Turbo F22 project (56k grab a rope)

[Danno]

This is my cousin Chris's 1993 Honda Accord LX that we're turboing.. I'll post up more pics later and such and update it regularly.

Specs:

F22A1 (internally stock) 145k
SSAutoChrome DSM turbo manifold
SSAutoChrome Big 16g Turbo
2.5" I/O high flow cat
2.5" cat-back exhaust
2.5" I/4.5" O Vibrant performance muffler

Here's the car as it sits (looks wise) and how it was NA









This is it so far but we're ordering charge piping, a BOV, an intercooler and DSM 450's later this week :6 enjoy the pics
















First off, some good ole' fashion fun with a junk RX7




Owned.





Chris's Header removed (also the bumper and bumper support were removed at this point as well)

uh oh... Is that a 2-piece compressor housing? Hope you got a good warranty on that snail.

This can happen to you.

damn i heard those manifolds crack be very careful and be sure to breakout the gas welder to hold it down.

[KillerCam282]

The turbo looks pretty decent. I dont think they will experience too much problems with it.

[f20baccord]

ya that turbo looks nice, and I hope it doesn't crack right down the middle that would really suck.

ssautochrome have re-designed their manifolds so you won't get cracks and such that made them famous back in the day.

The Almost Turbo F22 project (56k grab a rope)



Who needs a toolbox.. phh... :1



Goodbye NA!



Mmm metal tastes sooo good




Bill grindin some oil off (it was on there thick)



Grinding through the head flange to make the DSM work for the Accord :6



Bumper before I had my way with it >




After (A fatty FMIC would fit in there great.. currently trying to convince him into buying a CCA intercooler)



Manifold kinda-sorta on :P

Chris called me a bit ago and said he got everything done so the manifold sits flush to the head like its supposed to... tomorrow we'll probably throw the turbo on and wait for parts to arrive

Juan's right, these are the new manifolds and new turbo's (he changed vendors) so we'll see how she lasts.

Bump for updated thread.

Def. Needs body work, but I talked Chris out of putting a body kit on in favor of going turbo... we'll see what he does here soon.

We're gonna get a p06 chipped for Uberdata and use that!

I will continue posting pictures of all of the progress.

I diff like to know how the SSAC mani and turbo holds up....wierd looking valvecover btw...

[d112crzy]

I'm sure the manifold will hold up, it's the turbo I'm worried about. I know they have really worked on making the manifold design better and I'm starting to hear good things about those manifolds. But not the turbos, not yet at least.

I have thought about getting one too, but I need a t4 flange...

[d112crzy]

I can't wait to see the end results for this project. Like i said, I'm only worried about the turbo, so yea. lol, I would have an extra housing around just in case.

90boostedaccord said in the thread on HMT that his has held for well over a year

I'm already getting a DSM manifold and gonna shop around for other parts "just in case"... SSAuto seems to have changed his tune but we shall see

just wish they had a t4 flange for my massive turbo...
