2000 4-cly EX. Q's. (ex. misfire, and turbo)
I Have a 2000 Honda Accord EX With an automatic tranny , It has about 150k on it. I'm kinda new to the tuner world but am really interested.
1. first we'll go with my current problem, I have a large sound system in my car (two 13" W6v2's, with 2 500/1's and a 300/2 for amps. I have an extra battery and a 5 farad cap) and after i turn it up my car starts to shake when it hits about 3200 rpms. If i let go of the gas it will shift and go until next gear when it does it again, unless i stay under 3200. my light has come on and says missfire. I took it to the dealer ship and gave it a tune-up. the only thing left to change would be the distributor computer.
I was wondering what would be most likely, A bad tranny, A distributor computer, or an EGR port being blocked.
2. I want to get a turbo kit for my car but Don't know if it can handle the added power. Any suggestions? And if I got a turbo what else would I need? (like what kind of gauges and ecu) And would I have to Rebuild my engine? and what kind of turbo is the best for my car?

Re: 2000 4-cly EX. Q's. (piropal)
If your engine is misfiring, the last thing you should be worried about is putting a turbo in. Take care of your engine problem first, then go from there.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by piropal »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> And if I got a turbo what else would I need?

Also a turbo timer and boost controller are good to have. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by piropal »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">And would I have to Rebuild my engine?</TD></TR></TABLE> 150k on it? You may have to replace/upgrade some things.(Depending on how much power your looking for) Pistons,rods,rings,retainers,etc... Also make sure to do a leak/compression test first.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by piropal »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> and what kind of turbo is the best for my car?</TD></TR></TABLE> Depends on your budget and your horsepower goals.
