Should i save up for turbo as my first mod for my 03' coupe ex manual?

 

I wish I wouldve done the turbo first. Screw all the nickel and diming on bolt ons

 

Yes, please do.
break in first please

 

Do you have the I4 or V6? If you have the v6 good luck with that, i doubt they will ever make a turbo for it since the exhaust manifold is integrated into the head.

:edit:
i'm not sure is the I4 also has the integrated manifold someone might want to verify that.

everything is possbile with enough money.

 

Will if its a manual its more likey to be a 4cyl....i dont thiink they made 6cyl manuals well in the US...but if you got the $$$$ do it

 

ops must have missed the manual part, either way the did make a manual for the 6 cylinder.

 

if you're gonna modify the car within the 1st year, why didn't you just buy the Acura CL Type-S or a Subaru WRX? you woulda spent the same amount of $$$ in the long run.

no Co. makes a turbo kit for the K24 I-4 let alone the J32 V6 motors, but CompTech says the S/C they have for the old V6 will be retrofitted.

 

What about VAFC? wonder if they'll work for that application?

 

well just because there isn't a company that makes a turbo kit for the K24 doesn't mean you can't custom make a turbo set up... whatever though, you might just want to leave the car alone at least until the break in period is done.

 

save your money and buy a house. turbo hondas= problems and money.

 

i guess i shouldn't turbo the, thx guys, and what do you mean by breakin it in?

 

my opinion, and this is not a flame, is that you should make the descicion for yourself, we can only offer info on what are experinces have been and what technical info we have on any product on the market we know about
other than that it is your responsibility to research your options and make the best choice for you and your car, by yourself

 

"i guess i shouldn't turbo the, thx guys, and what do you mean by breakin it in?"
I dont think you learn enuff about car...
prolly want to wait and learn about turbo and tunning before blowing some sh_t up..

Nope the existing VAFC does not work with the new i-vtec stuff. At least there web stie said not to use it with it because it could screw things up.

 

thats kinda what i thought.

 

Well if you know anything about the '03 Accords the v6's came in manual also...I know you may be thinking of the 98-02 6th gen that didn't come with mtx in a v6. But the 7th gen ('03) model does have the option of a v6 mtx. Just my 2 cents...

 

vafc wouldnt work with i-vtec and varible cross-over vtec i4 accord's
