Turbo 3.0cl
I've found a shop in VA that does custom turbos for the CL and wanted to get so opinions on what would be best. First off the asking price is about $4,500 which covers garret T-3 , tubular headers , down pipe with flex coupler(3in) , turbonetics external wastegate , greddy type S blow off valve , spearco front mount intercooler , mandrel bent intercooler pipingwith rubber connectors , turbochager ai , fuel gain riser , stainless steel braided return feul line and oil feed line , and all vacuum lines. Fr an extra G I will also get a racing trannie and a turbo timer.(eveything has a ceramic coated finish)
By the way:
I have a 98 3.0cl with ngk plug wires(running paltnium 4) , cai , 180a alternator , 8,000K HID , 7in in-dash tv w/ dts , 2MTX 12 , 4in infinity center, infinty compnent set , infinity 6x9 , 1000/1 jl audio amp , 300/4 jl audio amp , 3uf cap , deep cycle marine battery
Now time for the decision:
I have an option of getting 2 T-3 or a single T-3 or his big brother the T-4. Which option should I take?
Now the question:
I will spend the extra G to get the racing trannie , however what have I missed? Mind you that this will not just be a track car and it will be used for some everyday driving.
Feel free to hit me back with your opinions and if anyone is in the VA area and is interested I can send you there info.

You'll need an a/f controller of somesort (vafc, standalone, etc) and a couple hours on a dyno if you want to keep the eninge.
BTW, a T3 is too small and a T4 is probably overkill....need a T3/T4 hybrid which is what comes with most turbo kits.

niedejb: what is a good vafc? and with the T-4 lag time will increase , but once she get going she is gone , it also allows for future upgrades
MaCe: as far as lag that is something I can't avoid , however at the track I can spool her up at the line

There are a few turbo v6 accords around here running on stock trannies w/o problems. And also, you won't have much lag w/ two t3's but the best decision would be to go w/ the T-4 or a hybrid t3/t4

Its not worth it. j30a was never meant to go turbo. Transmission can't handle it. Ever wonder why you don't see many turbo accords? We'd all love to have more power...But truth is our cars can't push the envelope. Fastvteccl has already blown through 5 transmissions using 100 shot of nitrous. How many do you think you're gonna blow through having that kind of stress on the transmission everyday? Save your money and get a new car. CLs weren't meant to go fast.
If you do decide to do it anyways...Make sure you reinforce your block first.

Go with the twin if its a daily driver, and the T4 if its more of a track/race car.
Def get a new tranny or a reinforced one. Since you are at it, find a compatible 5-6 speed instead of the cheesy power robbing auto we have.
Good luck and happy motoring!

actually, the two you know about have. LI accord was an idiot and bought a shit tranny. The guy who just tried to sell his on ebay went over a year on the stock tranny. There are 2 other v6 turbos out here in cali that have been ripping up the street races still on stock tranny's.

Actually, the j30a can handle quite a bit of boost, there are plenty in dunebuggy setup that terror up our deserts w/ big turbos. The tranny is another issue. W/ the proper mod's the tranny will be able to handle the power, shouldn't cost you more then about 1500$.
Also, look into the type S 6 speed from the looks of it it shouldn't be a hard swap, but will cost some cash.

find a shop that builds turbo kits, have them make you one. If you are talking about the tranny, find a shop that specializes in trannie's get a torque converter built and have the gears inside strengthened.

cause i'm talking about taking your tranny in, and not a brand new tranny. And I don't know why people aren't jumping on the bandwagon, alot dont know it's possible, i didn't know till I had a few chevy trannies built for my hot rod before i saw the possibilities.

don't ever use level 10, they are crap. But we won't know what work is involved in the 6 speed until it's done. Costs will vary from who you know and where you live.

the 6 speed can take it w/ an upgraded clutch. ANd the engine can handle boost as long as you do it properly
