Just wondering, which honda accord is the best for I/ H / E ??

 

i'd say a 94-95 ex. what's the point of this question tho? how well a car responds to mods doesnt necessarily mean it's a better car.

 

none!!

 

the point of the question is ...... why do we mod our car if after all the money we spent wont do any good to the car performance.
I kinda newb to modding car, thats why I have all this funny question.
Thx for the answer

 

if you want the biggest drop in QM times...it'd be the 90-93

But i/h/e is a really cheasy route I've found after my projects.....think a bigger picture first...then work your way down the details.

wtf

 

From all the dyno charts I've seen over the years... OBD1 Accords (90-93, 94-95) gain roughly 3-5 hp for each mod, I/H/E... depending on brand/model, etc...

Don't know about OBDII...

4thGens are lighter than 5thGens...

 

just as I said...i/h/e is a very cheasy route. You can't do ish with it unless you put in nitrous. Even with a supercharger it's cheasy because unless you got a short ram intake that will still fit, you have to get another intake....and the exhaust is usually no longer suitable in size either...etc, etc

bolt-ons usually don't net too much power is all that I am saying....you have to have a plan of what you want to do first. If you plan on turbo charging your car, there is no use in wasting money on i/h/e.......if you plan on going all motor, no need wasting money on pre-made intakes and exhausts since you'll need to make custom ones to fit your needs - if you want to do it right.

I can testify to that. A few of you have seen me in here over the past few days posting newb questions about what I can do to boost up my performance a bit. Over the past few days I stuck on a short ram cold air intake and I had a better muffler welded on, but I seriously doubt that I netted more than 5 hp from the mods because I can't tell a darn bit of difference. If anything it seems that my lower end now suffers a bit, although my upper end *might* be doing better. I have yet to do anything with headers and I won't because I don't see it being worth the money. BTW, the car that I moded is a '02 accord, and just to go along with what others have said, it seems that newer generation accords don't show as much performance boost with i/h/e mods because Honda is making them more efficient now. Does that line of reasoning sound fit?

 

When is the cutoff for OBDIII? I know 96+ is OBDII...

I know that OBDII is where the mods really start to show less gains... and from what I've read and heard OBDIII gains are almost non-existant... and forget about messing with the uncrackable OBDIII ECU's...

 

OBDIII is not implemented yet.

 

That's why on my 96/97 EX-R (Canadian), before I do my swap I'm going to convert it to OBD I. No sense screwing around and wasting money for non existant gains.

Alas I still do have to actually buy the car.
