Sweet! We have a meet prob Sat. afternoon or Sunday around noon. I will call Tnelson and we can talk about it. I just got the blow off valve on from the second trip back to Joule. It goes by the tb about 6inches from it. I will get better pics. The manifolds loop around from the back to the front. This is prob my lag problem, and my exhaust leaks is why I am taking those off and doing them myself with a much more efficient setup. I will get dynoed when I have time soon-I just kinda ran out of funds.

Laters, Kyle

like some people on this board would agree, if youre having trouble with funds then dont be afraid to ask for some help, im sure people are willing to contribute to a project like this even if it's not on their cars.

 

That is true DV8, but you should see the sized of my turbo and the piping. Ex. leaks are pretty bad so that just may be the only problem. If people want to contribute I will have dyno runs up in a jiffy! I have nothing against that.
Thanks for the suggestion!

hey kyle, if you wanna run it on a dyno, i can get you dyno runs cheap here. Like 40 bux for 3 pulls. and im sure chris could squeeze you in, he is usually not busy(yes i am on first name basis with my dyno guy)

 

There is always going to be some "lag" felt on a well sized turbo, especially with an automatic. If you size the turbo so small as to build boost from idle up, it will be well out of its efficiency range by the top of the rpm range. The best setup for performance is usually a compromise of the low end where the turbo runs at its peak efficiency range during the 2nd third to the end of the rpm range.

However if the lag is really bad it is most likely due to issues with the setup. The exhaust leaks are most likely the problem, and there could be a boost leak somewhere, check all the charge piping, ic, bov, wastegate, etc. It's one of the most common reasons for bad lag. Pretty stupid of Joule to not correct these issues for you?

Also once the AVC-R is hooked up and tuned properly, it should reduce lag quite a bit. It allows the wastegate diaphram to hold shut until peak set boost level is reached, reducing lag. It also has a duty cycle gain setting, to control how fast boost builds at different rpm.

Theres methods to reduce turbo lag. Thermal wrap on the exhaust manifolds/turbine, etc helps alot, bigger downpipe/exhaust, smaller charge pipes, smaller vacuum lines, setting the boost controller duty cycle correctly, if you have other engine management options you can set up a 2 step rev limit launch, play with timing, ignition cut & retard which is how the anti-lag feature on the aem ems works, by allowing unburnt fuel to ignite in the exhaust manifolds, increasing thermal energy and spooling the turbo up.

With your auto you can just try to brake torque off the line to build boost even before launch, that should get you off the line quicker.

The first thing I would do is fix your exhaust leaks, any boost leaks, get the avc-r tuned, and you should have good spool after this. Then go to the dyno and fine tune everything especially the A/F while you have a wideband available, and show us some nice numbers

That sounds like a job for a high stall torque converter. Can't wait to see the finish product.

 

Those sound like things that I can, and should do. I might take up the dyno oppertunity in OK but I have to talk to my gf first. I still need to find wiring for the AVCR for the legend-maybe the NSX diagram would work because there is nothing for the legend.

Thanks, Kyle

 

My cell is 719-360-6174. Call me sometime Sat. morning to make sure I did not get lost in the woods.
Peace

To hook up your AVC-R you need power, ground, TPS, TACH, and injector.

Here are all the manuals and diagrams for the AVC-R:

Here is a detailed write-up of installation:

Here are some ecu pinout diagrams of other Hondas:

Hmm now all you need to do is just find out which wires on your ecu pinout are TPS, RPM, and the injector one you need.

I was looking in the HELMS, couldn't find the ecu pinout. I'm sure someone here will be able to find it for you. I heard the Haynes manual has the ecu pinouts.

ohhh i wanted to see it dyno ... we still need to meet in denver

 

That is true DV8, but you should see the sized of my turbo and the piping.
Kyle

You should see the size of mine.

What the heck is going on here...

 

They are trying to see who's is bigger?

 

Did you take those silly pills DV8? Just Playin, How big is it? The turbo and piping too. I am still planing on going to parker...I will just be a matter of time and money. I might dyno as is then go back when the probs are fixed.

Peace, Kyle

 

Oh , yea thanks for the diagram links! I really appreciate that. Any luck with the where the other stuff hooks up?

Thanks, Kyle

 

when can we see some more pic?? and what happened over the weekend?

 

Tnelson and LendendZ have pics and vidoe footage! It was bad cause the check engine light would keep coming on. I also cracked the radiator some how.
Thx, Kyle

sorry for the delays guys, the upload is almost complete,give me a sec and ill post the links.

 

ok, the images are pretty big and some ppl want to see the details so im just gonna post the links.

Okay... wow now this thread caught my attention again

 

Now to get it running right and actually fast enough to beat Tnelson's nitroused legend. I wanna hear the details of that race anyways.

ENJOY!

MY MY MY, Jouole really slapped Kyle with a unplanned turbo kit. while i applaud the fact it was made i cannot belive that they actually ran the exhaust dump pipe under the engine. not to mention the intercooling piping around the radiator support. I hope the roads are better there than here because all that stuff would get crushed. Dont plan on slamming you car anytime soon.
