this is the air filter i pland on puting in the on in those pictures was just on from my cia i put on for looks in the photos. and i might run some piping into the fender well and put an air filter on it there, or leave the filter directly on the inlet and build a box around it with an elbow that leads to outside the engine compartment. we'll just have to see what i feel like doing when its done, one thing i am considering not too far down the road is water-meth injection.
I was also running in the 8-10lb range. I've got an injection system but never got around to using it. When the engine is finished, I'll have it tuned with and without.
Learned by example how very little detonation can damage the stock pistons on the J32. In your case, the J35 may be a bit beefier. Yungone501 would be a good resource for that answer. After the pissing contest earlier, I doubt he visits here much though.
turbo manifold is just about ready to go to the welders just got to get the holes drilled for the 02 sensors. after that. the down pipe
here is the back manifold, kinda tricky to get this one. in lost a couple of spare elbows in the process.
i might not go with this badge on the new cover i might just go to a trophy shop and have a new plate made for it. opinions anyone?
Looking good! What size downpipe off of the turbo are you going to use? 2.5 or 3in? I figure it is going to run behind the motor and down, like the stock precat would? Is there enough room with the exhaust manifold coming to the turbo there?
Also, do you have a bracket for the turbo or is it held soley by the manifold?

we made a bracket to hold the turbo up the manifold is a little long to hold the turbo up had to twist the bracket a bit to get the turbo to line up with where the charge pipe is gonna go. the down pipe is gonna be tricky to run it the way we want to. it has to go out at about 30 degrees for about half a foot and then up and over the rear manifold. and somehow we have to find a way go under the exhaust head then down and under the engine mount. and yes it will be 3"

Send it to us as a nonrefundable deposit LOL, we need it bad.
We are about done spending money on parts all I can think of that we still need is spark plugs but we still need to get the manifold and down pipe Titanium High Heat Ceramic Coating done by Rukse Development and that will be a couple hundred bucks uuuuuhhhhhh we have been bleed dry of cash but almost done

Yah this stuff is so expensive, I'm sure you're already in it for a few thousand.
Another expense will be tuning, that time on the dyno with a tuner is probably another several hundred once things are all done.

Yeah whats sad is how unprepared I was for it. When my dad said it was expensive he was not kidding.
And the time as well. If im not working at one of my jobs im working on my car. Last saturday I got off work at 8. Just to work on my car till at least 2 am. Thank god im single.
This is the plug that NGK recommends with 12 PSI max boost with .033 gap NGK# BKR7EIX does this sound like the right one to you ? http://www.ngk.com/product.aspx?zpid=9352

The stock plug is a 6 heat range plug so 2 steps colder that seems like it would have some fouling issues for a street car, anyone have problems with the plugs not self cleanning and fouling out after a few months ??
Manifolds, down pipe, exhaust flex pipe, all done on there way to Ruske Performance Coatings Monday to get titanium coated,
We are getting close all of the major fabrication is finished, oil pan is off getting oil drain -10AN fitting welded on, the only thing left to buy is an air filter (I'm sure some other expensive thing was forgotten LOL)
This was the unexpected cost on my car OUCH

Ever get the downpipe finished or will that be after the coating?
I was curious - what size is the oval on the exhaust port or the p2r flange? Did you use a 3in weld el transitioned to 2.5in? What about the pipe diameter into the turbo flange?
I would like to REALLY emphasize the severity of heat these manifolds will contribute to the engine compartment. Had my setup ceramic coated, titanium wrapped, wrapped again in ceramic wool, then once more in oem Bmw heat shielding. That's what it FINALLY took to make underhood temps manageable. Before doing this, detonation and cooling system issues were almost uncontrollable...these two problems went hand in hand mind you.
The accord is my daily driver and wanted absolute reliability. Up till my 4g TLS dash swap, that was one of the most challenging problems that was presented since beginning this build.

Cant remembrr the diameter of the port but we went with 3" off of it and i lined up quite well so that would be my guess. We stepped down to 2.5 shortly after the exhaust port and ran that all the way to the turbo
update. got my manifold in for ceramic coating. going with a high temp titanium coat inside and out, have my oil pan and a couple pieces of charge pipe ready to weld along with my blow-off valve. did my first valve adjustment as well while im waiting, after that just have a few modifications to the intake manifold and some heat wrapping and im going to be ready to tune

Very cool! I can't wait to see the finished install!
got the manifold pieces and the down pipe back from the coating place.
decided to do a little photo op before i turn in for the night.
gotta be at work at three thirty in the morning, but after work im off till next year, so i have plenty of time to put it all back together, finish moving things around, and installing my gauges.
hopefully i can have it all done before i return to work.
