hey... does anyone know a good site (or 5) with turbos? i'm just thinking about all the things i could do to this poor lil car... =D turbo is one of my options, i already found stuff for the suspension and such...

oh, and if anyone has ideas.... give me some!! no body kits, no spoilers... can't have a body kit anyways if i'm autocrossing... but help me out people =)

 

why don't you tell us about your car so we can make suggestions?

i think you better off getting a custom turbo set-up if their are shops that can do that in your area.

 

I agree with AccordSleeper. Custom shops will be able to help you build a turbo that will meet your needs specifically (in this case, autocrossing). And with you living in CA, there shouldn't be any particular lack of those shops. Just find a reputable place to build one.

Another option if you have the cash is to use the H22A4 Prelude motor and then turbocharge that. Jackson Racing makes a turbocharger for it, but that entire setup plus installation can easily run you $6000-$7000.

 

The JRSC will not fit in an Accord with an H22. There is no room for the pulley system to fit between the shock tower. Besides turbo has more potential especially if you got money and the JRSC doesn't seem to provied the advertised power and has blown some motors.

 

Does this only apply to the smaller 5th generation Accords? I didn't know that. And I didn't hear about any power defeceits being reported from the JRSC.

Thanks.

 

well the theory with a 6th gen is that if it could fit, they would have released it for the f23. their is still a tight fit for 6th gen w/h22s also in the strut tower and firewall area just like 5th gens although their may be room. yeah JRSC seem to be overrated in general from what i hear. i have no personal experience with one or know anyone with one. on po.com we did talk a guy from nashua out of a JRSC for his lude.

 

Hmm. I recall Car & Driver test driving a supercharged Focus and it ran 8.4 seconds to 60mph (it was a ZX3). Stock runs 8.7. JRSC said it made 187HP. They said they didn't have problems with traction or anything. I guess there is some :bs:

 

SCC tested the first JRSC lude a few years ago and traction was a huge problem on street tires. Another reason for turbo.

 

if youre doin autocrossing with this car theres no point in turboing. autocrossing needs high RPMs. go with the H22 for this situation. the turbo will run really hot if you push it to its limits for as long as an autocross event would be. if you do decide that you really wanna go turbo then go with a T3, T28, or T25. it wont produce a whole lot more power like a T3/T4 would but it would spool a whole lot quicker which is good for autocrossing. for a turbo check out www.f-max.com www.turbokits.com (dont really like that site) i believe theres also a guy on this board that sells DRAG kits pretty cheap. do a search to find him
