Ok so lame title, but it's been exactly 1 year since I first got my CL running with the turbo. The motor has had no mechanical problems and is running strong, props to the F series. It has taken ~15,000 miles of fairly agressive driving at 6-11psi and three trips to the track. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way.

 

this thread is worthless w/o pictorials

 

you got any vids of that beast?

 

congrats, aren't you putting down like 200 whp with that?

 

200whp??tell me its true..ill be suprised

 

Wait, I dont get it... is 200whp a good thing or a bad thing?

 

lol

 

N/A F series engine 145-150 HP stock
Turbo approx 200 Hp

Hmmmmm, I'm gonna go with very good thing. Props man. If I was keepin the CL, this would be happening in the future. Lets see some vids or dyno #'s man.

 

I think a 200 hp 5spd CL is a good thing. You can always increase the boost and play with the internals to pull more out of that sucker. Which turbo are you running ??

 

I need to see it to believe it.

 

200 hp is good but 200Whp is sickk for a f22

 

play with the internal's and increase the boost...even better. how much can the stock internal's on the f22 handle?

 

What is there to see to believe? With a T3/T4 turbo and the right setup he can easily do 200hp.

 

Or a 3.0 he could do 200 HP too

 

212whp @ 10psi, didnt turn it up to 11psi on the dyno but thats probably 215-220.
It's an F23, and there arent really any non-custom internals available. It would be cheaper to blow the motor and swap another F series in than build it.
I thought pretty much everyone on here had seen it, but I guess not.
My car domain is here http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/760870 it lists everything in the turbo setup.
My dyno graph is here http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ll/Dyno212.jpg
And finally a shitload of pictures from the intall are here http://photobucket.com/albums/v107/2...rbo%20Install/
Sorry I do not have any decent videos, I will fix that this summer.

 

3.0 can do 200hp not whp..and it's not a 5spd plus the trans will fall out eventually..I rather have a turbo 2X anyday..Not to hate on my 3.0 brothers but I love my 5spd and getting that psst psst from the turbo would be sweet.

 

damn that thing is a pure sleeper

 

check out http://www.raceeng.com/showItems.asp...&Supplier=RACE they may have what you are looking for as far as internals go
part #xtp-515p86 86mm 8.5:1 compression

congrats....

 

your car is an inspiration to all f series CL's. w00t.

how much did the whole set up cost you. Curious

 

Yeah, and did you install it youself? How long did it take?

 

lol 8.5:1 compresssion? is he gonna boost like 25 psi?

 

i like how the FMIC is painted black so that you can barely even see it. A true sleeper

 

Sleeper is the way to go

 

Good job on the f22 turbo. That car is really nice.

 

thats the nicest f22 engine bay ive ever seen..sweet car

 

sooooo...your bone stock internally, pushing 212whp@10psi
where the fuck do I sign up.....

 

Answers to questions:
Yes the motor is totally stock
The setup was 3-4 g's depending on what you count as part of the kit, I purchased things over the period of a year so I dont have an exact figure
I installed everything myself, took about 80 hours of work as I hadnt worked on may of the systems before (fuel, ignition, etc) Only things I had professionally done were extending my downpipe to my catback and tuning.
Thanks for the complements/comments

 

what kind of turbo is it?

 

ceramic coated turbonetics (garrett parts) t3t4b, not sure what the ratios are it doesnt say on the side like most turbos, but its whatever comes with the accord fmax kit.

 

having an f-series motor doesn't leave you with much options... and the stock compression isn't much higher than 8.5:1

 

yeah, I know it's like what? 9.3:1 or something. I was kinda exagerating with the 25 psi, but seriously, if he's pushig 11 psi right now with stock internals, then at that compression he could probably go with nearly 20 psi... wonder what kinda power he'd get... hmmmm

 

How much psi do sti's and MR's push stock? 17? just curious... hehe

 

14-15? i forgot, something around there

 

That's what I was thinking. LOL

 

Hey man good to see the car is still running strong. What are you using for tuning? You really could run more boost on that thing

 

It was tuned by tempest racing entirely on the dyno w/ wideband using the hondata s200. I found a guy over on honda-tech running 17psi on this motor with a similar setup. I'm too worried about the rods and the ringlands to do that. You have any plans to go to the track in the next month? My old job always had me working friday nights but now it looks like im an 8-5 type.

 

Well Wicked!!
You did an awesome job homie. Clean engine bay. Nice install. You even got the paperwork to back it all up. Nice!!

 

I'll let you know when I hit the track. I'm buying a new car and I'll wanna practice on the street before embarassing myself at the track.

 

good shit.....sounds like the future for me....
btw is there any lag?
