Great work on sorting it yourself matey !
-
Amen to that my good man
-
Which variant is it ?
-
I cant really compare as ive never "manually" bled a car like that before. I used a vacuum bleeder.. But I can imagine you sitting there for quite a while to get it all out !
-
Yeah you got it
-
Yeah been through that one .. Great build
-
@KiNK43 yeah i think your right mate, something like a 3 year warranty on the mani, 6 month on the turb and then 24 month if they fit it .. TD05 is a pretty good turbo by all accounts, quick spool and keeps going top end .. From what i've read and seen, should return around 250 @ 7-8 psi .. And could be cranked up higher .. Swings and round abouts really .. Difficult to know which route to take ..
-
Sounds like a plan of action mate .. Defo sounds like an air issue with the pedal gradually going soft ..
-
Doesnt everyone know cattle country!? lol .. Its a kiidies adventure play park place ..

Looks smart mate What you should do is get your gold membership and add the civic5 sticker there

The f18 was 135 SOHC was a cracking engine to be fair and shifted the accord well for what it was. For me it's just the B, H, K, D, engines there are so many more parts available. If you want to go down the purist route and stick with the F then great, I just think to squeeze another 70bhp (if wiki is accurate) out of it will be a costly exercise.
-
And @KiNK43 it can defo be done on a budget mate and be reliable. So many people have done it, then it's like you said @Aerodeckcivic it's all about the mapping.
-
Their basic set up is a twin scroll td05 from an evo though which is the only thing that puts me off. Restricts you if you ever want to change. Plus that's only mani, turbo, IC & IC pipe work. It's pricey.
-
If I were you mate, I'd drop a h22 in. I had the old f18 in my accord sport and looked into tuning that, wasn't worth the cost tbh.
-
Exactly
-
Thanks Jake
-
Where there a will there's a way Jake old boy But your right, your looking at a figure of 2k once your mapped and running.
-
Cheers dude.
-
Completely agree mate. I think you can get away with a decent cast mani, one that has a collector style casting with a central wastage feed if your going to run an external. These are considerably cheaper than a decent SS one. You'll pay £600+ for a decent SS that won't crack. Obv out of it all the turbo is the key component in terms of hardware. Been using ATP turbos for reference and your looking at about £700 delivered on the gt2861r which is a lot, BUT you'll almost never need to replace it.

Haven't updated this in a while, not really an update, but here's some whoring on a day out to cattle country today. Loooowwwwwsssss Oooo how I love PB

Not to give away the game too much, but I've been doing ALOT of research into this over the last couple of months. 1st point, our blocks will take 350 on a good map with no problem at all. 250 isn't stressin it at all. Running a gt25 is the wrong turbo for our engines. It's not large enough to maintain boost up top and I bet it that setup was running alot of boost. A gt28 from what I have read is the preferable turbo, something like the gt2861r ball bearing. Expensive but as Krzys has said, the turbo and the mani are the main hardware components you need to shell out on. Then on the other side it's choosing someone good to map it. The hardware is useless without the correct map. Food for thought though, my two pence worth.
-
Nooooo!!!! No auto trader!!! If there's still a soft feeling/sponginess it has to be air in the system. when you bled at at the begging, did you start at the rear nearside? Also did you use the old spanner and bottle way, for a vacuum bleed kit?
-
You had it remapped yet @hubert?

My PB MB9 Aerodeck! Engine rebuild in progress
