Id like to hear from some guys who have turboed their own cars or any car. I considering the kit from fmax. These plans 2 years down the road. So I cn have enough time to build my engine properly to run effective boost and make the engine last.
What else would I need to get?
Fuel injectors
fuel pump
fuel fpr
Rocker arms
Low comp pistons
Resleeved clyinders
Anything else and about the the sleeves anyone know someone who makes some for the f series??

hmmm. i think the fuel injectors come in the kit, along with the fuel pump. how much do u wanna boost ? i think your sleeves will be aiigt if u stay below 15psi of boost. Also the accord has a low compression ratio already (8.5:1-9:)

im not sure about f-serise engines too much, but h serise you have to resleeve if you put aftermarket pistons of any kind cause of the aluminum(i think) sleeves and aluminum pistons in aluminum sleeves creat HUGE friction.since the f-serise engines are kinda like single cam h-serise, they might have used the same sleeving

Well Ill probably stay under 15psi for the time being. Whenever I get it. But you know nobody is ever satisified with the amount of boost you are running. you always want more. So hopefully Ill have the turbo after 2 years.

i saw one at modacar.com for 3250 or you could go the custom route and have it all for like 6-900 depending on what you get (means that you will need to go shopping in junkyards)

man, junkyarding might be fun and effective, but it could be very frustrating too. not only do i want to find a turbo for the right price, but i need an h22 too. plus how many junkards are really around the portland area...i just dont see too many of them.
(im just thinking out loud here)
