ok, now i know a lot of people on this site leave there cars stock, but a lot dont and i wanna know, how many of your non stock accords used to be LX's

i wanna know mainly about the H-22, can you start with LX's or does everone use EX's?

BTW, i have a 97 LX, stock

thx in advance,
Brian

 

I have a H22 in my LX accord.

Let me ask you...would power windows/locks, cruise control, sun roof, leather seats, rear disc brakes and climate control have any restrictions/advantages on engine swap or boosting?

What an irrelevant questions, and there are many drivers on HT that does not drive in "stock" cars. Read around.

 

i meant, is it easyer to H-22, or even hop up, a car that comes with vtec out of the box.

 

if your car has more then 120k then I wouldn't boost, either way your looking at 1500+

 

boost it.. you'll love it..but if you want reliable h22

 

wethere or not the car had a vtec engine before hand means nothing in terms of swapping in a Vtec motor....people that are really smart get 4 wheel disk LX's w/o power ****/moonroof, and then throw in an H.....EX's weigh alot more than LX's....

 

LX's dont have four wheel disc brakes, gotta get them off a EX

 

4 wheel discs are overrated unless maybe you autox like a bastard. stock lx brakes on a stock lx turbo here.

really???....i thought ABS was an option on the LX's, and that meant also getting 4 wheel disk.....but im probably wrong....

yea, disks are a bit overated, but there hella cooler that drums

Isn't that an oxymoron, if it's turbo, it sure ain't stock.

Give me 4 drum brakes, and a carb. (jk.)

& maybe wooden spokes.

 

nope fast accord, now thats an oxymoron. but stock lx turbo, naw it is stock, save for the turbo, ecu and injectors.

my car has 180k on it, but it was driven by a old man and he bought it brand new. The engine runs perfect, should I turbo it or get a 30-40k jdm h22a with lsd?

 

LX =no ABS/no 4 wheel disc
EX=ABS/4 wheel disc
I have both and under extreme breaking conditions it does make a big difference. Also if you start with the LX you will have to do a little more wiring than you would with an EX but not much.

 

my LX is stock and has ABS with 4 wheel disc. I dont like to correct people but you can have that on your LX

 

who cares, most dont

 

I have been corrected. It must have came as an additional option.
