Car TalkRe: Pros And Cons Of Installing A Turbocharger In Nigeria by Conner44: 4:46pm On Sep 27, 2021
Kelvin30286063:
This your list is very wrong and that your budget is very unreasonable. Even some of the cars that comes with built in turbocharger don't cost 50k usd brand new. I may not have full knowledge about this but I know I don't need half of those things on your list.
The car has 275hp already. You think it can't handle 200 more?
Yes your engine can handle more hp but the main question is for how long?

your stock engine wasn’t built to handle the extra power hence the need for you to get higher quality racing pistons, rings, conrod and crankshaft. If you should turbo that stock engine without enforcing the interior part of the block it will eventually blow up ie. throw a rod and all your money and hard work will be flushed down the drain.

Car key fob programmers can not help you. What you need is someone who can program your ECU (brain box) or you’d buy an aftermarket chip that will run alongside your current brain box. The stock brain box will handle the car’s electrical systems and the chip computer will handle only your engine and transmission system.

Head over to acurazine forums and learn from people who have done what you’re trying to do.

MotorGuru:
What you would need:

Preparation:
Detailed knowlege of current out put(HP and Torque) at defined RPMs

Items:
2. Matchable turbocharger and associated kit( after target HP and Torque have been agreed upon)
3. Waste-gate
4. Inter-cooler
5. Associated plumbing kit(Manifold to inter-cooler and then to radiator)
6. New exhaust manifold system to be fabricated to fit selected turbocharger
7. New intake manifold system to be fabricated to fit inlet side of Turbocharger
8. Upgraded Pistons and Connecting rods( in order to handle high boost pressures). This means an engine teardown
9. Redesigned camshaft profiles (may be taken care of by proper engine mapping since engine is VVT)
10. Wiring harness
11. Engine (ECU) mapping service
12.Transmission internals upgrade and TCU mapping (transmission will be torn-down and internals upgraded to handle the increased HP and Torque)
13. Upgraded radiator/engine cooling system
14.Possible structural modification/fabrication to allow new parts.
15. Experienced personnel/ Engineers to handle the job


And some i may have forgotten to mention

This may set you back 30-50K USD (more than 4 times the amount for your car if you are considering value)
Wonderful post but Why did you list it all out like this at once? If op gets discouraged now it means you’ve gone and thrown spanner into all the promising things we could have seen on this thread.

Same thing some guys did with the guy who has been trying to paint his car by himself.

Op no fear. You got this. All you really need is money, google, patience, brain and another car to use while the project is ongoing. What the above poster said is true. You’d need everything on that list done if you really want to do it right.

Kelvin30286063:
I'm considering a turbocharger not a supercharger. There is no mods apart from a new intake.
Okay. if it’s a turbo you’d still need to get a computer to remap your transmission shift points to match with the new revolution count of your turbocharged engine.

If you install a turbo without the computer tuning the car will run but not smoothly because your gear will be confused on when to up shift and down shift.

Car TalkRe: Pros And Cons Of Installing A Turbocharger In Nigeria by Conner44: 3:43pm On Sep 26, 2021
Op what engine is in yours? A 3.5 or 3.7? What current mods have you got under your hood?

its a nice project idea but to do it properly you’d will also need a manual gearbox from another car that will bolt on to your current engine and a new computer chip to assist the brain box utilize it’s new supercharged power output to your wheels.

Automatic cars and aftermarket supercharger mods don’t play nice most of the time.

Hello gurus in the house.

Please can I change my transmission fluid from Dextron to Honda DW1 without flushing the transmission?

Flushing will cost much..... Can I just drain and replace?
Drain and refill twice with 3 liters of DW1 each time after a drive of at least 20kms between fills. Never ever flush your Honda transmission... ever. Or your name will be sorry.

To say I know this guy as a course mate is the most painful feeling I have gotten this morning.

He was one guy you would always advise to leave the army... “guy, you are too good for this army.”


A poem to you and all serving regulars:

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Nigeria is not worth dying for.

No country is worth it.

Human government has failed.


Indeed, life is a mist.

Originakalokalo:
According to you, one can determine the milage of a used engine?

Are you sure?
Yes oh. Especially if it was pulled out from a vehicle that has a carfax history. You’d take the engine number and search out more details of the vehicle it came out from like vehicles model, year and the history of maintenance on the vehicle along with the mileage these procedures were performed right until they pulled out the engine either because it had an accident or something.

So that’s why checking it out before buying is good. You’d be able to avoid buying a bad one if you could and buy the specific type for your vehicle. Also if a car had a head on collision you’d know if it bust through the chassis and affected the engine.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Conner44: 11:29am On Sep 16, 2021
Originakalokalo:
Thank you. Your response is highly appreciated.

If I may ask, were all engines of Honda Accord 2007 produced in 2007?
Just know that if you’re buying a 2004 Honda Accord the chassis would have been manufactured that same year, I believe the interior components too and anything specific to that particular model year of that car’s trim level (E.g. gearbox, and suspension components)

As for the engine I can’t say. I believe the management of these companies have a specific amount of engines they want to produce for a season and then start building them. They will then store or send these built units to other factories for assembly. This is because two or three different models of their vehicles can share the same engine. They might build the engine last year and then it will be dropped into a vehicles engine bay this year but the design and specifications of that particular engine remains the one used in 2007.

A practical example is my situation. I’ve changed engine before. I drive a 4cyl Honda Accord but it’s engine is from a 4cyl Honda odyssey and it works fine.

Originakalokalo:
have questions that have bothered me for a while.....

1. What's a Belgium engine?

2. If I buy a Belgium engine of Honda Accord 2007 for instance, is the engine 14 years old? ( 2007 when it was produced to 2021)

3. were all the engines of All Honda Accord 2007 produced in 2007?

That takes me back to question Number 1,

What is a Belgium engine?

Should I treat a Belgium engine of Honda Accord 2007 as high milage engine since "it was produced 14years ago?"

Gurus in the house....

Kindly give your inputs.
Before an engine can be said to be ‘high mileage’ it should have been used to power a vehicle further than at least 100,000 miles according to the vehicle manufacturers and it should be above 75,000 miles according to engine oil manufacturers (for warranty purposes) while individuals who utilize these engines usually see their vehicles as being of a higher mileage once they are in the 150,000 - 200,000 miles range because a properly maintained engine (from a manufacturer like Honda) usually surpasses the 500,000 miles range.

The 2007 Honda Accord uses either a K24A engine or a J30 engine. Different variations of these engines were used in Honda Accord models from the years 2003 - 2012. These engines all look alike with similar tops and bottoms but their main differences were in compression numbers and their throttle actuation modes (electrical or drive by wire)

In reality one can use the engines interchangeably between the Accord models but the only differences are if your vehicles ecu uses the cable or electronic throttle mode. So the engine top and bottom should work but you may need to switch the throttle body and/or intake manifold for it to be a perfect match.

An engine made in 2010 should have a lesser mileage than that made in 2003 all things being equal. That is why it is good to have a vin check on any tokumbo engine you wish to buy to determine the mileage, year and model of manufacture of that particular engine before buying it.

I will advise you to use a normal synthetic engine oil of the required weight for a tokumbo engine and if there are leaks handle it but if it’s burning then switch to the high mileage type before ever considering a higher weight of oil as a solution.
