OBX Turbo Manifold
So I've read up a little on turboing the cl, I was lucky enough to get a 6 speed so the trans isn't a concern for me.
I was also looking into the m90 supercharger route but don't feel too commited to cutting my hood and would love for the car to be sleeper status. I looked around a bit and found the OBX eBay manifold and wanna see if anyone has any info on them? https://m.ebay.com/itm/OBX-Racing-Turbo-Manifold-Header-98-02-Honda-Accord-V6-3-0L-J30A-T3/201632857984?hash=item2ef2413f80:m:muT77xsCzGQ9AxC WRt55DuQ |
Here is another that a member over in the 2G TL side was thinking about using and it never materialized. :shrug:
It's $84 cheaper and looks similar. The only way to find out if it works is to be the 'guinea pig'. :dunno: :) https://www.protuninglab.com/98hoacv6rat3.html |
I might just have to be
I guess we will see sometime soon if I end up getting it, btw anyone know what kinda power we can make on stock injectors? I'm wanting to make about 350 to 400-450 max. And opinions on a megasquirt 2 for tubing? Got a guy around in my area who was making about 1100hp in a 98 trans am who recommended it to me. |
There's only 2 tuning solutions I've seen work on the 6speeds in all my years - emanage blue and the AEM with custom harness by Dezod.
if you're going through with the effort to Turbo it, upgrade the injectors. Search modifying RDX injectors. |

I've heard many people try many things that don't pan out. Anything is possible with time, money and knowledge. Going turbo will not be cheap.
|
I know it definitely won't be cheap, and knowledge is one thing I don't have enough of I think, which is why I'm asking all you guys.
But there are lots of people who swear by megasquirt around here and know how to tune it so I figure it's a safe bet. |
Another day, another 18 year old planning to turbo his CL-S. Can easily count on both hands how many people have turbo'd their CL-S. Sorry, but I wouldn't bet on this coming to fruition.

And thanks to all who's giving me the knowledge of all this stuff. |
If you use the search feature you can find post after post after post after post answering all these questions. Others have done it and they've all been asked before. The answers are all the same. Not much has changed over the years.

I also didn't wanna have to revive a dead thread. I don't really see the issue with me just asking questions I need answers to for me to progress with this build? |

No offense to OP, but you're asking waay too basic questions to be pulling off this build. Good on you for asking questions and doing your reading, but a turbo build on this application will leave you without much help. There are only a few of us with boost, and even fewer with a proper tune. |
Even if you're experienced, it's not cheap to turbo a CL. If you aren't experienced in custom builds, paying an experienced builder is likely the only way it's going to happen and that'll be even more expensive.
We see so many come through here looking for information on adding FI to their car and doing it on a budget. It's just not going to happen. Here, order this super cheap turbo kit and have at it. :rip: 3.0L_V6_KIT, Accord V6 / Acura V6 Turbo Kit / 3.0L V6 Single TURBO, Acura Honda Turbo Kits, XS Power Inc. |

As for the manifolds and injector questions I just wanna know what we can do with stock, I can't find a straight answer and I assume they are between 270cc-310cc and I have already been looking into RDX injectors, I read up on a post here where a guy had a j32a3 (Those weird round headers) and they didn't fit very well, which is why i asked if anyone used the OBX ones because thats the same brand the mentioned person used, I do have a welder and there's a machine shop near who I know can bend the tubing for me no issue so I just wanna know what I'm getting into. But enough me trying to defend myself, I just wanna know the opinions on a megasquirt 2 and that's about all at this point. We will see sometime in the future if I go all the way with this idea! |
Okay so i looked around a little more after seeing that a few people don't like the complicated setup on Megasquirt and now im looking between the E-Manage Ultimate or a flashpro with the later model ecu... Anyone have experience with this?
I don't need the complete control of the engine that a standalone would give me, just need to add some fuel and pull timing here and there because i'm not gonna be pushing a whole lot of power (between 350-400) |
Never heard of anyone using either of those. There are many tuning solutions for 2004+ TL, TSX that just don't work on our cars.
