with the corn.
Been a member of this forum for a while now, figured maybe i should post up a few pictures.

Bought this accord a little over a year ago litterally bone stock for 2500. 190k miles, very clean body and ran perfect. Wanted to have a little fun with it (actually i just wanted a front mount hanging out the bumper.. ;)) and boosted it on a budget. Mods are listed below

Ported STR turbo manifold
Emusa 38mm wastegate with a Tial spring
Custom downpipe, only replaces the stock header. uses stock exhaust from there back.
Plummed in wastegate
NGK plugs one step colder
NGK wires
New cap/rotor
typical Ebay turbocharger
2.5" intercooler piping and intercooler, all t bolt clamps
Missing link and other honda map sensor, one that doesnt bolt into the TB
3 gauge A pillar pod
Autometer oil pressure gauge
Autometer boost/vac gauge
AEM UEGO sensor
HKS blow off
Stock fuel :)
Short shifter made even shorter
Timing belt and all seals replaced.
15% tint

Kept cruise control, power steering and air conditioning.



Only running 4psi due to no fuel adders. At WOT im at high 15's AFR.. cry if you want, there is nothing wrong with it at this PSI/power output.

Ebay turbo...:skurred:

I love that the only mods are under the hood though, haven't seen that much if at all.

Nice MX-6. :)

How much did this build eventually end up costing you ? And why don't you go up to 6-8psi ? I don't think you'd need any fuel system upgrades for just 6-8 psi .. right .. ?

if hes already at 15AFR at 4,theres no way he can run 6 without any mods.
im at 7psi and I need the 12:1 FMU to stay at 12-12.6AFR.
but hopfully it was cheap because even my setup making 217whp untuned was a waste of $$ for now.

I'm also curious to see how much this cost. Not gonna do this to my car, but from what I've seen even Ebay turbo setups can get pretty pricey.

Nice MX-6, is it tuned?

If you're on FMU, the Accord is not tuned probably. Good luck dailying it! Also, it's spelled 'plumbed'. The bolt-on turbo kit should be good at 4psi no problem. Why would you replace the MAP sensor instead of using the stock one? Stock is good for 10.66 PSI. Which MAP sensor did you replace it with? A GM 3-BAR? Just wondering which one you ended up using there.

Props on the sleeper status, that's legit.
