My Honda Accord Type R Big Turbo
Discussion
Weather has been just as s
t here as it has in Canada. :lol:
Well i got the bonnet on and the im pretty happy with the current vent, sprayed in PB and with black mesh. I like it. Makes the car look mean.
Next week i'll get the bumper black meshed in and the grille finished which is just the surround in CF and black mesh. Im gonna go over the lights, with some wet and dry and g3, get them looking better. The bonnet has been mopped so next week and i can do the rest of the car.
Got a new FAL slim fan coming for the rad as the OEM one isnt doing the job, which i will fit next week and wire upto a switch. Thermostat out, and coolboost in. Turbo blanket on and i reckon im done for now. :lol:
Im sure i'll make more changes.......wind deflectors? lol.
2 pics from yesterday after the intercooler was sprayed black, soo much better.

Jay, vent looks good.
Cheers dude 
Saturday i worked flat out on the car, got a fair bit done:
1) Fit red wheels nuts - ohhh yeah
2) Fit wind deflectors - sik y0 lol
3) Make Custom Pipe and heatwrap, this goes on to a large SAMCO elbow of the turbo and into a HKS Mushroom filter
4) Remove RAD, fit 2 new slim fans either side of the RAD.
5) Drain all coolant / water out, then run EVANS flush, drain that out then put in EVANS Coolant.
6) Heatwrap some parts up with new heatwrap.
7) Wire in the 2 new fans, into a switch on the dash.
The AIR FILTER setup was removed as it cause a big power loss!!
Well i had a lazy day Sunday, got busy with other stuff. I finished the grille pretty much on the ATR, and thats about it, Put it back on and gave a quick clean.
Next weeks tasks are to Lamin-X, Mesh Out Front Bumper, Spray visible intercooler pipe black, and the car is done. I put the center caps on to see what they look like but will be taking them off.
Next thing is to drop out the gear box, and look at options (because ive lost reverse). Sequential is going to be expensive, ive been told you can get them for £3500 from the US for B-Series, Max id want to spend would be around £1200. So i think i'll either keep my box, or go Prelude and get longer ratios, and build up using Carbon Syncro's and Gears. Im also going to put a header tank in.
Here are some pics

Hi All,
Well i thought i better get an update here. Ive not done anything to the car over the summer, to be honest ive not really driven it as i had somthing else which also fun.
So my gearbox needs an overhaul, but it tops out at 180mph @ 9200rpm on 45profile tyres....Now some of you might remember i mentioned maybe trying to get nearer 200mph, as i didnt think it had been done in a FWD car let alone Honda 4 Door Saloon in the UK.
Well ive just ordered a Prelude LSD Manual 5 Speed JDM Gearbox which will give me gearing to get 201mph @ 9200rpm on 45 profile tyres. As said before im not going all out and determind to his 200mph, id just like to get close. It hit 180mph pretty quickly before, and i know theres more in it, maybe another 10mph.
Anyhow, Carbon Lined Syncro's are all on the way to refresh the weak parts in the gearbox.
Im also bring the car on the road for daily use. So the mega insane FX700 Clutch and Flywheel will be going, and probably a stage 4 sprung clutch and flywheel going in. Ive also ordered a Full Size Koyo Race RAD, Which means the slam pannel will need to go and i'll need bonnet pins. Oh EGT too.
Also adding a small 5" fan on the Oil Cooler
I think thats it really, it will go for a map check before i start trying to max out 5th gear again, just make sure its all right. Will see if we can hit the 200mph on the dyno first in 5th gear.
I was thinking about adding a set of custom brian crower cams, but might leave them out, as off boost the car drives around like a standard ATR and still gives me 30mph on a run lol. Its almost the best of both worlds under 4000rpm a cruiser above 5000rpm a mental mother flipper!
I'll post updates once the gearbox is done and shes up and running again, im starting to get excited just thinking about it!

God dam, this is awesome.
Just a simple question though, excuse my ignorance, you probly been asked this already. Why not turbo the DC2 or the DC5? id of though they'd be better starting blocks? Or can the ATR lump take the power better?
Cheers. Ive had a couple of DC2's and DC5's so i wanted to try something different without getting a Civic. The B18/K20/H22 when you start doing what i have done are all the same to boost really. You can get the power out of them. The DC2 just wouldnt put 500hp down. I do wish id done one of them now as you can kits for them, everything on this ATR has been custom made as you cant get kits lol. But the ATR puts the power down really well being bigger and slightly heavier. Just a simple question though, excuse my ignorance, you probly been asked this already.

Cheers Jon,
Ive been busy with work but no im focusing on the car again. Gearbox will be done by next weekend. I'll be fitting the new rad / fans tomorrow.
Then the weekend after i can get the gearbox back in, EGT, screamer pipe modified to Atmosphere and a quick map check.
Then i can see what top spead she will do

Just found this thread and read all 13 pages.....
Total dedication and timeout for posting all the pics and engine build.
Really hope it breaks 200mph - although I know that's not the goal. Must torque steer like a fker in the dry - fk knows what it's like in the wet!!
I salute you dude.

Thanks. i really wanted to keep a diary of the build as it was the biggest ive ever done! In the dry its ok in 3rd onwards on full throttle on A048R tyres. In 2nd i have to half throttle, so its not too bad, just have to learn to drive it, and not be heavy footed. I think the smoothness is helped by the boost coming in around 4500 - 5500rpm, its really smooth on boost upto 9000rpm. Total dedication and timeout for posting all the pics and engine build.

How did that Sierra take 850bhp+ to crack 200?Is the ATR geared for slow acceleration/high top end?
That did it at Bruntingthrope i think, so over 1.3 miles or something. I will need a longer run up, hence i'll just drive over to Germany and use the Autobahn lol. The stock gearbox was really short as it was to help 2.2 N/A be quicker, hence topping out around 175mph @ 9000.
Video here of when it had 475hp and 5 up.

Prelude box is longer and alot better for boosted application. Hopefully will be re-fitting the gearbox on the weekend
Car should be on the dyno for a map check in a couple of weeks i reckon. Then more video's lol.
