I have approxiamately $200 to spend on my 88 Lxi and I was wondering what I should do to increase performance. Now, I know I could put a cold air intake on it or something like that, but I was looking for something that would give a bit me a bit more horsepower. Any help would be great. Oh, and I'd be willing to pay more than $200 if it would mean signifigantly more power.
check this site out www.accordcentral.com maybe you can find something.trust me im in the same boat. i thinking of doing an engine swap.
You could get your camshaft reground. This would be around 10 to 15% increase in power.
You could get a 4 2 1 header
You could get a CAI
You could get a cat back exhaust and a nice flowing muffler and also gut the cat
u could get a cai and exhaust done.
hmm...... make your own CAI and save up a bit more for a good set of headers and a decent exhaust.
hmmm i think someone had this question a lil while back, but umm get something that you want how about that?, yeah i know its good advice
where can I get headers?
pacesetter makes them for us, but dont buy them from their website buy them from nopi.com its cheaper
you can try www.planetperformance.com they seem to be o.k. :dunno:Quote:

Heres where you can get a DC Sports Header. A little expensive, but an effective upgrade. Cant wait till i have enough money to get one... :( DC Sports Header
if you cant afford a $350 DC Sports header, get a catback exhaust installed and you'll notice a good increase in power. Then go on ebay and get yourself a $30 CAI for a 94-97 accord and you're good to go.
What other parts would be interchangeable from the new GENS of Accords? I have seen a shit load of parts for Accord 90+ but nothing for the 3rd GEN. I am looking to buy a CAI.Quote:

ok i was just wonderin someone said something bout putin a 94-97 accord CAI and well that fit on a 88 accord LXi ??
all u need to do is ditch all the stock intake piping, rocker cover breather filter, then by a pretty big cone filter a half descent one K&N or green filter with centre top intake a well, then buy some hosing and experiment with length, try short pipe, medium length, long length or even better make up a box tongo around filter then run a ram air scoop with piping directly into filter/housing.
S&S headers make good quality headers too and you can buy heat painted or ceramic coated.
this is prob a newbie ? but on the dc sports header does the o2 sens go on the tail end of the header? if so does the orig. wire reach?
