Some really thick pliers or anything metal that will squeeze it together. OK so i said i'd help u out if u post, i admire that u care enough about your car do to that so ill help u. So u gotta figure out how much money ur gonna spend on your car. Easiest thing to do with an accord is to turbo it. If you dont wanna swap the engine just turbo and tune it. Research and research about it. Other ppl will chime in as well this web site is REALLY good about answering your questions. Welcome to HT. If you love your car, this site will become your obessision guaranteed.

There is no need for an engine swap, a lot of people will do them and enjoy them, but its a lot of money. decide what exactly it is you want to do with this car, and how long you plan on keeping it before you decide to take on any projects. also, how did this turn into an engine swap, i thought you had a question about a bolt

I believe there's a thing called research.

Do it

If any of you did your research like Muffin said, you'd realize that if you piece together your own kit, not only will it better suit your setup, but you can do it for well under a grand

screw all of that turbo kit crap. you wont even need half the parts those pos kits come with if you know what you are doing. a lot of those kits rely on a fmu and a returnless fuel system....not something you want. if you want to turbo the car really do some research and buy the book "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. its a good read. you can build a really nice turbo kit for less than 3k by pieceing the kit together yourself.
