so isn't that new honda turbo like two turbos in one?
Kind of like two turbos in that it will spool like a small turbo, but flow like a large one. Best of both worlds.

... and would it even fit on a 225?
Probably not.

From the picture I have, it doesn't look like it has a wastegate, so I am guessing that this valve is used to control boost level. But, I could be wrong as I am making an assumption. It appears that there is a canister like a factory style 2.2/2.5 wastegate would use, and I am assuming that it is for control of the valve.

If I am correct, then I would guess that valve is too small to control the boost on a 225. The Honda/Acura motor is only a 2.3 liter.

I pointed this out as it was a new idea for making a turbo setup that would reduce lag without sacrificing top end power. I don't think anything on the Honda motor will transfer other than the theory.

Don't think of this as "what parts can I swap", but instead as "how can I use that idea".

what is the best way to get "turbo air" into the engine? the standard air cleaner assemble obviously woln't do it... i heard turbo city had something, can't rember what.. :D
Are you running a blow-through or draw-through turbo?

With draw-through setups, you may use whatever air cleaner fits the carb.

Blow-through setups are a bit different.

For the air cleaner, you'll need something that easily hooks up to a tube. I simply took the bit of tubing off a Mopar 2.5 Turbo that runs from the air box to the turbo inlet, and used a bit of exhaust pipe to get a K&N cylindrical filter on the end of it. In some applications, you may have room to stick a cone filter right on the turbo inlet. Or you could adapt the airbox off a modern fuel injected car and run some piping from it to the turbo. I'd like to see an old fashioned carb-style air cleaner stuck on the inlet of a turbo, but that may take some creative fabrication.

Then you have to get air from the turbo to the carb. You can enclose the carburetor in a box or put a "turbo hat" on the carb (basically an adapter where air flows in horizontally from a hose and exits downward to the carb flange). If you want to make a cleap turbo hat, you could take the filter out of a snorkel-type air cleaner, seal any flaps to bring in hot air for warming up, and bring the air in through the snorkel. Or even add a snorkel to an air cleaner that didn't have one.
