UTAH TSX

Just riding low on fat tires and wheels is my style

I spy coilovers

Curious, looking at how the turbo is mounted, how do you plan on routing the hot charge pipe to the IC?

optimusaccord

Emailed you, I am very interested in moving this project forward. Look forward to hearing back from you, and through this, moving the second Gen TSX forward.

I will be making the compressor intake and charge pipes friday they will both run behind valve cover to driver side and down to intercooler no room to run on passenger side will post pictures when done. Bought all the stuff for pipes today the budget is spinning out of controll. The last things i need are ---intake manifold and adapter-- rbc rrc skunk golden eagle or anything but the plastic one we all have--- 1000cc bosch injectors--- walbro 255lph fuel pump--- and some type of boost controller i like the eam one with guage.
( ----keep an eye out for used intake manifold for good deal aftermarket i can get the rbc for 200 bucks but really want aftermarket and boost controller for cheap good part---)
thanks

I would most likely run the rbc manifold with a zdx TB. If we need a different fuel pump and injectors, please list up what is suggested, so I can start piecing mine together in tandem with yours. This also allows me to install the pieces one at at time. Possibly even have a tune completed on the rbc + zdx and injectors.

Then when you have the time and can create the charge pipes and downpipe for mine, I can take all collected parts to the tuner and have the kit installed.

It has the t3 flange it is so much cleaner than mine i did the tial and error on mine so yours is beautiful

UTAH TSX

Made this out of old MAF sensor cut off all but plug and only needed pin 4 and 5 for IAT sensor clean no cutting harness plug and play

UTAH TSX

More pipes built need intake to build the last one

Great job cant wait to see the finished product

How bad are you expecting the heat soak to be with the position of the turbo? looks crazy right now cant wait for this to be done its moving faster than i thought.

mellostack

holymac&cheese that shit look crazy please do a video when ever u get a chance

optimusaccord

Sorry for not responding sooner, I have been out in NYC all week...

It looks beautiful, there is no doubt about that.

And for heat soak, I am wanting to have everything heat coated. I am also considering getting the IC painted to ensure this remains as low key as possible.

Let me know via phone or email if there are anything you need me to do, if anything.

VortexBlueTSX

Thanks for the kinds words man, if you could PM me with a price that it will cost, and i can see when i can go ahead and do this..

UTAH TSX

More finished parts

ssjoeboe9

Damn, Im jealous!

opboarding

oooooh aaahhhh

UTAH TSX

I have it as low as I dare megan 32 way adjustable coil overs rear controll arms 18/9.5 wheels 255/40/18 tires and tinted windows I dident thinh it looked like a sleeper get lots of looks theres a few things I would still like -rear deck lip spoiler -exhaust (will do soon for flow reasons)- front splitter of some type?? -rear window spoiler -some type of badges

optimusaccord

All the exhaust is SS, correct? Do you prefer the heat coating or the DEI heat wrap? Or you will do both?

Yasser22

Wow! Looking good. What's most amazing is how short a time has gone by on this build. Most projects like this take months.

Now if only you wanted to make this CARB legal.....

optimusaccord

For it to be carb legal, it is entirely too expensive.

Utah - Will the down pipe end at the stock cat position? I plan on picking up a high flow cat, as I don't want to have a run an exhaust without a cat. If not, I can work with the local shop to have one created.

VortexBlueTSX

This looks amazing, cannot wait for the quote so i can also grab one!

UTAH TSX

It would be best to put the cat in now on the jig and test fit on my car before i put my stuff on for good have you thought about what turbo you want i like the efr one the best but it is youre choice

VortexBlueTSX

What is the pro to that as appose to a ball bearing?

UTAH TSX

It looks like this is what I will be using in the kit internal wastegate internal blowoff valve (recirculate) expensive but will end up being lass than external valves and all the added fabrication needed intake side is tight will use cobra head intake or try to flip it over so intake faces driver side now all I need is the turbo to get started (optimusaccord ??)

MirozS

cannot wait to see this finished product and hopefully you can design us people with turbo fever a kit lol ready whenever

optimusaccord

Can I call you Thursday or Friday? I am in NYC again this week, but will be home in a bit. Yes, I want to do EFR. Keep is simple, and easily repeatable.

optimusaccord

Also, I wouldn't mind it facing the driver side if it makes the intake filter mounting easier??

UTAH TSX

Call anytime optimus.
I hope I can mount it intake to the driver side the turbo I used was just to big to get by the heater core lines comming throught the firewall the compressor side was right on the lines

UTAH TSX

I need to find out if there are any problems with running walbro 255 fuel pump on dead end fuel sysytem like ours (no return internally regulated ) search away thanks

optimusaccord

I was thinking we might be able to use the deastchwerks pump??

UTAH TSX

I'v seen guys on gen 1 tsx's put regulators and fuel return lines I'm hoping we dont have to do that. Are the deastchwerks pumps for non return setups ????

axionindustries

Look into the deatschwerks dw65c fuel pump should work in the factory fuel pickup with no issues , this is what the 8th and 9th gen civics are using

UTAH TSX

The first with the right answer will win one or all of the below
1-you can buy me set of injectors
2-you can buy me a RBC intake manifold
3-you can buy me a the fuel pimp axion just recommended

optimusaccord

That's the fuel pump mount point that bolts to the top of the fuel tank in the which I am guessing is beneath the back seats...

UTAH TSX

Nope wrong end of car
Optimus you were dead on for the deatchschworks fuel pump to use on our type of fuel sysytem

savclaude

damn so jealous of this build

iSeeYouTwo

My guess is either one of the aforementioned

UTAH TSX

Yes it is the timing chain tensioner cover I welded a hose nipple to for turbo oil drain it's -10 AN size here is the rest of the stuff for oil feed and drain for the turbo waiting for the oil filter sandwich to get here it has 2 -10 AN fittings for oil cooler with 2- 1/8 npt fittings for turbo oil feed and oil pressure guage
