All your maintenance up to date? That should be the first priority.

Look around at pictures of other Accords for appearance ideas. There are too many to just "suggest."

You could swap engines... but if yours is in good shape why read up on doing a minor turbo build? Would be in the same budget range and most likely make more power.

well it burns a quart every 1000 and has a knock in it and i did read up on the turbo idea and it would only take my motor "f22b1 v-tec" at 145hp to 210hp at 8 psi. the f20b jdm blue top puts out 200hp stock

and what all do i have to do to lower it? and keep the wheels with no camber?

Sorry to hear about the motor.

FYI, that 210 is wheel horsepower, which is different than crank horsepower (which is what the F20b is being rated at). The crank hp on that turbo setup is closer to 240-250 (give or take variables). And you could make more fairly easily.

The JDM F20B is a rare and unique swap but however there's not that much modification to support it compared to a an H-Series. BTW, it uses B-Series valves cause it's smaller compared to an H22 valve. It also revs higher but lack some torque. There's a guy right now that took out his F20B for an H23A VTEC due to lack of support of the F20B, so now he's going with a different route.

You can do a JDM H22A since there's more aftermarket support for that platform. Just like Bwill said, 200hp is not to the wheel; it's rated at 200hp to the crank. So in reality, it might be around 160-170whp depending on it's condition. Mine put out 200whp/156wtq to the wheel on a dynojet with a built head and stock block.

Just make sure to get a M2A4 or M2B4 LSD trans for the H22 if you want the full potential.

Solar Wings? Pics?

Solar wing? Are you referring to a rear window visor or a type of trunk lid spoiler?
