I know this topic has come up a alot, but would someone be able to give me some websites or other posts about boosting an h22a in a 92 Accord. I've done a little bit of searching, but I know there's more out there. Thanks

I guess I'm looking for the whole deal. Is it possible (I know it is), is there a lot of modifications I have to do to fit it in? What do I need? Different manifold...intake manifold...exhaust manifold? I already have a complete exhaust new headers ect will they be of use?...As you can see I don't really have any idea where to start? I would like to add a significant amount of hp, but I don't even know what psi I should run for that. If I run say 7 psi, is that alot...not really eh, but would add a significant amount? Change internals? I'm looking to do it next year so I have some time to work on it and get as much information on what would be the best way to approach this project, but if you have some info any will be greatly appreciated. I know I'm all over the place, so maybe give me your opinion on how you would do it. Thanks
Where do I find slim radiators and fans??Quoted post[/post]]
whoa, i think you're talking way over his head
lol
go to homemadeturbo.com
this is a basic walk through of a teg install, with all parts labeling, pictured and numbered with a discription
http://www.cse.uconn.edu/~yelevich/turbo/turbo.html
here is another EXCELLENT READ
http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html
i suggest you stat by reading the bottom site, then the second to the bottom, then finally move onto the top site and look at some of the setups, the costs and parts involved
i am basing my reply on your questions such as can you use the brand new header you just bought
you have a long way to go my friend.... lots of learning to do
and then after you get the basics then we can focus on going turbo witha swapped car with virtually NO room under the hood
start reading on perhaps slim radiators, slim fans, and battery relocation to get you some more room

psi is a false idea, a common mistake to new comers
psi is a set standard but the amount of air flow from diffrent turbos at the same psi will greatly vary...
a small turbo pushing 7 psi will be a much smaller HP increase as compared ot a larger turbo pushing the same 7 psi...
read and you'll get what i mean
So put both fans on the tranny side? Or just have 1 fan? I appreciate the help man.Quoted post[/post]]
i think to do the H22 turbo you're gonna need to run a race radiator, 92-95 civic style half radiator to give you room for the manifold and turbo
how much room do you have between the head and your radiator?
and you can get slim fans anywhere
ebay to auto zone
your choice
just looked at a pic of my friends h22 accord and you;re good on the radiator...
just get a slim fan and put it on the tranny side and you should have more than enough room
think about what you just said, seriously.Quoted post[/post]]
2 fans, same locations, just the one on the tranny side is a slim fan.

the slim fan would be on the engine side where you need the extra room for the turbo and piping.
