I currently have a 2005 accord ex mt and I also have a 2006 civic ex AT. I cannot decide if I should turbo the accord, or upgrade to a civic si sedan. any suggestions on what will be more cost effective for power? or other simple mods to get the accord to handle a little more like the civic si sedan..?

 

Turbo the accord, an SI would have nothing on that. That is.. if you're looking for raw power.

I used to own an 05 MT Accord coupe.. and from the numerous test drives I've taken in the SI, it's a lot more fun to drive, at the cost of some power.

 

sell accord ex & civic ex and get civic si sedan, boost it
and pick up an old accord for a grand or so if u need a beater.

 

what about an a2 head swap onto the accord and then maybe boost on that motor in a year or two? I dont know how much more it would cost to turbo the accord with the different head on it, would i be able to kpro it?

 

moved to accord forum.

 

i put one in each forum because i wanted both sides of the biased replies...

 

turbo the accord. dont buy civic si sedan. i dont like 4dr cars.

 

the accord is a sedan... sorry I failed to point that out

 

Everyone is saying turbo the accord, etc. No company has made a kit for the k24s yet, nor is their anything besides a full standalone one could use for any type of fuel managment. These ECUs have not been cracked yet. Hondata, crome, uberdata are not compatible thus far....

aww both are sedans.. sigh.. what happened to coupe?? gahh.. lol. i say choose anything you like.

 

stock Si sedan is very nice, i drove the coupe before and it's a good package for 20k.

i would go with the Si

 

There IS a kit out for the k24 accords, and its by RacingTechnologyCo and they posted up its dyno results on HT. It cost 4k. However, the tuning platform is crap, using Greddy E-Manage which is far inferior to kpro. Although Hondata and all the other tuning companies have not cracked the ECU, a guy on here (cstyleaccord) has made a custom harness that works using a 02-04 RSX PRB ECU as a piggyback. So, there are options, you could also build yourself a kit, because any k-series manifold will work on the k24, such as civic si, rsx-s, etc.

Hope this helps

 

the civic ex i have at the moment is a coupe, atomic blue, and looks spectacular. but if I were to 'do it again' four doors would probably be the smarter path.
