Hi all, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately on what kind of car I want to get and I've pretty much have decided that i am going to get a 94-97 Accord 5 speed coupe (that is if I can find one). Anyways I've been discussing with my friends about what I should after once I get it. So far I've pretty much decided that I would like to do an H22A swap and probably do an N/A build. The reason I would do an N/A build is because I still live with my parents and my dad would **** a brick if I even mentioned that I wanted to boost. So pretty much my question is to you what would be the best engine to go with if H22 isn't and do you guys have any suggestions on what aftermarket products I should go with. Thanks in advance. P.S. I should mention that my goals arent to high pretty much what I'm going for is 190-200 whp.

 

Good choice. 190-200 whp is very possible with a cold air intake, header, an aftermarket exhaust (see member Kteller8 for best deals on these), and an APEXi VAFC tuned on a dyno. I would even be that you could get more WHP with that setup.

 

thanks for the reply so quickly stew, anyways would you then agree that H22 is probably the best solution, or perhaps a different engine?

 

190-200 whp

lol, your going to need more than just I/H/E

 

If the engine is 190BHP and you add a header intake and exhaust, then dyno tune it you will have 200WHP

Edit: Add a port and polish to that...

on average how much does it usually cost to do a Port and Polish?

 

way too much for the horse power it gain IMO
unless you get hook up..
