H22 Turbo setup.

[ThePacman]

I am considering getting her tuned ASAP.....

Options are....

101 Motorsport.....
Cost, $770. but they won't be able to fit me in till 4-6 weeks time....

High Power Racing.....
Cost, $660. They can fit me in next Thursday. This is the option which is most convenient for me....

999 Automotive.....
Cost, $880. But will do it for me for $660, (thats 4 hours with the tuner and dyno). They can fit me in TOMORROW or SATURDAY.
But I honestly won't have the money till next thursday...

Decisions decisions.....

Enjoy the wild turkey mate

So heard hi power tuned must be hell fun to drive

[ThePacman]

I did, and will mate.

Not being much of a drinker, a 4 pack lasts me an entire weekend though. LOL

Well, the hondata its tuned, it has a nice safe tune which delivers a very usable 214.6fwhp.

Not huge numbers I know. But I'm very happy with it.

Keeping in mind that at this stage the motor has completely stock internals, with almost 250 000km on the clock.

It's making full boost (only 10lb mind you) before 3000rpm and it's within about 20hp of full power by 5000-5500rpm. Holding it through to about 7000rpm before doing off.

The biggest problem I have now is my old 2.5 inch exhaust. It is just suffocating the motor...

But for now, I'm very happy, and plan on just enjoying driving the car a while...

Credit and thanks where it's due.....

I'd like to thank Ivan and the guys down at high Power Racing. (Slacks creek Brisbane)
For looking after me with the tune.

He worked with me on my difficult schedule, and kept my engine safe for me.

Thanks guys....!!

Yes mate, it is...
I've only driven it for about 20 minutes so far, but I plan on fixing that this weekend.

But yes, it's awesome fun. Power delivery is early, with a good wide band.

It is what I'd hoped for. It's not a ridiculous bitch to drive, still very comfortable.

It's exactly how I wanted it....

(p.s. Where did you heart it was tuned at HPR...? LOL)

[ThePacman]

Dyno sheets time.....
Graph 1 shows power of course, but also air/fuel.... I know it's quite rich. But rich is safe....
And the power curve is quite good in my opinion, making over 200hp by 5000rpm, and holding that till after 7000...


This shows power and torque....


And this one shows power with boost.... Building 5lb by 3000rpm (very early) and full boost (10lb) by 4000rpm. I put this down to the liquid to air intercooler...


All in all, I'm happy. But I think I've mentioned that already....

[DLO01]

Well done mate.

[Jccck]

Is your H22A still of standard compression?
I would have expected a heap more power from 10 PSI taking into account compression and that wild turbo manifold.
My Accord has the same amount of power when on low boost setting (9 PSI) at 9.1:1 (standard f22a) compression.. With only a log manifold.
Just seems strange, is all.

[Sexc86]

Maybe next mod would be a H2B conversion steve?

[ThePacman]

I'm going to have to get used to it a while first, before I make any decisions about what comes next....

well, thats not exactly true. Next is a larger turbo (28/76)) and a better exhaust.

The biggest reason my power curve didn't continue climbing from the 200 ish fwhp at 5000ish rpm was my old n/a 2.5 inch exhaust, complete with STOCK cat....

The turbo wanted to keep going, but the small exhaust was suffocating the motor.

Ivan said that if I got a new 3 inch exhaust, and a big cat, I could easily see another 20 or 30 fwhp....

It has been tempting me, but the car is great for now.....

[mooshie]

your turbo is too small...

in your first post you said you didnt want to change the T28 rear housing bolt pattern so the biggest you could go is a GT3071R in the T28 housing.

i upgraded to this turbo from a GT2860RS (.64 rear) and picked up 22kwatw at 8PSI with no other changes although did lose up to 9kw between 3000-4000rpm running 2.5inch exhaust from the turbo, log manifold and makes 166kwatw now.

better off getting a new flange on there and go up to the T3 style turbos i reckon.

[ThePacman]

I'm limited with space with my manifold. Which I'm not willing to ditch.

But a 28/76 wil fit in fine, couple that with a 3 inch exhaust, and I'll make more power. But I'm not willing to loose my mid range.

Remember, this is a driver. I drive this car. It's smooth, fun and reliable as it is.... And for now, I'm loving it....
