I'm Turbocharging Honda's Most Underrated Vehicle

[@mmavcanuck]

It’s super healthy to cook car parts in a food oven. 100%

[@BiffBallbag]

It adds flavor, live a little.

[@rx733612]

Neighbors probably think you cook meth.😂 im sure they smell the fumes.

[@jayknight139]

and carcinogens lol ​@@BiffBallbag

[@piercebenjamin]

Gotta turbo charge your metabolism too 💯💪🏽

[@STR8SICCC]

*Hope you don't use that oven to cook food...*

[@RandyOrtonsfather]

He is a dumb ass kid with money what do you expect

[@tinystar3010]

You really aren't supposed to use your home oven to bake paint. It's dangerous and unhealthy. That's why most youtubers who use home ovens to do this usually setup a 2nd used old oven in their garage or work building to diy bake paint.

[@kwigbo]

Yeah... 😬

[@schoofman]

Yes, please DO NOT do this. You will breathe in paint and your food you bake will have paint residue in it. This is why paint shops have paint booths.

[@Vopodop]

He's done this before and I said the same thing.

[@nicg1725]

yes. DO NOT DO THIS.

[@dorianvranjes]

That's not important. But why the hell is - on the right and + on the left???

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

Oh man, I had a 2001 Accord sedan that I pulled the J30A1 and swapped in a JDM J32A, swapped it from auto to manual with a 2003 Acura CL Type-S LSD six speed manual trans, and I fabricated a turbo kit for it with a GTS3582 turbo with a GFB electronic boost controller, 1000cc injectors, and it all ran on an AEM Series II 30-6051 standalone ECU. It made 503 whp at 10 psi.

[@JamesAnderson-fw5ew]

Thats really cool, ive always wanted to do that on a 4th gen odyssey but with the j35 or j37

[@elbertstacy9602]

You have fb or ig I got questions cuz I'm doing that same thing

[@richardgrenier4361]

I have a 99 acoord coupe j30a1 automatic planing on putting j32a2 from cl or tl type s

[@popeantichrist8847]

How much would it cost you to do that?

[@elbertstacy9602]

@popeantichrist8847 so far I'm only in like 1400 or so

[@jvanausdeln]

I figured this was coming… can never resist boosting a Honda.

[@_Gingium_]

too true

[@NoLyinEvry1sDyin]

They just love to move air !!

[@GreekPower]

Hondas most underrated vehicle? Sir I’ll have you know I built and turbo’ed an acura legend sedan. THAT is underrated. This ain’t that hard it’s a J series 😂

[@The101Point1]

Please build another Fred the focus yes I've been around that long make a fast one for the OG's ​@@_Gingium_

[@DJRoyalEdo]

Except it never happened but that is why we came here for, as the title suggests.

[@amdstrollo3074]

Hey dude that was a great watch. BTW if you find you are having issues with power steering noises ever, there's usually 2 o-rings going into the pump that go bad + you can also replace the entire power steering reservoir itself, plus flush all the lines. The reservoir has a filter inside, I replaced it on my '08 accord when I had it and significantly quieted the system. Obviously only use Honda PS fluid too.

[@_Gingium_]

It was loud when I first started it after everything, but after bleeding it it quieted up. Good to know though!

[@amdstrollo3074]

​Good to hear man, I wanted all the noise gone completely and my car wasn't super well maintained and even after several flushes, I still got noise at max steering turn, especially at idle or low speed. ​@@_Gingium_

[@ElCrab]

Yup, that little set of rings was all I needed to shut up the power steering. Easy peasy.

[@alexelrod242]

The p/s pump inlet o-ring has an updated part number, the original is a black o-ring, the new 1 is orange

[@reece7259]

Damn Honda power steering pumps, my Tl 3.2 had a bad one

[@Cojasvim]

Sup man, awesome build I have a gen 6 EU accord myself.. just a heads up - baking the paint in an oven where you also prepare food is a pretty bad idea.. the particles and volatiles stay there for AGES and get onto the food you eat (even though you don't necessarily taste it).. I don't need to tell you why that's super bad.. get a cheap old oven from marketplace to plug into a socket in your warehouse (also great for installing bearings and friction fit stuff.. you don't need a torch)

[@frann949]

thats the content we all petrolheads needs, here in argentina one guy put the same engine with a big turbo in a rear wheel drive Ford Taunus and sounds incredible too

[@frann949]

theres is a video called "TAUNUS V6 TURBO 420 HP "EL GF""

[@EbolaSquirrel]

@@frann949 sounds crazy imma check that out

[@ryanlee3723]

make sure to re-gap those rings if you want anything more then 350 whp! They heat up and touch and blow the ringlands to pieces. Happened to me with my turboed j30.

[@ThmsPtrsn]

He won't, that will be the downfall of this build.

[@longsleevethong1457]

it’s got tHeRmAL gAsKeTs so it can handle the power without gapping rings

[@jcsweet6618]

So happy that turbo j series is finally getting more main stream. I would love to turbo my TL type S some day and if more creators start getting into the platform it may not be too long before we see a full kit get produced.

[@_Gingium_]

Yeah I'm surprised there aren't any kits out there!

[@UncleVenz]

y’all don’t have a turbo kit? my B15 sentra 1.8 has like 5 of them

[@jcsweet6618]

@@UncleVenz there’s a few supercharger kits out there but with how compact the j series engine bays are I don’t think it’s been worth the r&d for a company to step in and make one.

[@UncleVenz]

@@jcsweet6618 that makes sense i had a boosted 3.6 Challenger and couldn’t really fit turbos that great so i went centrifugal sc

[@DripGxd_Cam]

there are kits from slickfab and from halferland performance. both are small companies that focus primarily on j series.

[@pizzamon795]

Now you have my attention. I have 2 of those cars. An 03 in San Marino red and an 06 in Alabaster silver, both 2 door and 6 speed. My 06 is a rare ALL OPTION car, it has the spoiler, fog lights AND navigation with carbon fiber trim and no blank swithes!!!

I just bought a 2016 6-6 with 39k. I've owned a rsx-s. Still own em1. My 6-6 is a masterpiece of a car. What's crazy it's as fast as my cousins 2018 sti.

[@chinafukr69kack31]

I got a black 16 6-6 too, fbo great fun daily.

[@flare749]

Wow. Congrats man, you got an absolute gem in low mileage too! im jealous 😂

[@jordy5650]

@flare749 it really was a great find. I was going to look at a civic si then they had this come in day before. It's not perfect has some cosmetic flaws especially for mileage. But I love it more and more everyday.

[@DG_427]

I think that the wrinkle black was a good choice! Definitely more interesting than the wrinkle red everyone has.

[@mattmisanthropy.]

Yes, I too love the '500k miles of crusting dried on oil' look.

[@pinkyRosy]

those are some fancy parts

[@84gssteve]

Another important step before painting metal parts (especially iron) is to heat the parts with a plumber's torch right before painting. Not too hot, but enough to drive off moisture and expose any residual grease, oil or cleaner left behind.

[@airdromeaccount7922]

This is the video us J series guys have been waiting for because 99% of us either dont have the funds or the time to do it. Props to Gingium!

[@thesicksix405]

Absolutely! Been waiting on J series videos like this! It absolutely was a very overlooked car!

[@Mikenbikez]

Run Royal purple oil through it for 500 miles then check valves and do it again it’ll make them valve train look new again, then go back to your original oil

[@hungry718]

The P2R guys are an awesome bunch. They used to race at my events at the old PBIR track in West Palm. Really cool to see them grow the way they have.

[@timothyforce1949]

This J30 would respond well to a BG Oil System Flush. It would cleanup nicely inside.

[@aaronfraser2347]

I use the wrinkle paint a lot. Best result it to heat it up with a heat gun, first coat light and the next 2 coats heavy. You’ll get a better result using a heat gun afterwards too

[@PowerRevRacing]

Great video. Can't wait to see when the turbo is mounted.

[@HalferLandPerformance]

Always love seeing another J-Series getting some love! Good luck with the build 🤙

[@keithparker7412]

I was hoping you would wrinkle paint the intake manifold as well, but after seeing it with the contrasting silver and black I think that was the right decision. this thing looks great!

[@bocajuniors55]

VHT has a deeper and better looking wrinkle if you let it dry in cooler temps (warm room). Higher oven temps will make the wrinkles "tighter" or smaller

[@zdkama]

Dang this is the first I am seeing of the J series content. Giving me a kick in the pants to get my misfire sorted. Keep it up!

[@thesicksix405]

You definitely got a new subscriber!! I have a 07 6-6 coupe that is sitting! Just got it back from replacing the engine! Threw cylinder 5’s spark plug twice! You should make sure you check your spark plugs often to make sure they are tight! There was an issue at the factory with some of that years accords being off a little when cut on cylinder 5! I have a 100k gently used replacement engine and ready to get it back on the road!

[@crankybear1236]

Appreciate the work. The j series does not get enough love. Honda needs to make a V6 with a timing chain.

[@longsleevethong1457]

Why? Factory belts last 175k+ miles

[@crankybear1236]

@longsleevethong1457 Belts should be changed every 100k miles at most. It has to do with Hondas using interference engines .

[@markpegler3277]

This has been by far my favourite build series . Not necessarily my favourite car even though I love Hondas . Keep it jdm cars, Simple but nice interior upgrades, custom exhaust , new brakes wheels , turbo and engine mods and a few bolt on exterior mods makes for the best most relatable build series . The numbers don’t lie 😊

[@TheCalvinSkinner]

When adjusting valve lash, it's common to find them tight because valves stretch and take up the lash.

[@ceescorner]

You should valveoline restore and protect oil for the next 2-3 oil changes and see how it does cleaning the varnish / sludge in the engine and pop the valve cover off to see

[@KeebaAfrica]

The title makes me think Honda Cr-z but honestly the J30 doesn't get enough attention and this was insightful to my own turbo project (yes it's a CR-Z)

[@WildWildWeasel]

The track you chose when you started taking down the power steering pump had me vibing hard haha. You have a really good music taste dude.

[@as1337x]

Your Honda Accord build inspires me. This is so cool...I can't wait for the next episode.

[@tylershrader962]

Eat the cat don’t eat the dog. Sweet mod. I looked up the super charger upgrade that looks like some more fun times for the 3.0 Honda. Your videos are so much better than most. Thanks a lot.

[@WillyBill64]

glad to finally see someone doing this and documenting it

[@farncoisbisson7737]

From swaping this engine in my s2000.. youl need stronger bottom end in the long term.. built one aside . But a standard accord 2 doors. That was the rare gem we were looking after. They make really good match to supercharger too.

[@farncoisbisson7737]

Should really gap the pistons rings too. How much boost are you planing on trowing at it? You can cerakote pistons and give yourself a little layer of "holly shit" protection too. But if you open the engine just built it with froged internals. They aren't that pricey.

[@longsleevethong1457]

it’s got tHeRmAL gAsKeTs so it can handle the power without gapping rings

[@ambedextrus4794]

Hey Gingium I've done powder coating at home and if I can do it I think you can too. I'd say the hardest part is the oven but you can just pick up a regular kitchen oven and set it up in the shop. I used a sandblasting cabinet to get my parts cleaned up and I think I saw you had one. Only things you would have problem powder coating is rims but if you really get into it I seen people make big ovens with kitchen oven elements and regular insulation stuff you'd find in a regular hardware store

[@isaacscott4427]

The before and after shots cannot be overstated. So good. So good

[@justlutherr777]

Ain't no way. Fam, I was just catching up with the last 2 accord videos, and here's another, God is good.

[@TheLifeStyle6]

The work accomplished in one video 💪🏽💪🏽 excited for this! Going to learn more about my turbo setup along the way!

[@Foozer1337]

Nice work as always!! Quick tip, get a carbide scraper and ditch the razor blade for removing old gasket material. Just recently started using one and its so much better.

[@joshwattonS2000]

Heat gun with VHT is the best way. The oven trick never works.

[@jimxiong04]

I vouch heat gun too!

[@chinafukr69kack31]

Yup and it comes out way nicer

[@Derstn]

Can confirm. Couple light tack coats with about 10 minutes to dry, and then a good flood coat and heat gun got me a great looking wrinkle black valve cover with none of the build up lines. Very uniform fingerprint style wrinkles too.

[@TheSubie1965]

Yeah, I always use a heat gun with great results

[@julianlightbody3831]

Gotta know what you're doing oven works 100%

[@dieseldiesel9292]

One of my dream cars since I was a yougin is a 2007 Acura TL Type-S with a turbo kit. Nice to see the J series getting some love.

[@HenryKaetzel]

If you have the hood clearance for it, you should look into getting the intake spacer off of a Honda odyssey with the J35, it makes the intake sound so good and the throttle response is a tad better!

[@dannyjr7997]

Looks like an awesome build. Excited to see this thing rip! Ready as well to see that SI hatch build.

[@omegapharaoh6978]

I love the Honda content 👌 father in law got a K20a2 swapped of the same Accord & i keep spamming him your build series 😂

[@timothyforce1949]

Red crinkle paint would've looked good for the intake manifold cover and the valve covers. The exterior Honda badges are red, so those little touches would make it pop.

[@zachdakidd317]

someone is finally building a J series on youtube 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 i thought that this day would never come

[@jomo399]

Great video. Appreciate the clear, steady video, great lighting and angles. Also, great job in editing, getting straight into the content. I am looking forward to the manifold fabrication and turbo pipe routing. What's your camera setup?

[@accordinglyryan]

Interesting to see how well that paint holds up. I tried to paint my J's manifold twice and it just wouldn't stick. Ended up giving up and having it powder coated. Then again I didn't sand it like you said lol

[@MarkIV_Garage]

u should punch the block out to 90mm and swap in a j37 crank and rods, it will make it a 3.7L which will give u that lowend before boost hits and make the turbo spool better too

[@longsleevethong1457]

Don’t need all that when you got ThErMaL gASkEtS….them gaskets give 200hp automatically

[@SrtRacerBoy]

Cool, I have a 3.0 Turbo also. Can't wait to see power and Dragy numbers.

[@No_Transitory]

I miss my 05 Accord, parts were super cheap and super easy to install. I currently own a 06 Acura TL 6MT with a J37 swap. I could have bought 2x 05 accords with the amount of money Ive spent on my TL. To even get the hondata flash flashpro to work I had to buy an 07 ECU, a boomslang adaptor harness, and a 06 TL Non-navi ecu & can adaptor. Thats why when i see people who have the 5 speed automatic wanting to upgrade their engines I always suggest to sell it and buy a 6MT.

[@mortalstream8975]

Please when washing your engine bay cover it with something. It could possibly damage your alternator and thats obviously not good. Just a tip ! Great video btw I love watching the progress
