i just got a 2001 accord with a 2.3 vtec that is all stock and im looking to get some horsepower gains im not looking to do anything to the bottom end right now.. and iv been looking at some cold air intakes but there are so many i don't know with one i should get... also iv been thinking about getting some new injectors so any input would be appreciated.....o and im only looking to spend $300

 

Generic ebay pipe with k&n cone filter. Injectors wont' do anything on a stock motor. Save your money for a turbo kit and bypass the bolt ons if you really want real power

 

like he ^^^^ said get one of those $20 ebay short ram intakes and buy a k&n cone filter to put on it. he is also right about the injectors...they wont help you unless you want to build the engine and get it tuned (tuning costs mad bank). as for a $300 budget...there isnt much else to do with that. a good cat back will cost you more than that. you could probably pick up some ebay dc sports replica headers tho.

 

i was looking at short ram and cold air intakes i need to know how much of a difference a cold air makes over a short ram

 

I wouldn't think it would make a huge difference but if its not to steep of a price for going from short to cold.. Why not?
Get your self some DC headers with that and you'll be happy.
Maybe even invest in a wider throttle body.

Honestly though I'd have to say save up and boost it.

 

yeah thanks iv been looking at some turbos and im thinking of saving for that...but i was wondering if it would be worth buying a used setup and having the turbo rebuilt what do you guy's think?...


thanks for all the input

 

i was saying short ram over cai only because you wont have to worry about water damage. as far as benefits, they both have pros and cons. you can also do what i did and use the stock intake box to make a custom cai

for turbo, it is somewhat easy to rebuild a turbo if you have some mechanical knowledge. but look for a turbo with no shaft play and one that does not burn oil to save yourself the trouble.
