Project Acclipse underway!!

[Accord R33]

what did you use to drill the manifold?

[Boost_Lee]

what size diameter is that pipe? also, is that the only pic of te manifold u have? I need to see how you drilled it so I can ensure that my turbo is AC compatable. thanks

My friend at DSI motorsports just did it for me with an air grinder. i think he probably used a long thin cutting bit but ill ask him to be sure. I did have to widen a few of the holes with my rotary tool.
The pipes are 2.5 inch aluminum and the section coming up to the intake manifold is 3 inch. might be some lag issues but i used what i had.
The only thing i think that would make your manifold interfere with the A/C is the o2 sensor housing, mine wouldnt fit so i "presuaded" the A/C line to give up some space with a hammer. After a little grinding on the o2 housing i managed to squeeze it in there.

heres the oil pan. good ol JB Weld doing its job!!!

[ringmaster]

so does anyone know off hand what the oil inlet thread pitch on the 14b is? also the size of the fitting??? my stealthmode kit provided a fitting but im not sure its the right one or else my turbo is just messed. just turns round and round in the hole. and yes its in the right way.

[Hanzino]

was it a good idea to Jb weld it on the inside? wont th oil eventually make it wear and then prolly mix in wiht your oil? off topic, but just what a i have heard from severle turbo guys so be carefully......

its a 1/4" npt thread. your turbo might be stripped unfortunatly. happens more often than you would think. i ended up having to get teh stock DSM oil feed line to get mine to stop leaking.

wow, keep up the great work!!!

looks like ur doing the job right!

[ringmaster]

has anyone else heard anything about this oil thing??? disolving the JB weld??
this is bothering me

[MRX]

ya know...for asking me all sorts of crazy questions u sure did come up with a great way to mount the IC lol. The chip is on its way.

[ringmaster]

yes yes indeed... well i DO value all your advice Midnight and thanks for putting up with me always PMing you!! actually id like to thank R33 and everyone on here that has contributed somthing to my project or offered some advice. Without you guys it wouldnt be happening.

I plan to finish the IC pipes tonight and possibly put in the injectors so ill post some pics when i get a chance.

Here is the JB weld info right from the site:

Q: How much heat can J-B Weld withstand?
A: J-B Weld (Part # 8265-S, 8265, and 8280) can withstand a constant temperature of 500 degrees F. The maximum temperature threshold is approximately 600 degrees F for a short term (10 minutes).

Q: Is J-B Weld resistant to water and/or gasoline?
A: When fully cured, J-B Weld is completely resistant to water, gasoline, and about every other petroleum product or automotive chemical. For wet-surface or submerged water or gasoline repairs, see our J-B Stik or Waterweld product information.

So just to be sure I could use it in the oil pan I e mailed the company to see if it would be effected by the oil and they wrote back: "No, once cured the weld will not be affected by the oil."

so im going to try it.

[MRX]

plenty of ppl have done it. PM me i made a small error and will be sending you another chip in addition to the one on its way

[ringmaster]

My progress for today includes:

putting in the injectors:
did anyone inhale that sick dust that came off the solid O - Ring when you hollow it out? damn its nasty and i couldnt stop coughing. I had to use the o rings off the accord injectors to get the 450s into the fuel rail. I found that those fat DSM ones were near impossible to get in.


finished the charge pipes:


and put my prototype hollow front bumper on no protection in case of a crash here


recieved this bit of engine BLING in the mail today

[Hanzino]

cool about the Jb weld dude...i just wanted to make sure because i was only going off of what i have heard, but great research on it and good luck finishing ur turbo.....
