[No1streetjustic]

Kool man i got a f22b aswell and im thinkin if i should just go H-series or keep my single cuz its movin pretty nice all motor...or boost?

bump for the rest of the turbo install to be done tomorrow. along with hours of tuning and money on gas...

no1streetjustice, do you mean single cam? if you do, you don't have the f22b, you have a f22b1/f22b2

today did some work. Got the battery in the trunk, the intercooler mounted, and the tb to intercooler piping done. tomorrow I need to go have the compressor flange made, then run the hot side piping. then wideband o2 and I'm done.

Question for all those that have installed a wideband, where do you splice into, the ecu or the 8(?) pin connector near the relay?

[92ex]

So I started doing charge pipes, Got the hole cut for the tb to cooler side, started grinding it all down, went to turn off my air compressor, and it started smoking and blowing sparks. Fuse blew, so I am somewhat delayed again. I was using it to saw/grind, so I may be able to do the "hot side" pipes today, but not sure. Tb to cooler side is done though. Wb and BOV is all that will be left. We might start welding the BOV on tonight, depending if my dad wants to fix the compressor or do my BOV. Update later tonight.

[Boost_Lee]

good job, i did all the cutting with a dremel just so u know...

did my wideband instructions help any?

[92ex]

wideband info helped a lot. Got it all figured out

Update: Everything is done, except for one f*cking pipe, and I don't have any pipe to fit from the hot side to the intercooler. All I need is like a 4 in long pipe that's kinda in the shape of a "S". So I have to wait till monday so I can go to the muffler shop and have them make that one pipe. Everything else is set to go, except the turbo timer. Still have to wire that in. sucks too, I spent 4 hrs today doing stuff to my car, and it comes down to one little pipe. Oh well, I'll let you guys know when I have it on.

for a few weeks now I have been trying to get this one last pipe made to fit to the intercooler. I went to meineke this morning and they said they couldn't do it. 3 muffler shops and no one can do it. I am going to search for a 90 degree silicone hose, and try something else, otherwise you guys might see my turbo kit up for sale...

[moneypitaccord]

(just some help man) if your dad can weld just take to elbow's and weld them together and voila you have your s pipe you need.

[92ex]

it's not exactly an S pipe, its a 90, then needs to be bent to fit to the intercooler. I have two ideas, I'm gonna see If I can get a 90 aluminum pipe, and see if meineke will bend the rest and have that fit, if not I'm gonna get a 90 silicone connector and have a small pipe bent a little go to the intercooler

[MRX]

thought about the flexible "hump" silicone connector. You at the discouraged stage right now...been there, just realize your almost done. And be prepared for something else to go wrong as soon as you start the motor. If you can draw up a quick representation of what the pipe needs to look like i could possibly help.

edit: i'm making a prediction right now...you'll be my successor.

we'll, the time has finally come. I saw my first bit of positive pressure inthe manifold today. I am running Iamanonymous' original f22b map with a lot more fuel and a good bit of ignition retard. My dad welded my BOV on tonight and I put together all my intercooler piping. On 93 octane and stock spark plugs, it runs pretty good. My boost gauge isn't working so I have to figure that out tomorrow, so right now I don't know how much boost I'm hitting. I wont go past 4k though, just safety till this thing has new plugs/tuned. Tomorrow will be an early morning of tuning before work at noon. As of right now, nothing has gone wrong(fingers crossed). I tripled checked everything to make sure I didn't miss anything. The motor pulls very nicely, but noticed in a 4th gear pull some lagging due to the ignition retard. It's got a lot more potential, and I'll be bringing it out in the next week or two.

Much thanks to Accord R33, Midnite Racer X, Iamanonymous, and anyone else I forgot for the help. I'll update tomorrow on the tuning process.

EDIT: Adam, I'll be calling you shortly so we can have a little tuning session, just posting this in case I can't call you.

sounds good...im glad to hear its pulling nicely...ive had my f22b sitting in my car for a while and my turbo plans keep getting delayed...but after reading this thread im going to get my turbo done...ill prolly run into similar probs too haha..good luck with the car man

[iamanonymous]

be careful with that map, it is OLD. check this link for an overview of my current settings in uber. take into consideration the difference in our internals as well...at 10 psi dont pass 23* until i do... just to be safe
oops forgot the link

yeah, the first slightly tuned map made for the f22b. I remember you saying you added 5% fuel and retarded timing a good bit, so it should be safe until I get my wbo2 on tonight. Plus I don't go past 3K.

Just switched to ngk 2 step colder plugs, 7f I think, gapped .28-.29.
