You can search the forum for keywords, like turbo build f23, or something along those lines.
It just depends on what your looking for. Yes, the F23 is a good engine because its not high compression, but it aint that low either...its pretty good to boost stock.

spend a year or so researching..saving money..do it once the right way..very easy to waste money and blow an engine.
theres a handful of f23 boosters around here..including myself.

Yeah seen a couple stories were they blow the engine after a lot of money invested, which kinda sucks. So i don't wanna end up doing that. And thanks for the advice
My advice would be to stay away from turbo kits, at least for the accord. Since the accord is not the most popular car to boost there are only a couple of kits and they are garbage. I would say find yourself a good size turbo, such as a GT30R or a GT28R (the 28 is a little smaller and will spool faster but the 30 has the capacity to flow enough air for 500hp in case u plan to upgrade and you won't need as much boost to make the same power seeing as it flows more air).
The rest of the parts would go as follows:
Turbo manifold i would go with spoolin performance.
Tial 38mm Wastegate
greddy or tial BOV
rc injectors 450 or higher depending on future plans
walbro 255lph fuel pump
engine management AEM(if u got money) or go obd1 and tune with chrome, uberdata or something like that
intercooler probably something from spoolin performance that fits your size requirements
For the intercooler piping and downpipe/exhaust system i would get a welder to make you custom parts
**And the most important step would be to get a good tuner than properly tune your programable ecu**

Do your research on the right people too. I had a horrible experience with too many wrong people. Once i found who NOT to use, it worked great....
And honestly, if you know the shop (that you choose) does good metal work, why not have them build you a manifold/IC piping and everything? It will be a million times better than any "kit" you can buy.
The F23 is limited by the single cam. Other than that, if its done right, the F23 is a great boosted motor to a point. Re-build it, and there aren't too many limits. Just be prepared to pay a little more. Alot of things for our motor arent necessarily readily available.
And make sure you have a knowledgable tuner and the right engine management system.
LOTS AND LOTS of research.

When people say fully built motor what exactly does that mean?

1 a gt2871r will not make 500 hp
2. AEM is cool, but over priced, you still wont pass emissions when you can get a hondata or crome system to do the same thing.
3. Use name brand parts for things like turbo,wastegate,bov.
4. injectors 450cc or above as stated, but for a stock motor you will be fine with max 560cc's as you probably don't want to blow it up running more than 12 psi.
5. If you intend on running more than 12 psi you will need a new map sensor.
6. t3 framed turbo small exhaust housing,quick spool,decent powerband since you cant rev out far.
