Ok tell me what you guyz think
I have a 97 Honda Accord LX.
-The only mod i have right now is an Injen Short Ram Intake with K&N filter. ($170) -My next upgrade will be DC Sport Ceremic Coated Header. ($350) -Then i will get the Nology Spark Plug Wires. ($150) -Then come the AEM TruPower Pulley Kit. ($150) -Next is the AEM Adjustable Cam Gear. ($150) -I will then add a Modified Distributor Cap Kit. ($80) -After that I will get Tenzo R Type 2 Rear Section Exhaust. ($250) -And i will finish up with a Venom 400 Control Module. ($300) So guyz..am i doing the right thing? Anything I should fix? |
The plug wires will do you next to zero good.
The cam gear will only do anything if you have an aftermarket cam, especially in a SOHC engine. External cap only helps with an aftermarket ignition. A rear section or axle back exhaust will only make you sound loud- get the whole enchilada. With the mods your looking at, the Venom unit (or any ECU piggyback or reprogramming) would be useless. For the $1500 you're looking at spending, you're either at: A. Halfway to a turbo B. Cam and cam gear, which will give you much more performance |

C: &7-800 short of a h22 swap. and if you decide to swap only the venom module might fit |
the intake would too. but bang for buck.. h22 it. expecialy if your looking to spend 1500.

how much should i be looking to spend on a 99+ h22 swap for an accord? a local pro shop told me i shouldn't even dream of doing it for less than $4K. is this b.s. or what?
that's just for the engine, wiring, etc. - they said install would be a few thousand more. |
oook..well then..i have 3 choices:
1. Get Turbo or supercharger..if i go with this choice..what do i need to buy and where could i buy it from..and how much does it cost for everything? 2. H22 Swap..if i go with this choice..where could i get the h22 engine..who is going to install it...and how much does it cost for everything? |
Have you thought of doing the swap yourself and save majpr $$$$. There are plenty of places on the web you can get an engine swap: Sohfast.com, hondamotorsonline.com, and importautosalvage.com are some of the better ones or you could go to a local junk yard and try to find one.

Umm... a few thousand for install? Better shop around :pukey |
Man if i had an Accord I'd put a prelude type-s engine in. It costs a grip though like 4k$ just for the parts and thats likes a mid 90's engine year.

2. Headers = minimal gains 3. Pulleys are a waste if your car is a daily driver 4. Adjustable cam gear can wait (til you get more mods) 4. You need an aftermarket ignition to use the cap (MSD) 5. Full cat-back is recommended for the extra .5-1hp gain ;) 6. Good choice for automatics Honestly if you can hold off & can afford it, get an H22 swap. You'll thank yourself later. Or turbo it. ;) |
