I will call you tomorrow and we can talk about getting the turbo into your hands, the 7670 - that's the one you still want to run for mine?

Got a little tig welding done today
The only imperfections are were I tacked it together from now in I will only tack it on the inside but this guy can weld it was 100 bucks to weld this

Question, the 7670 looks like it will use v band mounting for the down pipe, correct?
This is sounding like it is going to be a smooth looking install...

V band it is do bing image search for efr 7670 full race has some really good pics of it

Will do.

Looking at the 7670, looks really awesome, ball bearing center cartridge, and twin scroll on the turbine section. Jam packed full of goodies for making power.....

No twin scroll
To use the twin scroll you have to be able to use the clynders individually
we cant because of the integrated exhaust manifold so we will use the t3 flange single scroll

Why do we have an integrated exhaust anyways? I wonder if there are any advantages, or if its just easier to machine.

I would guess cost no manifold less cost for Honda all Honda motors I can think of have it now

It also helps with emissions. Exhaust goes straight from the head casting right into the primary cat. Since there's no header for it to flow through and cool off, primary cat heats up faster and makes it more efficient scrubbing the exhaust.

Oh, no problem. The pictures that kept popping up were the twin scroll. Single is no problem.

Relocate ecu and battery
So I moved the battery and ecu to make room for the cold pipe from intercooler to throttle body that runs under the headlight.
I took the ecu bracket and bent it on a 90 deg right below the two bottom ecu bolts and bolted it down with round head bolts and built a battery tray you could get a battery tray premade from any parts store but I chose to build one for cost reasons now the ecu is about 2 inches lower and tucked in behind the battery that is now sitting streight much cleaner looking no cutting wires. I started makinga pipe to stock intake but I hate it I'm going to wait untill I get rbc intake manifold then make the pipe match the angles of the other 2 pipes for a smoother look the round pipe just doesent fit in. the old air filter on there is 5 inches long looks like a 8 inch long one will fit.

Much props to you for being a pioneer with this project.. I drive an 8th gen accord and the accord guys have been dying for turbo kits to be produced, so I'm definitely keeping my eyes peeled for the completion of your project!

Thank you optimus for moving this project along, everyone should thank you for stepping up to the plate it took a lot of trust to do this, I will make sure you are verry satisfied with you're turbo setup.
(Bad to the bone EFR turbo kit for all here we go)
Thanx Optimus

Optimusaccord i'm still debating on how to sell it will be at least manifold and down pipe it will be so much easier to use a internal waste gated turbo like the borg warner efr turbos if you want to do this style it could be much faster would require sending me the turbo for build not ready to take any money yet i dont see there being a huge demand for this so you will most likley be the first
I would definitely be interested. I think you could make a lot of money off of this and make many people very happy. There are thousands of 6-Speed 2009+ TSXs which are begging for a kit like this. I've been searching for the 8 months that I've had my car.

5th Gear
Luster-- What's funny is that I just drove 4300 miles across the country and drove right through Utah... On my way to Denver I got caught in a car show that took place on the main highway. Lol. I'm back in Austin now.
Utah-- I'm excited and want to see the final build and tune! Doubling this car's HP would be sick. I wouldn't have to gut my car to run 13's. No engine work is planned for this build correct (stock internals)? How much PSI I wonder? Best clutch and flywheel brand for this TSX? I can't find Hondata.

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.

There's no header for the exhaust to flow through so there's not much of a chance for the gasses to cool off. They want to keep the gasses hot so the engine and CAT can warm up faster to get better efficiency and emissions. The engine cooling system takes care of cooling the engine while heat shields protect the area around the CAT.

Auto matic
Look at hondata dyno days the fastest gen 1 TSX was and automatic I think it was 275 WHP, there were no turbos
I just cant stand to shift 200 times on my way home in traffic jam here in Salt Lake City
If I was drag racing it I would go manual, but this is my daily driver
Okay I'm open for the auto trans slaughter

If you have put RBC intake on I need you're input
I'm really thinking about getting this manifold, I believe it's a knockoff skunk pro series, the flange looks bigger than the rbc (by the water ports) and the throttle body flange has no ports on it, wonder If this will work with out the adapter from PRL, that would save another $170.00, and the skunk intake is $600.00
