Turbo Question!!!

[FutureFED]

Hello peeps, this is my first post.
95 accord with an H23a Vtec blue top.

I want to turbo for daily driver. Basically for sound. I have read this can be done with minimal to no engine upgrades. Please advise of a kit, and safe boost for daily driver and minimal engine upgrade. Thank you all in advance

So you want to spend $ to boost your car just for the sound?

I never understood that.

Im going to tell you know, you will get a lot of flack for that.

It's your car and your money, but it's not so easy and a lot of work for just the sound of a BOV.

And have you checked out cd5tuner.com??

Without replacing the pistons, your engine won't last long with turbo.

This is mostly for shows for now. Thanks anyway

I think there are companies that make sound effects kits to get turbo/supercharger sounds, basically its just a speaker thats placed in the engine bay or somewhere else exterior. I remember reading about them a while ago though. If all you want is the sound that would probably be the best route in order to save money and keep your DD reliable.

If you just want it for sound buy this - http://www.akamoto.co.uk/dump-valve.asp

If you want sound, AND for any one who knows simple basics to think that you ACTUALLY have a turbo - Then bolt on a DSM manifold and turbo, and run the piping to a closed dual setup BOV system, so one plumbback BOV bleeds excess pressure back to the intake (to prevent turbo damage) and the regular BOV actually makes the noise.




Otherwise buy another car and do it once, do it right.
Doing a turbo conversion on your DD is stupid.

i would also do this but route the piping into you cabin and into the airvents. that way when you slam on the gas it feels like your going super fast with the wind in yo face!

Let me explain further what I want. I am not looking to build a monster. Want to be reliable. Low boost cause this will be a vehicle driven a lot. So, the only upgrade recommended for low boost would be pistons? Again, not shooting for 400hp. Want to get some good info here before I go see a performance shop and they try and rebuild everything to make money.

I think that would be a better route if you can do it, then bothering would turbo'ng.

Not that you can't have a reliable turboed dd, but to get to that point, takes a lot of work on 20+ year old cars, or in your case, 18 years.

Im assuming you haven't done real maintenance on your car.

If you have, then disregard my post all together.

Reliability is going to be a bit difficult to achieve as you are working with a 20 year old car that did not come from the factory with a turbo.
There is a lot of info in the forced induction section as well.
In my opinion this is going to be a case of "Fast (Turbo), Reliable, Cheap - pick two"
I am sure someone with more experience can help more.

How much money you got to spend?




And if it's your Daily Driver then that means you only have 2 days to build it.
Saturday, then Sunday.
