i have a 01 accord ex. i have done a couple of mods to including a (a.e.m) intake, 2.5 inch exhaust and tip. now i wanna upgrade the cam, and i know if you swap out the intake manifold you can pick up some more power. i have also heard you can swap using parts from preludes and integras (i.e. the manifolds and the cams) can anyone tell me what would be compatible with my car? thanks i appreicate any feedback

 

there is a thread oin this forum about a guy using a H23 intake manifold and you can always take your own cam out and get it regrindeded to a paticualr aftermarket specifacation..but its in both cases alost of work...and I haven't heard of anybody using integra parts on an accord unless its in rebuilding a distributor

 

h23 IM requires a ton of work to use. not a bolt on part, but it can be done. I've never seena dyno of it on a f23 and I doubt it would be an improvement unless you had major mods.

 

so no cam work can be done?

 

cam work can be done but what are your goals for your car???

 

Cam regrind and IM swap is going to run you quite a pretty penny. By the time you do these mods you could have most of a turbo kit.

 

being as it is only a sohc, i dont really wanna drop that much money in it, or would i wanna spend the money to put a turbo in it. wouldnt make sense. so i guess the next thing would be what kinda engine swap could i do?

check in the Accord FAQ under the swaps section

 

if it was me? I'd boost the motor you have now...gonna be IMO funner in the long run and potentially cheaper then a H22 motor swap

 

+1 for the turbocharging of said motor
