ok my car is a 91 accord ex 5 speed. with 210k roughly. i bout a off brand intake from ebay for like 30$ im planning on getting a replacement filter cuz its a small off brand p.o.s. . jw on if i should do any major things like get a new header??catback??wires??or will it be a waste cuz if i do all this then the car takes a ****.from what i know the previous owner put alot of highway miles on it so ne input just let me know.

 

well first , decide what u wanna do to it, like maybe turbo or na. but if gonna do build up the eninge , i would replace it get one with lower amounts of miles then Turbo

 

how much for a new engine like what are some options

 

figure out what your options are by reading some posts dude.....honestly, just use the search feature, and just read as many technical threads as you can. you'll figure it out

 

There are a lot of posts on here that tell you what you can do to your motor or your other options. Personally i wouldnt mod a 210K mile engine unless i do a major rebuild. Your pretty much better off gettin a same motor but lower mileage or get an H series motor. But you gotta know what you want to do to your car. Its your car and diff people have diff preferences.

Blah, with that milleage, the motor is still in it's youth...just general maintenance should be carried out first however...make sure all the gaskets have been maintained properly, clutch is in good working order, etc...after that, do a search in the accord forum archives for the dsm turbo setup for your car...relatively inexpensive turbo setup yielding nice gains...good luck...

 

Honestly...make up your own mind. No one can tell you what to do or how your money situation is and also your mechanical knowledge...you need to decide for yourself IMO.
