The aftermarket for the Accord and Prelude A series engine has died out. Below is a list of some previous backers.

GUDE: Head package, Header, Cam Grind
DC SPORTS: Stainless Cat-back, 4-2-1 Header
PAECO: Full Engine Build, Header
S&S: 4-1 Header
PACESETTER: 4-2-1 Header
HOTBITS: 4-2-1 Header
LIGHTSPEED: 4-2-1 Header
MOSSELMAN: Log Turbo Manifold
Most upgrades and modifications to the A-series engines are of the DIY variety, with one of the more popular being a turbo set-up. Because of their closed-deck iron block design, they're especially well-suited for handling boost. A VTEC version of the A-series engine was never produced, so swaps akin to an LS/VTEC or "mini-me" aren't doable because no VTEC head bolts to the A-series block. However there has been attempts to bolt DOHC heads to the A-Series which are not at all as easy as bolt and go, holes are not perfectly alligned nor does the cam and crank sprocket have the correct diameters.

And FYI, you're running either 110 or 120 hp stock, depending on which year it was produced. My advice: Either put a turbo on in, or cut your losses messing with the A series and go for a B series like everyone else does.

Also....Try making a clear title next time, and actually making a coherent question in the post. After all, this is a tech forum.

How much money do you have to mod this? That year is getting a lil on the older side now. Maybe you should think about getting a little newer one before you spend too much money modding when you should be making it more reliable.
