my F22 turbo project

[Accord R33]

I know guys like Wiked, bustedLX, midnite and some others have already seen this on hmt, but here it is for the rest of you.


***I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO SAY THAT I KNOW THE INSTALL EXTREEMLY MESSY BUT I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING EVERYTHING AND MAKING IT LOOK NICE NOW. PLEASE EXCUSE THE MESS. THANKS.***



well i am now officially boosting 8psi on a stock F22. here are some pics and some brief explinations to go along with it.

ill start with the parts:

stock DSM manifold with redrilled mounting holes to fit the F22


DSM 450cc injectors


TDO5h (14b) turbo. no shaft play, great condition.


Oil feed/drain kit from stealthmodeperformance.com


Mitsu. Starion Front mount Intercooler (works amazingly well)

[Accord R33]

The first thing i did was drain the oil out of the engine completely. after as much of the oil was out of the engine as possible..i removed the oil pan to prep for the oil return line. i drilled a 5/8" hole, threaded the fitting into the pan and JB welded the shit out of both sides. we put it aside to set overnight while we did the rest of the setup.



Next i took off the stock downpipe and exhaust headers. i also cut the exhaust right before the o2 sensor (EX location on the flex pipe)


Its pretty nasty under there. but we cleaned it up and replaced the gasket

next we did a turbo test fit. we bolted the turbo to the manifold and put the manifold up to the head. It turns out that you need to loose the front motor mount (which is known) however, you also have to grind away at the motor mount mounting holes because the turbo will not fit. We did this with a dye grinder and it finally fit really nicely.
This is my buddy jeff pointing to his block grinding fury.

And all mounted up



When everything finally fit nicely it was time to move on. I started on the charge piping. this was probably the most frustrating part of the whole setup and it still didnt come out like I wanted. I had a very limited selection of mandrel bends so i had to cut a lot of them and use a LOT of connectors (which are not cheap) anyway i finaly got it all done. i hope to eventually get this all redone and looking much nicer, but for now it works

i ended up using my buddies stock 1g DSM BOV for now because mine had not arrived in the mail yet. ill have pics of my new one tommorow.


the last thing we did on the first day was the injectors. the DSM 450s work great in our cars. we are low impedinance peak and hold just like them so there is no resistor box needed. the only mod you have to do is drill out the center of the O rings a little to get it to fit. no big deal. a dremel works great
I dont have a good pic of these but here they are anyway...


The next day-----------

the next day first on the list was the oil lines. The oil return was nice and cured and was sturdy as hell. JB weld works wonders. we put the pan back on and i connected the oil return line to the turbo and then to the pan (I need to cut a few inches of the oil return line to get the big curve out of it.)


the oil feed was kinda a pain in the ass. its not an easy location to work but i took my time and finally got it all connected. I used the "tunertoys" fitting that came with my oil kit to T off the oil pressure sensor.


Now that all the hardware was installed (minus the downpipe) i started to wire up the peice of shit SMC i have to use for the next week (until my ECU chipping stuff arrives) it works just like an AFC its just not as pretty

[Accord R33]

once i got it running (which was a pain in the ass because it kept dieing on me) i brought it to my budd jeff's dad's midas and had the downpipe made off the stock DSM o2 housing.. his dad is the most awesome guy ever and made me my DP. thanks dad!



These have been installed for months, but here is a pic of my guages


some more overall shots

I want to send a special thanks to all the people who helped me with the project:

Valerie - the most amazing person on the planet who was always there for me when i needed her. she took out the oil pan, but it back in, went to the store for everylittle thing, spent just about as much as i did lol. and best of all didnt complain about it one bit. i love you hun and thanks for everything.



My best friend Jeff - For helping me out with everything and more so for letting me use his space, time, and tools. this would have not been possilble without him.
this is the only pic i got of him...lol. yes thats me strataling him.


JEffs dad - for being awesome and letting me use his garage and for making my DP for nothing. hes the best.

and last but not least a really wierd pic of me..



the next step is to clean the shit out of EVERYTHING. the install came out really "dirty" if you will. so ill be cleaning and cleaning until its up to my standards. but at least its in, thats all i can say



EDIT*****************************

new updates...new intercooler, painted engine bay and new BOV!! now with chipped p05 ecu.

[Swifty1638]

WOW!! Very nice..there is no kit for this setup? No way to get a downpipe off of a turbo? Weird..about how much did this all cost ya? What are you gonna do to keep the motor runnin strong? chippin the ecu? Also, what happens to the upper motor mount..is the motor still well supported witout it? That's too cool, yo ueven got the gf involved. If it's any dream of mine, its a girl who likes cars, likes to work on them, and just loves it...ya might wanna tell her she's got sumthin on her shirt in the second pic though..

-keep us posted..I want a sound file..PLEASE!! Also, take it to a dyno, and let us know how 8 psi works..

Good shit. I bet shifting and wheel hop will be a bitch without that torque mount. Now go get it tuned and make some videos.

[Slateboy]

Damnit. That innercooler needs to FILL that space.

[WiKKeDV16]

nah i really dont think so.. as long as he uses an insert on the rear mount.. he should be fine.. bleh but he is turbo happy.. popping charge pipes off already


once he gets the chips and shit hell start running basemaps that various of us have come up with..

[MRX]

WoOoOoOT! i'm right behind you R33...gaining fast and closing in . Best of luck and don't blow that block b4 u get the engine management setup...but do tell us stories of your turbo adventures

[Accord R33]

lol thanks guys.

the 2" drop seems to take care of wheel hop compltely, i dont have any.

i cant wait to see your setup done midnite, even though its puts mine to shame.

[WiKKeDV16]

hey your boosted.. so regardless. feel special.. some of us arnt even there yet.. 8psi on a f22a is powerful.. vtec stomping powerful.. jk jk.. we dont need any accludes coming in here and flaming lmao

[Accord R33]

true that. i already let loose in the "ricer" thread...i dont need all the H22 guys on my ass too.


P.S. anyone who thinks my car is rice because it has a kit and paint...can suck on my charge pipes

[WiKKeDV16]

AHAHHAH. now ur happy u can say that..

Suck on my front mount..
or..

suck on my compressor inlet
