Amazing job man! Obviously for someone who isn't a mechanic the $300 becomes $800 with the work and then add $200 for a turbo and some other money for the missing pieces. Even so having a turbo for $1300 or so is super cheap and definitely sounds amazing. Neat job!

This is basically what I did when I first turbocharged my DA9 Integra back in 2003 (when I was 20). I bought one of the very first SSAutochrome turbo manifolds with a downpipe ($250), a Dodge Daytona T3 turbo from a junkyard that had an entire school bus full of random turbos ($50), a DSM side mount intercooler ($50), a set of DSM 440cc injectors ($75), a DSM BOV ($25), and I went above and beyond for a Zdyne Gold SECU ($1500) because I didn't want to blow up my 120k mile B18A1. My buddy tuned it on his DynoJet and it made 258 whp on 12 psi and was pretty quick. I had alot of fun in that car until the YS1 cable trans shot out every gear but 5th. I drove it home almost 40 miles with it stuck in 5th. After that I parted it out and scrapped the shell. I really wish I had just kept it and replaced the trans. I still miss that car. I sold the B18A1 to a kid in North Carolina who was swapping it into his CRX.

Was the best thing I did. Now I own a B16A powered CRX and a B16B powered NA CrX both are fast or faster then with the turbo at that time.

Love the sound of a good spool up, the BOV sounds amazing. Great job on the tutorial, very professional walk through. T25's are great for beginners to learn on and they are great for 300hp setups on honda's. The T30 is great too after notching the block then pairing it with a Vitara internal build with a Savage camshaft and 450cc DSM Bluetop injectors = smiles for miles.

@Cartier_specialist 4 жыл бұрын

Get your fuel and timing parameters set along with the correct sparkplugs for the boost and fuel mapping, put a quiet exhaust on it, and paint the intercooler black and you'll have yourself a nice sleeper. 10 to 12 pounds of boost with a good tune should put a smile on your face. FlowMaster mufflers flow very well and sound virtually stock. Also try to get your airbox setup down low to hopefully duct in some cool air from right underneath the front bumper --- preferably a duct that will give the airbox some ram air affect. Late model Corvette front brake air cooling ducts are easy to find and are perfect for your application. 👍

@TexasHondaChannel 4 жыл бұрын

I have yonaka cat back exhaust it sounds perfect when connected and VERY quiet but the downpipe issue has been resolved as of tonight sorta lol It was running open downpipe in this video. As for intake air box it will be hooked up once i get a slim fan because as of right now i can't even run a air duct to it because the automatic transmission lines/rad fan are in the way of literally everything. This isn't my first time with a turbo honda/ I have turbo'd quite a few but this one is my first with a/c lol
