GET A CIVIC.. That's the cheapest solution or Buy a weber.

:huh: a CIVIC? :rant: :sigh: i just wont go there.

you want power for your carbed accord. theres this really cool thing called SEARCH that will give you all kinds of ideas as to how you can make more power........

where in oregon are you from?

thanks but i really want to stay away from carbs i was kinda thinking about a v-tec or accord efi swap, some guys told me that i could switch to dual weber carbs and get a shit load of ponies but carbs suck. and my car is an auto and i want to switch that out to

haha, buy a new car dude or accept that the one you have has very very little aftermarket support and the only "quick/easy" engine swaps are just putting an engine that already came in other accords (the EFI A20 or the carbed JDM B20 that makes 160hp or something). if you want anything else it will prob cost more then what you paid for the car itself unless you do alot of the work yourself or have someone you know do it cheap. on, on the tranny issue, there are several options availible if you just search.

man, you just dont get it. I"m not trying to be rude or anything, but there is a LOT of information on here on whats available for performance upgrades for all ranges of affordablilty. All available thru search

1) dual carb on a20a motor
2) dual carb on JDM b20 motor
3) EFI swap
4) turbo with seans ECM (no need to convert to EFI)
5) b series swap (have to convert to EFI plus get motor mounts etc)

there are a couple ideas to search for. Thats about in order price wise.

I hear ya. This guy has started several threads being an ass acting like he's better than everyone else.

You're not gonna get any special treatment here, buddy. Your attitude is what will get you no respect and help at all. Keep up your "I'm so great" attitude and you'll get nothing from anyone.
