sending the gasket to a place so they can make a flange and my boy is making me a custome steel manifold... and if you are looking for one we can work on the price for ya after we test and tune and you see results... i have a 60-1 garret turbo with tail wastegate and blowoff valve i'll be installing... doing the intercooler and piping this week and will be recieving flashpro friday... iv have the car for only a year, got bored of it being slow... iv had a full vibrant exhaust since day 1 lol.... shit is fun ass hell... i got the base model front wheel drive one... weight reduction

 

sidewinder by the way... now question... the turbo cams that you put in it... was it k20 or k24 turbo cams? i was thinking about putting some k20 stage 2 all motor cams to BEEF IT UP

 

all motor cams will most likely have to much overlap. which will hurt power. talk to the guys at BC about cams. and start your own build thread with lots of pics.!.

 

Do you have a part number for the cams you used? How are they holding up? Did you ever get the knock sensor issue worked out? Thanks....

 

They were K20a3 stage 2 turbo cams.

 

Part# BC0051

 

Spoke to skunk 2... They said we can use all motor cams, just going to have vtec engaged on the exhaust side which leades to shitty gas mileage... Ok so k20 cams do fit in there

 

Starting this weekend with front mount and piping with rrc intake manifold... And bov

 

Yeah, I was going to do Killer cams. But, my Stage 2 turbo BC cams were good enough for now. They caused the knock sensor to go wild though.

 

woooooorrrd... i didnt know this but when you remove the turbo manifold you can use a k20 turbo manifold... i might use the k24z3 cams, about the same lobes, but i think they are a little more aggresive. but going to so the k20 sidewinder with 60-1.... intercooler i might get creative with.. will post pictures up when im done

 

Well I didn't remove the turbo manifold. I only took off the turbo when I upgraded it. The manifold has coolant running through it. I'm sure the coolant lines can be bypassed. I'm not sure about the fitment of the k20 exhaust/turbo manifold matching up with k23 head. This hasn't been tested yet.

 

good luck.

 

In order for the RDX to run a front mount intercooler, there will be some serious cutting required. The underside isn't open like the Civic's and RSX's. I wish it were, because that would have been one of the first mods for the RDX in my opinion.

 

Im installing the intercooler piping and bov with flashpro today... Will post pictures

 

Grill is going back on also

 

there is plenty of room... vertical flow FTW!!! lol

 

question, about the coolant passage, does it flow internally thru the motor? cuz the lines i would just by pass them... not really going to pull my hair on it... i notice the gasket has ports for it i believe

 

The piping doesn't wrap around as smooth as it would if it were a RSX or Civic. And what do you plan on doing with the map sensor that is on the TMIC?

 

Man looks like a 20g would bolt right to the stock manifold.

 

You will need an adapter, because it is not a prefect square.

 

Ok, it looks like this was just put in that space. Also that grill will need serious trimming, hopefully your trans cooler will still get sufficient airflow, and if you plan to run the piping that way; yes, you will need to cut. Unless you plan on running 1-to-1 1/2 inch piping through the small space. I'm not just saying this for nothing, I've had my bumper off plenty of times and consider the FMIC a million times. But, with all the sensor surrounding the TMIC and the small spaces, it just wouldn't work effectively. But if you can figure it out, then kodos to you.

 

if kraz3RdX really work it all out.. then he gonna be the first to ever make it happen Front intercooler . one word SEXY ! i am so looking forward for that end project

 

hey ken have you thought of upgrading the inside turbo wheels ? or upgrading bigger? 15-18?

 

Well, technically its not the first FMIC setup for RDX.

 

really? i thought it couldnt be done cause of all those stuff on the way or maybe its just not worth the money to do it

 

I'll have to do a vid, because most of you have for got what my mods are.

 

I currently have an upgraded turbo with 17t wheel from EverGreen turbo.

OEM vs EG



EG vs OEM

 

hey ken thanks for reply back. may i ask how you pay for that ? and what i need to do if i want to have a upgrade like yours ? part number any other parts need upgrade to make it work ?

 

1)
- setup #1
тюнинг двигателя и не только он - International Acura Club

- setup #2
RDX 2010 обвес - International Acura Club

And there are more of them.

2) FMIC is adding a huuuuge lag.

3) FMIC is very expensive.

Our turbo part number is:TD04HL-15TK31-VFT 49389-01031

All you do is contact them and let them know you are sending the turbo, pay through paypal, over the phone, etc.. He will provide the parts. Here is the first RDX turbo upgrade that EverGreen did (my turbo). GTX wheel, clipped exhaust side, rebuild.

 

Yeah, those don't look friendly at all. Almost all custom and I'm sure lags like crazy, little turbo and long piping!

 

You need to rev up to 4,5k rpms to get on positive spool.

 

thanks ken. can i know how long it take for them to finish the job ? like if i get the parts would i be able to get the upgrade done in one day ? because i need it for work . and how much psi are you running with those now ? my stock im hitting 14psi at the moment and maybe i need turbo upgrade after i got those 600cc injectors/boost gaude done this friday.

 

Geez...

 

I think it took 3-4 weeks. He may not work on it if you provide the parts. Because people in the pass bought cheap chinese parts and their turbos broke and blame him. But, it wasn't him it was their cheap parts, so he would have to order the parts, highly suggested. If you were going to do this, I would recommend buying an extra RDX turbo and send it to him.

 

I wonder if 18t would work.

 

I don't think so, our turbo is weird. I have already tried to get that kind of wheel in; however, he didn't recommend it.


"Got the turbo in...thats a TD04 not seen with those end housings...crazy....been trying to find a billet comp wheel....not found one yet....I'll update you tomorrow....your bearings did have some wear on them...so good you got into it now....what is the time frame to have this back...could take a week waiting on billet comp when I find it."

"Hi Ken,
Ok there must be different versions of this turbo? Can you get the actual part number off his turbo...I am curious as to what his PN is vs. yours.... one thing I don't recall building that turbocharger and I am not in the city he describes..altho it is my cell number?? why he has that insted of my 800 is odd....anyways the 18T replacement wheel is same profile as his turbo by his post...and in billet...but it does not match yours...this is gotten interesting to know what the facts are and if there are really two different turbos...if there is two different turbos..his is a larger comp side which is what you want.

let me know

Thanks
Charlie"


"So, what size wheel are you able to fit in the RDX turbo?, 17t would be the safest."
