Boosting an accord

[1NonlyAccord]

that turbo will work,decently small..i have a normal T3 on my F23 and i hit full boost around 4-4.5k depending on the load im giving it.
Your going to have to make an adapter to fit onto the manifold I assume,normal manifolds like Treadstone are for T3/T4 turbos off the line.

but just research,talk to other boosted accords and what not.

you've got a big project ahead of you if you want to put a turbo on, honestly there's so much work to properly turbo a N/A car that its anything but bolt-ons

tuning is the most important thing but to tune you must first choose your ECU, research.... good luck with the reasearch its gonna take a lot

since you mentioned ecu's, what kind of ecu should i get, because i dont know much about ecu's at all

From what I've learned there are a few different choices:
1. Complete swap, which would be like putting in a chipped P28. Read the 6th gen guide to turbocharging in the DIY section. Seems to be a popular option to getting good results.
2. Piggyback your existing ecu and use new injectors. This includes things like the VAFC hack. Or I guess greddy e-manage.
3. Keep factory ecu. You can use an FMU and missing link to keep your factory ecu. Probably cheapest and easiest, but you can only go to about 6 or 7 psi on the stock injectors.
Those are the things I would look into and then decide where you are going with this. Like they said you're going to be reading a lot.

if you absolutly have no way of tunning it,than either dont boost your car..or run with the 12:1-FMU/missing link combo.
That is a very very old school way of "managment" thats what im doing for time being,been fine since MAY.I was running 7.25 psi off the wastegate now down to 5psi due to my larger intercooler.
FMU-$less than 100$..Missing link-$30..vac.hose and fuel hose-$15.

Do not attempt the VAFC hack-it will be very expensive and will need knowledge of how to tune it yourself as well.
the hack will include-440cc-what ever you want(recommended 440-450cc),APEXI S-AFC or NEO...then to keep from detonation you will also need the MSD-BTM to retard timing once the safc advances it.

iv been trying to convert to OBD1;going with the Chipped P28 and run my 440cc injectors but just havnt had time and money.

its really all depends on budget..and your surroundings for shops.

bring it to me, I am in atlanta, and we have cars from tennessee come all the time to get tuned/ work done.

 

[accord boi]

Buy my FIC

I had the FMU/Missing link for a few weeks and it was terrible: idled rich, drove rich, and would sometimes die while coasting to a stop.

am new to the site but i also got a turbo charge accord am going with the p28 all the way

 

[EmMinODaGreaT]

This is what you need. If you want it done right

OBD2B- OBD1 conversion harness, ($100 from Boomslang.us)
Chipped P28 W/ Crome Gold,ECTUNE, whatever you prefer.... ($180) This will give you a basemap for what you need....
OBD1 IACV
450cc or higher injectors.
OBD1 injector clips, and depending on injectors possibly a resistor box. (found on older hondas)

This will be all you need to tune properly, of course you will also need a tuner to tune it.

hey thanks do have any links for the injectors ??
