jmolina's: 1992 accord Turbo Build

[jmolina]

you just made me smile,

but if you mount the intercooler by the battery doesn't that eliminate the idea of an intercooler?
i could run the pipes straight to the intake mani

[judonoh]

boost creep happens when you have it set to 15 but it increases up a few points. there are a few reasons it happens. If you plan on running 11 psi prep everything to see 13-14psi

[jmolina]

i only plan on running 7-8psi, will the turbonetics wastegate hold?

[dbsharp]

deathgates why? whats wrong with those wastegates? i will get a new BOV though, to save me the welding job

Dude, dont worry about the delta gate. Just make sure the diaphragm is still good. That waste gate will flow enough to handle your hp goals. If your worried, tell the tuner to add a boost cut 1psi or so above what your setup sees.

What manifold are you going to use?

yeah the inside seems to be new and intacted.

i'm using a cast iron manifold(EBAY) i'm buying from a member here, should be shipped this week

[boosted4door]

get a tial 38 mm wastegate 250 $$ but there good

[DRQPQUT]

a good rule of thumb to remember is that your power goal may only be 250 but thats only untill you make it.then once you accomplish that goal its gonna go to 300 ,then 350 blah blah blah its better to buy quality parts the 1st time around that way your not buying some knock off bullshit then selling knock off bullshit to finance quality part in the long run you will actually save a little money F.Y.I..... you can pick up a used tial for about 175..

[gdout90accord]

ay i still have the 560cc injectors lmk if you want it.

i'll get boost hungry afterwards and all my parts are quality FYI except the BOV, which will be replaced.

aright bro, when i get extra $$$ i'll get it off your hands

[jmolina]

so i got pulled over today, and i got a feeling its gonna be a big ticket but i hope not. as of now the turbo is on hold.

[1991f22a1]

[jmolina]

u were racing werent you

what do u mean??

[Ander]

He means you got pulled over for racing, didn't you? lol.

[jmolina]

^^^oh the ticket!!! i thought he meant today, cause he always sees me driving around

no it wasn't for racing, i was going 70, the lady cop paced me at 78...she had no proof i was going 78mph, the jaguar infront of me was going the same rate of speed along with everyone else, but she picked me to pull over...i don't now why

It's because you drive a compact car that looks modified. I guaruntee that's the reason you were pulled over.

That particular wastegate can be risky, like the other guys said. I'd replace it, but that's just me.

This looks like a nice, cheap turbo setup you've got going on. I like it and I hope you meet your goal.

What size is that intercooler though? It looks pretty small to me, and you may need to upgrade?
