Am I missing anything for this build?

So I recently just upgraded my turbo to a bigger one (shocker). Encase you are curious it is a Holset HY35 fully rebuilt, 0 miles. Anyways the problem this brings up is that the exhaust side is now 3in! So I have to redo my whole exhaust essentially to make it fit. Now I currently have a Megan Catback exhaust, it sounds nice and low nothing raspy, but the mufflers inlet is 2.5in. So I know the Apex WS2 is 3in inlet and like 4in outlet. Does anyone know or think that if I did a straight exhaust to that muffler if it would be raspy or super obnoxious. I don't mind it being loud just don't want it raspy or so loud like its open header or something. I hate civics that are so loud at low rpm and they are barely moving, so much noise for nothing.
Any feedback on this would be great!
Thanks!Last edited by ErMMaC; 10-21-2015, 10:35 PM.

I run a 3" exhaust. FYI - you'll have to replace the OEM cross memeber with an aftermarket one. I am on my 3rd exhaust in an attempt to quiet things down, so far no luck. But I run with no CAT or resonator. Currently running a magnaflow exhaust. I think if I put a resonator on and a different exhaust it will quiet down some. It's currently not civic fart can loud, it has its own level of loud. It doesn't sound like a 4 cylinder that's for sure, but there is a "drown" on the highway.
I wish it sounded like my dual exhaust TSX. Quiet everywhere until you punch it. I know it is possible but I'd have to pay more $ for a better exhaust system.

and kteller makes an exhaust thats 3" for us but needs to be welded together. It is the only one i know of. You can have a local exhaust shop make one for you, but i would ask for a quote first and then also ask them how much it would be for them to just weld the Kteller oneLast edited by 93redcb7; 10-22-2015, 01:30 PM.

As far as the traction bar goes I am sure I will get it once I put the block in and start putting some miles on to it. From reading it seems like they make one for our car and if not the 92-01 prelude bar fits as well? or something close to that range.
Thanks again 93redcb7!!

Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven't updated this thread in some time. I actually decided to do some headwork and then funds got tight for a little after I bought a new DD (2013 Fiat Abarth) so I couldn't do much. I do got some pictures I will add in a bit. In short though I will be assembling the head and bottom end tomorrow.
I did the following though over the past few months:
New Supertech Valve Guides
New Supertech 1mm Oversized Valves
New Supertech Valve Seals
New Brian Crower Dual Springs & Titanium Retainers
New Brian Crower H23 Turbo Camshafts
3-Angle Valve Job
H22 Skunk2 Intake Manifold & Adaptor
H22 Skunk2 Larger 74mm Throttle Body
AEM Adjustable Cam Gears
Hopefully all this goes well lol.. It has definitely been a money hole but I hope that the completion of this beast will be worth it!
Pictures Below
Other things I plan on doing now are ceramic coating my exhaust manifold and exhaust side of my turbo.
Also I'll snap some more pictures tomorrow after the head is assembledLast edited by ErMMaC; 05-11-2016, 07:05 PM.

Question though, why did you use the prelude traction bar opposed to the 90-93 cb chassis traction bar that innovative makes?Last edited by ErMMaC; 05-13-2016, 08:28 AM.

If I'm not mistaken, they didn't produce one for the Accord until enough people started buying the Prelude version to use on their Accords. Someone found out they were compatible and that information started trickling up to Innovative who decided to market it toward the Accord guys so the ones who weren't aware that it was compatible could get in on it.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

Also here are some more pics from yesterday!
If anyone is curious on the cam specs, Crower recommended the following:
Duration: 245 deg
Duration @ 0.050": 193 deg
Gross Lift: .440"
Also I was reading yesterday the instructions on the cams and it mentioned like 4 degrees of advance was also grinded into the cam? I gotta go find them to double check that but it was something of that nature.Last edited by ErMMaC; 05-13-2016, 08:23 AM.

Originally posted by ErMMaC View PostIll most definitely look into it! I briefly look over your thread and you are almost done! I plan on dropping my motor in the car in about 2 weeks or so without the turbo though. I want to break in the motor before I boost it. I am actually using the OBX manifold too, but I want to weld some reinforced bars to it and have it ceramic coated. Today my buddy and I just put the dual springs and retainers on. I forgot to purchase the cam seals and the motors locating dowl pins

Originally posted by 93redcb7 View Postthe manifold seems really sturdy, atleast mine does so im not going to worry about it. but why are you not boosting it when you put it in the car? ive always been told to drive the car how its going to be driven, which means boost
Really its just a "fail safe" on my end I'd hate for this thing to blow due to something dumb that I forgot or didn't do.

If I add the turbo from the beginning and the motor has an issue, the turbo will make the problem exponentially greater.

I would just do it all at once, but in the end it is your choice. Maybe ask your tuner what he thinks
