H22 Turbo Build

[Warudakumi]

Something came in today...

Nice! Thats the exact header I wanted to order...but I can't live without A/C unfortunately because Cali weather is moody as hell lately! I'm going to end up buying a Peakboost Quick4AC if I plan to keep my car a daily driver. I can't drive my car on rainy or cold days without the window fogging up with no A/C to blast that foggyness away.

What size intercooler piping are you going to do? I'm in the process of ordering 3" piping and my intercooler should be here by the end of the week. Lemme know when you do your intercooler piping i'm curious to see how you will route it!

sweetness, is Benson doing your work, this is where I am opting to do mine!

edit: nevermind question answered on page 2 with benson stamp on block!

I am excited to see what your going to put down, 400 on low boost still goal?

And I do drool!

So where did you have your head built? You say it's in California. Is bisimoto in charge of it? I hope everything goes well with the rest of your build.

I actually just got the head back yesterday! Both the head and block were sent out to Laskey Racing. Thanks bro, me too

this is thread jacking due to the fact that this is about another guys turbo build up. Not a learning thread. It was made so lilpat93accord can show us the progress hes making and the pure sex of his build Pretty much to make us drool over him and his glory. Many of us just love to see the progress of peoples build and how much time, effort, money and dedication to come out with their finished product.

IT is somewhat of a learning process to see what is needed to go into a build to come out with a great finished product and for some people to see whats needed to achieve their power goals but not really the best palce to ask questions on whats required to put a kit of your own together.

Ok..enough of the thread jack..bro you still have a lot to learn and the Search button can be your friend..not tryna be a dick or anything

Didn't realize I was being a thread jack. I have an H22, I wanna build a turbo on it. That's what the thread is about I thought. And I'm using the ol' search button as well. Gotta start somewhere to get the knowledge, right?

On another note, I'm still waiting on the head to come back from Cali

By doing it right you mean not getting a huge turbo that I'd have to cut a hole in the hood for I presume? My old CB was NA and I want to go a different route with the one I have now. Unfortunately, I'm pretty uneducated in what's needed to do forced induction right. Any help or tips given will all be gratefully accepted.

keep reading, sounds like you still have a lot to learn.

by "doing it right" I mean not using too small of a turbo, using quality parts, and, most importantly, finding a good tuner to tune your ECU.

This is quoted the truth. There is no real reason to build the head if you don't plan to make insane power. The stock Honda head flows extremely well. Building the block is the best way to go. Even still on a stock setup on 7lbs, your able to still achieve good power on boost safely with a good tune.

If your boosting 25lbs, I hope your making over 600hp and not 400hp. at about 15lbs depending on turbo setup, you should be around 450hp on pump gas.

So what would be the recommended turbo size with a stock head and block? T3? Do most turbo setups, when purchased, come with the system (can't remember what it's called right now) to adjust the amount of boost lbs used?

And this may be a stupid question but, can a regular cold air intake still be used? Or would there need to be specifically routed tubes due to the turbo system?

Please be patient with my lame questions. I'm not planning on going for insane power but none the less want to do the setup right the first time.

Thanks again for the help.

it takes much more boost than that to make 450 unless you have a very large turbo.

1. The head already flows extremely well in stock form... rememeber it's a Honda, you don't need to modify the head on these engines until you want to get into the 600-1000hp world

2. Building the bottom end is way more important than rebuilding the head. That being said you still CAN be in the 300-400hp range safely with a stock bottom end BUT you have to do it RIGHT. Everything must be properly sized and properly tuned.

3. Installing a turbo in the CB engine bay is a piece of cake. It is very very very easy to work with... plenty of room.
