so after lots of thought on every ones input i think i am ging to turbo my f22 my buddy has a turbo and intercooler so were going to do that any suggestions as what psi not to exceed i was thinking running 5 or 6 since i dont have upgraded internals and should i look into getting a bov or dont that really matter and will an or h23 down pipe fit the f series turbo manifold

I would get a blow-off valve, yes. 5-6 PSI sounds like a pretty safe number, but then again PSI is relative to the turbo you're using. The important thing is the tuning. If you don't have access to a good tuner who can run all the common tuning programs and has a decent dyno, then find one before you start this project.

For the down-pipe you're just going to have to line it up and see. My guess would be no, but might as well check if you already have the part...
 
i dont know of any one but my friends just said he knows of one
and the turbo is from my understanding a t3 or t4 ebay turbo

You're cool with using an E-Bay turbo after all the talk on these forums about how crappy they seals are?
 
my friend said ebay turbos are hit or miss is this true... he said they will work for a while then possibly
freeze up ??
 
theres is one about 50 miles away from me .. is an ebay turbo kit probably my best bet or should i peice it to gether like buy the bov sep.along with the intercooler piping and turbo mani with down pipe either way i figure ill have about 900 into it the reason i ask is the turbo kit i looked at did not include the 5 bolt flange down pipe but i did see this eBay Motors: Prelude H23 Turbo Manifold & T3/T4 Downpipe Prelude Si (item 370041283058 end time Apr-14-08 19:51:34 PDT) i can use it on this eBay Motors: ACCORD F22A PRELUDE H23 TURBO KIT CAST MANIFOLD 0-0-0-0 (item 280216442578 end time Apr-15-08 16:12:24 PDT) and also that being a hybrid turbo charger i think will not be to my best intrest

That's what I've heard and experienced as well. Sometimes people don't have a problem, sometimes they do. Why take a chance? I'd rather spend a little bit more on a decent turbo then risk having to replace it or hurting my engine with it in the future.

It's up to you though man. Do what you think is best...
 
f motors love boost low compression and strong block i am running 12 psi daily for over a year and not had a problem but its not psi that breaks stuff its hp and tq any thing above 330 really starts stressing the motor and trans. i would run more boost but i am at the limit of my injectors 550cc rc's just make sure u have a good tune on the computer i am putting out 272hp and 241 lbs of tq
 
that honestly sounds real legit n1delsol. u got a dyno graph and a lil part list maybe for other's reference?
 
Sorry to whore it out more, I have a Manifold, Turbo, External gate and flanges for everything. I can make the rest for you, Ive offered before. Drop off the car and I can fab the piping for the Intercooler in about a week.

I also have a socketted ECU, Ostrich and other stuff you WILL need to tune the car. Buy it all from me and I will hook you up man, seriously!! I will make the piping for free, just cover the welding charges, usually 100 to get everything welded.

If you take the mani, turbo, ewg, ostrich, ecu, 3bar map sensor and misc flanges, I will do it all for 1250 cash. If paypal, add 3%, Im not taking the hit on that amount of money.....The turbo, mani and ewg are BRAND NEW. I paid 900 for this turbo alone!!! The ecu is chipped for your car as well, it will just need some tweaks. Look into EVERYTHING you will need to do this project and you will see this is a steal!

I'll be over to see you, if it's still available, after I refi the house.
 
Its there for you if it doesnt sell. If like to sell the shit for cash if possible now though :) Def could use it with the big Bday bash for my lil girl coming up.....
 
hey my gf bought me a turbo came with waste gate oil line and turbo mani for 400 yesterday and also got a idk the exact name but a header manifold that bolts on a turbo so all i need now is an intercoler kit
 
can any one give some tips on what size injectors i would need to use and should i get new plugs wires and last for now will my radiator work or will i need to get an eg radiator turbo kits says it is for f22
 
What manifold is it? That will determine if the rad is fine.

Obviously you should do a "tune up" before you try to push it 100% more........Read up before you start this project man.....
