Default New to the board and gotta question.

Hey,

I'm buying myself a 2000 or 2001 or 2002 accord on my birthday which is coming up soon. I want to do strictly performance, the extent of body work would be like rims and a paint job. Body kit if i had 2000 bucks laying around. Anyway, I have done some reasearch and I know accords come in 4cyl and V6... so what is best for engine type? V6 with supercharger or turbo... or 4cyl with supercharger or turbo? I plan on doing some serious under-the-hood stuff but I have to know which of these will get me the most speed. I know comptech (www.comptechusa.com) sells supercharger kits for V6s... is that a good one to go with? What will get me the most speed without any other mods? Of course i will be doing other mods under the hood, i just wanna know about the supercharger/turbo, 4cyl/V6 scenario. Sorry if this sounds rambled... I'm a bit tired. Thanks.

I have a 99 v6 auto (of course) people always talk about how the tranny is poop and is locking up on peope and throwing the car into second gear while driving on the highway.
I have no problems wit mine, but if you want this car for performance you will use your third gear alot. I think you should get the 5 spd https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1006356
read this it will help you. good luck man

thanks for the info....IF ONLY I COULD AFFORD A 2004 V6 MANUAL! owell... with that note i guess im narrowing down to a 4 cyl 5speed... i definately like the idea of havning manual. so what are some good turbos for 4cyl? Im basically working on a 5000$ limit because by the time i have bought my car thats how much i will have left until my paychecks keep comin in.... (thank GOD my parents are gonna pay my insurance) im lookin to do serious performance mods... i mean like im not looking for 1/4 mile times of 15s adn 14s... im lookin for like low 13s and high 12s... if possible in any way low 12s high 11s... can i do this on 5000 bucks? so anyway... what is a good turbo? what do some of you guys have and how do you like it??
