I'm not sure yet. We just got it running right tonight. Plan on taking it to the dyno next week.

Wow, love that turbo!    Intrigued to do some research on it, especially if it can add a little power with the stock internals... Welcome to ECM

EDIT:  Care to enlighten us on the specific components (i.e. parts list) used on the KMOD Basic turbo kit?  Relative costs? Expected power/torque gains? Engine management?  Thanks!

[CrackerTeg]

Agreed.

Sure
parts include: precision 55mm turbo, cast log turbo manifold, 38mm wastegate, type-s blow off calve, and gs intercooler. A more detailed parts list can be found on kmods website ( http://www.kmodperformance.com/Forced-Induction.html )
The kit it self is 1900. not including an engine management system or installation.
Im running the Aem Fic. i will probably switch to the hondata k pro.

At kmod he says we will probably see at least 100 hp gain to the wheels....We wont know for sure until friday. The plan is to get it to the dyno friday.

My Experience with the turbo. So far i have spent around 3,000 on the turbo. I added a boost gauge and air fuel ratio gauge the list of items i wanted included. that price include the installation and tune. i estimate if you get the hondata k pro and all the things i got total price would be around the 3,300- 3,400 price range.

So the engine internals (cam, intake manifold, retainer valves, pistons, etc.) are stock?  Is this being installed, tested and dyno'd at KMOD?

[timot_one]

Did Kmod dyno your car before the turbo kit was installed? If you decide to go down the kpro route, I'm guessing you will need a different engine harness and a cable throttle body. That's what had to be done to the two k24a8 Accord that are running kpro.

I have seen some decent gains with a turbo set up on a stock k24a4. I'm not sure about the turbo specs, but you will hopefully see a 100 whp gain.

yes all the internals are stock. im only going to be running 5lbs of boost.  Yes it is being installed and tested at kmod. He doesnt own a dyno yet but theres one down the street and he will do the tune

No kmod didnt dyno it before the install. yes i believe he already changed the engine harness. the two k24a8 accords did they also have a turbo set up?

[timot_one]

They were k24a4 Accords with turbos.  I had my stock k24a4 boosted too, but never dyno'd it before I swapped the motor for a k24a2.
