles

Agreed

sometimes I wonder why I even come to this site :finger2:

So how do you figure it will be fun for 3 miles, hmm? Do you know shit about Honda’s?

And the “glued on turbo” was not an SSAutoChrome turbo FYI fuckface. It was a knockoff company (heh… a knockoff of a knockoff…) and it was a display turbo that they had cut purposely for a store.

not to be a dick or anything, but it looks pretty haggard. and the welds on the BOV are just nasty.

The only haggard part is coming off the turbo, and yes the welds are nasty. That’s how it came.

not really how i would do it or something i would even do BUT good job on getting it all together and running.
