I have an 04 v6 couple with AT. I really want to get more performance out of it, especially torque, but I'm not sure where to go next. I can't afford to drop 3k on a turbo right now, but i can afford a few hundred here and there. This weekend I'm having an Injen RD CAI with an AEM bybass installed, as well as a Borla cat back exhaust. I'm going to have it dynoed before and after, and i hope to get 15-20 hp & the same torque. We'll see... The shop i'm taking it too suggested that I ask for opinions on other upgrades. He said that an ECU mod would help, but he doesn't know of one that works very well for this year right now.

Can anyone make any suggestions as to how I can get more power? Any links to products, and reviews would be great.

Thanks for the input!

the biggest thing you should have done was gotten the 6spd

I went with the auto tranny because i had an alarm with remote start that was brand new. I bought it about a month before i got rid of my old car. No one will install remote start on a MT for obvious reasons. Being that I'm in south/central texas I had to make a decision between fun or comfort, and in this case comfort one out.

Now, that the "here's an answer that is completely useless to you" has been posted...

Can someone please give me some suggestions that can actually help?

If you plan on boosting it down the road, the intake and exhaust are pointless, unless you're talking a couple years.

i totally agree. I test drove one before i decided on my 5spd 4cyl. the only reason i didn't get it was because of the substantial price difference, but oh man.... the 6 spd v6 was fun to drive!

but anyways, as you probably have noticed, there aren't that many options for upgrading the 7th gen accords for now. alot of manufacturers are still in the R&D phase. looks like you're getting all the basic upgrades already.

be sure to post the b4 and after dyno's.
or at least after everything is installed.

You may see 12-15 or so ponies form those upgrades mostly from the Injen (what I have also) most 7th gen drivers gave seen minimal gains from cat-back installs, some have had custom j-pipes with true duals have seen decent numbers, as far as the ecu only UNIchip has any even close to being completed for the 7th gen v6 and they have been pushing the release date back for months now....there is just not that much support for the 7th gen v6.

Headers?

segen77

I'm not aware of any company out there that makes headers for my car. From what I've been told on the 3.0 v6 the headers are machined onto the actual head of the engine, so no one can actually come up with an aftermarket set unless you replace the whole head. I'm not real savvy on this subject, so I may be off on this, but this is what I was told.

By all means, please let me know if you come across any. I would also appreciate any URL's that you could include in your posts.

Oh, you have a v6. I dont think any turbos are made for v6s, you may have to go with a sc, but i guess you dont wanna spend that much.

segen77

yeah. i'm sure it's out of my price range, but if you have the url for a supercharger, i'd like to read up on it.

jkrig

no one I know of has developed a supercharger for the j30a4 yet....that I know of

All i know of is this:

Not much of a gain, and its very expensive.

and its also not for the 7th gen v6 which is what we have.......the j-pipe will essentially split the exhaust coming from each cylinder bank into two separate exhaust paths where as stock the exhaust leaves the cylinder banks joins before the second cat and splits again just before the rear axle.......

Yea, i knew you could sc 6th gens, but i wasnt sure on 7th.
