Hey guys I bought a 1988 Honda Accord Hatch Lxi (2.0l A20a3 motor 5-speed) for $1200!! So it's a 27 year old car and I couldn't just get a good price for it I had to squeeze some money (I took out a loan for $3000) and decided to fix up (sexify this car up) granted the owner of the car had already installed a brand new radiator (lifetime warranty), Alternator, Rear and front suspension (lower and upper, I looked at the springs and the name was ??"matrix"??, they put new headlights in it (the retractables still work motor and everything. The motor had a small "oil leak" (yay me) but the car was able (after sitting for 3-4 months) start up and run like a champ (231k miles on motor and tranny) and ran like a champ for about 55 miles back to my house. Then the real work began..I bought a $190 Weapon R air intake with Ram Air kit, $90 for a nice metal/leather steering wheel and istallation kit, $100 for an ebay kit that included all belts an aftermarket water pump, camshaft and crankshaft seals and a valve cover gasket repair kit, a new clutch (performance clutch, advanced auto part) new rear main seal, new wheels and tires $200 (15in wheels good sticky tires) I got a mechanic of mine to replace the rear main seal and clutch as well as install the steering wheel $340 I did the valve cover gasket myself EZPZ 30min job (1 1/2 hr job if you sand and paint your valve cover!) And installed the air intake myself, little fabrication needed but easy enough. I'm looking to make a good race/sleeper streer car I would like any tips on turbo setups what I should rebuild the engine and tranny with (I'm looking at a nice turbo kit for $900 can make 155hp at 8psi and 600hp at 26psi I would like to know what I should do to my stock(ish) engine to make it be able to.withstand a turbo for small and huge boost! and maybe some good ideas for coilovers and headers etc etc I'm also interested in body kits and a small wing
