I know one of the goals of this board is to give our little cars more h.p. and torque. well i was thinking about a few things and i was wondering if there was a upgraded tranny for our cars or would the ludes one work with our cars, and also the e.c.u or would the ludes work since they have the 2.0 also i think and they are a more performance version of our cars .. and also is there any kind of perfomance drivetrain ( meaning rearend in the rear wheeled cars so not sure what they are called in a honda since they are front wheeled drive ) something with shorter gearing . i am not trying to have the most h.p. on here or anywhere really i want a car that the torque is as close to the h.p. as possible so i might not have as much h.p as the next guy but i will get up to speed a hell of alot quicker than him . so i was just going to do all the regular upgrades to the engine like the cam, ignition , header, muffler, and maybe cam gears and anything else if you guys have any ideas that would be great . since i only race stop light to stop light. but any help would be great thanks ....

I know DXHATCHBACK has a tranny swap can't remember if it was from an integra or prelude. Do a search b/c there's a lot out there now.... Sean's turbo and ecu upgrade. Lots of Intake ideas. Cold air intakes and Ram air intakes. Exhaust is one of the easiest upgrades for our cars b/c you can find the stuff on any major parts website.

With the lude trannys they all work but with the carded ones you have to put the accord differental in so the axles will fit.
For power the accord makes more tq then hp. The 86-97Lx-i had 110hp and 114tq.
