UTAH TSX

$69.95 to start and well about 5-7k to finish

optimusaccord

Anything worth doing, is worth doing correctly.

ssjoeboe9

Im at like 6K right now smh....

And I still have to pay ~6-800 for clutch install and another 200 for VIT tune.

And I thought I was saving money buy going supercharged over Turbo haha

katanamast279

Are you guys planning to make custom kits for us who desire to splurge $$$$?
I would be willing to drop $$$ on a high quality SS cat-back exhaust system.

optimusaccord

I asked around quite a few places, and no one is really in the position to make a system for the car right now.

damn.. weaving through traffic too. that guy is nuts! euro accord driver was probably quicker at shifting though

UTAH TSX

Is that CU2 turbo or super charged ?

xtcnrice

supercharged AWD CU2. It's Chivik777 on the forums. Look him up on here.. amazing work.

edit: actually I don't know if this one is the AWD one... but he apparently either owns or worked on both cars.

AWD CU2: https://acurazine.com/forums/perform...d-swap-839138/ (you can probably find more threads on this here)

One from the vid: http://www.accordforum.de/showthread...rd-22479.html? (use google chrome for translation if you wanna read stuff, cuz a lot of it is in russian)

xtcnrice

One from the vid, here on Azine: https://acurazine.com/forums/photogr...harger-752171/ (car is very likely not up to date).

The red car in the other thread is the AWD one. Not sure what happened to that one, but Chivik owns a shop in Russia and he builds/tunes GTRs and other wild things. I guess these are either his sleeper toys or his customers with Euro Accords.

iCrap

the AWD one is badass... RDX drivetrain swap i think?
I want one..

UTAH TSX

been working on my sons TYPE-S, we got the turbo today it's a EFR 8374 twin scroll t4 bad rammer jammer and some very cool 970cc dual cone bosch injectors, they would be perfect for our k motors, twin spay pattern for our dual intake ports

ssjoeboe9

I wonder if it will be fast

UTAH TSX

My sons car is coming along looking good

ssjoeboe9

Hey Utah.. What is the max boost I can run safely with my SC on stock internals... I hit 10psi in third gear at 4000RPM.. this is way more than I expected. I thought it would be 10psi around 7500RPM.. Im worried now. What do you think?

optimusaccord

Roots is a flat boost curve. I would expect to hit whatever the pulley size is created to operate at.

I get up to a bit over 10~11 psi right around 3800. It tapers off as you get over 7k rpm, but that's because of the internal WG. Which isn't the worse thing ever, as there is a bit of "safety" built into tapering off like that. It tapers to about 9.1 psi, but when you are in boost going through the rev range, you can't tell....

optimusaccord

Utah - I did adjust that torque screw on the throttle body. I backed it out 1.5 turns, and will do a datalog with it later this week. I have to charge the battery, as the cold weather and sitting for weeks on end has killed the battery.

Besides that, any other things you are doing getting ready for emissions in April? I imagine you and I have to do the same things to pass emissions.

ssjoeboe9

Well what Im saying is that I think the pulley is gunna end up making close to 12psi at 7500RPM. And I have an aftercooler so colder air drops your pressure down. That's why I expected to only be at around 10psi in the higher rev range.

@Optimus did you beef up your internals as well? Im worried now that maybe Im gunna make too much boost for the stock internals to handle..

Jaheri_cbp

Didn't vit tune a 2012 si with pretty much your same setup and stock motor?? If I'm not mistaken he had an 2012 si running 12's in the 1/4 with your setup.. Dunno if it's blown since then though lol... Running boost from n/a motor period is going to give added stress to your stock internals I hope you were expecting that already lol.. As long as it's tuned well and not like Utahs first tuning catastrophe and your timing and a/f ratio is ok your car should run great.. You may get problems such as blown piston rings due to blow by and boost but I doubt you will fry anything internal with the 300 some odd hp you are expecting.. Honda motors in general have been proven and battle tested.. The stock crank is prob good for almost double the expected power.. The head should flow 300hp with minimal issues if any and the pistons should hold as well.. For how long who knows but I'm assuming you should be good for a while.. Only thing I can recommend is to keep preventative maintenance at a higher standard then before (changing oil and fluids more often, spark plugs etc) if you don't feel like ripping the head off the motor at the moment...

optimusaccord

Stock block baby.

ssjoeboe9

Yeah of course I expected added stress and I knew that I would more blow by than before, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't gunna blow up. I expected to max out at 10psi but it looks like Ill be a little higher than that. I think you are right about Vit doing stage 2 setup but I didn't know if any internal work was done. Just cause I dont wanna look it up, what are the symptoms of blown rings, other than excessive blowby? Is there any other indication?

If Optimus seems to be running fine, Im sure Ill be fine as well. I think.... lol

iCrap

Optimus, how much boost are you running?

UTAH TSX

Joe what fuel do you have 91 or 93 ? 12psi is about as high as I would feel safe on stock internals, it's all in the tune and Vit will know how high to go looking at knock, intake air temps ETC. tell him what you want long term reliability or all the power you can get

ssjoeboe9

Im running 93 up here. Ok if you feel alright at 12 that makes me feel better. And Ill be sure to mention to VIT I want long term reliability.

Also, the SC has an external bypass valve.. why cant that be used to limit boost like turbo's?

Jaheri_cbp

Well the excessive blow by and heavy oil smoke from the exhaust is the best visual indicator that some seal internally is compromised whether it be from the rings and bottom end or top end.. Another good indicator while driving would be misfiring due to oil build up in the chambers or maintenance wise having spark plugs that foul out prematurely.. This is purely in my experiences..

That being said the tune is of the utmost importance. Which is why my car will be vit tuned as well

Jaheri_cbp

I found this link to better explain

The Case for Blow-Off Valves: Why Turbocharged Engines Need Them and Supercharged Engines Don?t

UTAH TSX

It is adjustable the preload can be changed to open at a certan PSI

optimusaccord

When the Throttle stays all the way open, it spikes up to around 11.5~ before tapering back down at 7000 - 7500. Tapers to like 9.4 or so.

The car becomes... "feather-weight" as far as forward locomotion is concerned.....

ssjoeboe9

Yeah I really need a catch can. And Vit is legit so I know he'll do a great job on my setup.

UTAH TSX

The kids TYPE-S is taking shape looks mean

xtcnrice

been following his thread... amazing work. bet you guys can't wait to be boosting side by side when everything's done

UTAH TSX

RDX turbo engine cover insert, we finished the turbo manifold now on to build the down pipe this is a little tricky getting it all to fit and look super clean

optimusaccord

What throttle is on that motor? I think it needs a bigger one....

UTAH TSX

Just the stock one it's 65 mm not worth spending the money on the 70 mm ZDX throttle body IMO, have you got the check engine light to go out ?

Nov!ce

Nice work, guys.

optimusaccord

I haven't been home in weeks to drive my car.

curtdragon

Anyone making a turbo kit?

optimusaccord

Maybe RV6...

If you are wanting a turbo cu2, and it is a whole lot of fun...

I would urge you to really consider buying a car that's already turboed.

Why? my car - it doesn't get driven. I have to start it once a week.

I bought a DD, and oddly, though the acura could be a DD no problem, I am far too worried about the car getting hit by grocery carts, or dinged in parking lots.

curtdragon

Lol you are probably right but I really like this car and just want some more speed
