98AccordEX,

I've been looking for Pistons and rods. Looks like Wiseco (raceeng.com) will make custom piston for a good price and Pauter will make custom rods I think. Currently nothing is available on the market. Any reason you need to sleeve the block? Do you plan to run that much boost?

Have you thougt about just building and installing an F22 there is nearly everything on market for one of those blocks and I figure boost can over come the slight lose in displacement

I'm really scared of bolting an Fmax turbo onto my F23A (48k mi) in my 2000 coupe. I don't know why, it just seems like such a bad idea to boost the little trooper. Did you install your V-AFC unit? Is it hard to tune your fuel curve for the turbo? How fast does the turbo come on, 3000-4000rpm?

I was hoping to make 175hp/175torq at the wheels with a great head port and 11:1 pistons, lighter rods and flywheel but your turbo numbers a 6lbs of boost seem to kill that dream a bit
