Oh you know, gotta check on my 6th gen fellows. Have a shop of my own in atlanta called EBTEC, check it out on fb/yt/ig if you guys are bored. Still got my 6th gen pics hanging in the shop!
Re: Going for a re-tune.... (Round #2) Updated 9/18/13
use a torch to heat it up and get it broken loose, or if it is too far gone weld a nut to the bolt and get it off. Or you can try the rounded bolt extractors from sears, hammer on and turn off dont use an impact on this method.
Your turbo manifold was fabricated in house, just like the rest of your components. The wastegate placement is directly off the collector, and center, no boost creep issues and no crazy noise. Just for the record :)
Sorry, I have to check some people since I haven't been here in a while
1 st 250-280 whp you can do all day everyday on stock motor no issues. I have proven that you can make 320+whp on a stock motor w/ headstuds.
2nd once you start running 13+ psi the factory pistons will decide that the...
I hope by front pulley, you mean tensioner pulley since you cant get rid of the actual balance shaft gear on the crank, since it triggers tdc and ckp i believe. You wont even notice they're gone.

Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt)
Now you're making me question it lol, I am not 100% but I think they're press fit. I guess I could look for ya, I have a few pistons laying around. I didn't have stock rods so it didnt really matter to me much.
Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt)
I was going to buy those 10.5:1 pistons someone has for sale on here and throw them in my boosted motor, it would be ****ing awesome.
I haven't tried putting K series pistons in an F23 yet, but if the compression height is not too...
Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt)
Ok, well I have seen some people mix up the terminology.
You should have the machine shop install main studs, torque to spec then check for roundness. However you really don't need the main studs. ( I didn't run them in my setup) If...
Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt)
Because MAIN studs go in the girdle that hold the crank..
HEAD studs are what hold the head down, if you just had a simple typo then no need in a line bore/hone. But main studs will oval the bearing spots in the block because of the...
Sometimes bigger turbine's wont spin at idle if they're journal bearing. However the white smoke coming from inbetween the downpipe and turbine housing sounds like the rear seal of the turbo is leaking.
