Default 2003 V6 6spd. Upgrades??

I just bought a 2003 V6 6spd. Accord and am ready to do some upgrading. Please help me out with some ideas to get more power out of this beast. I want a lot of power, amazing handling, and great looks. I'm will to spend what it takes to get this car where it needs to be, so suggest whatever is on your mind!!

Also, if anyone knows a good honda tuner in the philly region it would be greatly appreciated.

jackson racing? please, those things only run right if you've got a quality engine management system and right now there are none for the the ivtec v6

you cant get a set of headers for the ivtec v6, and you'll never be able to either, the exhaust manifolds are one piece with the cylinder heads

v6performance.net (oldaccordv6.com) :thumbsup:

injen intake and groundcontol coilovers are the few mods made solely for the 7th gen av6 as of yet, but im sure the comptech or stone racing headers fit and 6th gen exhausts should fit as well. they are vtec not i-vtec, both i4's and v6's. ( ivtec are dohc only)

Jackson Racing makes one for the V6 now? I heard that the comtech one isnt worth it. It costs around 4, 000 and you will still hit 14's.

its just plain vtec and still the j30

this is strange to me because Honda has said many times that every car will feature I-VTEC by 2005

The Civic will be redesigned by then, so will the Odysessy, as well as the Pilot, the CRV already has I-Vtec and so does the Si/CTR

The RSX has it, there will be a new NSX by then, and TSX has it and the TL and CL will be redesigned by then as well

That leaves the Accord which will be the only Honda without I-Vtec in its V6, unless when the CL and TL get their '05 redesign their I-Vtec V6 finds its way into the Accord

Damn there's a lot of misinformation on the internet. This thread is a perfect example.

Here's the facts:

I4 is i-VTEC. K24.

V6 is VTEC. J30.
