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?

UTAH TSX

That's the one look at the Full Race 2012 Civic SI they have made some good numbers with this turbo

UTAH TSX

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

optimusaccord

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...

UTAH TSX

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

optimusaccord

Will do.

spdandpwr

nice build!!! can't wait to see results.

optimusaccord

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.....

UTAH TSX

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

ssjoeboe9

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

UTAH TSX

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

thunderbt3

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.

optimusaccord

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

UTAH TSX

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.

UTAH TSX

More parts came today the list is getting shorter

Yasser22

Also allows quicker warm up for less engine wear.

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!

savclaude

come boost mine when you done lol

optimusaccord

Just sent first payment to get the ball rolling on this.

UTAH TSX

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

Cash money ladies.

Money talks...

Bull shit walks....

Utah, I'm glad I found someone who was willing to meet me halfway on this. I look forward to it...... HARD.

David Robinson

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.

David Robinson

I'd drive out there too!

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.

David Robinson

I saw a high-flow cat made by rv6 Performance. Would that work?

www.rv6-p.com

ssjoeboe9

How so? Unless you are suggesting an integrated exhaust doesn't leak heat as well as headers, which doesn't make too much sense cause minimizing heat is one of the primary goals in auto design.

thunderbt3

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.

TSX210

Ill send flatbed to UTAH from TEXAS, and iv got fail-omatic!!

UTAH TSX

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

ssjoeboe9

Thanks for the explanation.. wonder how much more efficient it would be to introduce fins along the intake, intake manifold, and valve cover.

Ryan, have any input on this?

ssjoeboe9

I think I may have come up with my senior design project... nice!

TSX210

Well that's good to know, I had to get auto my left leg was like the hulk in my younger days.

UTAH TSX

There put these all over the engine it will cool it down 1 Deg.

Yasser22

When the engine is running at temps below normal operating temperature wear is increased because the tolerances between parts are greater. Coolant passages in the head capture the heat from the exhaust and warm up the rest of the engine. If it were a conventional header, that heat would be lost. Quicker light off of the catalyst is probably the primary reason for the integrated manifold. I would bet the head is actualy more expensive to produce than a traditional style.

Utah, I can't wait to see the final numbers on this great work so far!

UTAH TSX

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

UTAH TSX

Should be getting EFR turbo and other parts in the next couple of days, stay tuned

Varela1

A bro can this fit 2008 honda a cord coupe 2,4l let me know ASAP if you can thanks for your time

UTAH TSX

It will fit but there are no companies making tunning (hondata-ktune etc.) yet

TSX210

Why not run RRC? Didn't Super Street do a good article on Intake Manifolds.

UTAH TSX

It costs double and must use adapter another 165.00 total cost about $700.00
I'm way over budget already trying to save a few bucks still have to buy
Injectors 450.00
fuel pump 175.00
AEM boost controller 320.00
Exhaust at least 100.00 (3in to stock mufflers)
Dyno tune 500.00
