92 Accord Turboed

[TurboACCORD]

Some pics... Not many good ones yet though because of the weather =[ Some of the pics are of my spark wires... they caught fire when the fuel MAP sensor was accidently plugged in (vacuum line from the wastegate got fried too lol). VERY scary situation lol...

Oh, and don't make fun of my paint job... A lot of body work had to be done! Just waiting for it to get warmer so I can paint it...

what does it run?

 

[TurboACCORD]

matttt dude.

it's larry lol

anyway, ya know i'm not even sure yet. I still need to get it tuned. The thing will cut out every now and then when i get up to 6 or 7 grand. Plus there's a bad exhaust leak right before the turbo =\

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

lol u bought this? not to bad , hate those body styles though

 

[TurboACCORD]

Yeah I got quite the deal too. Asked $3k and got it for $1700. I love the body. The 2dr accords are my favys BUT I'm a sucker for hatch backs. That was the one disappointment I had with this. The guy I bought it from bought a supercharged S10 the day he sold the Accord to me. He drove it over and oh man it was a beauty lol

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

lol nice, i still have to sell this integra, and i have ur money

 

[TurboACCORD]

Well I'm in no hurry for the money, just as long as i get it lol :nuts:

Since I'm gonna have somewhere around 650cc injectors pumpin out 51 lbs/hr of fuel in that thing, I want to have another *reliable* car to drive around. So if you haven't sold the teg when summer comes around I may be interested...

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

hm sounds good. who knows when that thing is going to selll lol. ive been lazy on that.

 

[TurboACCORD]

I know dude. I was the same way with my car lol
I drove by your place a few days ago to see if you were home and she was still sittin under like 3 inches of snow lmfao
That car has some MAJOR potential. Definitely one of my favorite body styles.

Actually...

heh...

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

hahahah there she is lol... and ya it was buried lmao. it alreayd has a racing suspension and exhaust/headers.. it drives nice

 

[TurboACCORD]

I know. I love the sound it's got. The good ol' hearty honda sound. I'll get the occasional pop on mine, but that thing was full of great exhaust sounds lol. The only problem with the teg was the syncro kept pushing the shifter out of gear. Mechanic said it would get worse over time.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

lol good thing syncros can be replaced haha

 

[TurboACCORD]

Yep yep.

Well let me know when I can swing by and pick up the money. Or if you wanna stop by on your way somewhere, just hit me up and let me know.

Maybe you could get a close look at the car while you're at it lol.

The good ol' hearty honda sound.

Sorry...Welcome!!!! :hay: What size turbo?

 

[Mook]

yea, for sure need a list of engine mods

welcome by the way

 

[TurboACCORD]

Well the engine is completely rebuilt. Nothing aftermarket, just OEM parts. Everything from pistons, rods, to head gaskets, etc.

I'm having it dynoed and tuned in the near future, so I will have the exact specs soon. I'm guessing it's pushing 250 hp at 8psi. So you do the math :biggthump:

I'm a friend of wombat's and silentd... So I've heard some chat about these forums... heh

 

[Mook]

what size turbo tho?

 

[TurboACCORD]

Oh, and the turbo! Sorry lol... I believe it's off an Eagle Talon tsi. Not sure what year.

 

[Mook]

so you're basic run of the mill mitsu turbo....like a t25 or a 14b...i think have those names right

 

[TurboACCORD]

I believe so. Either that or it's one of the nice shiny chrome ones straight from eBay :hsughno:


just kiddingggg! lol

 

[wombat]

lol looks good larry finally getting posting huh?

Matt, you need to do something with the integra....with the way the weathers gonna be, you're going to get tickets for one, and two it's gonna rot to hell...

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

[wombat]
