Default 97 lx accord, mod it?

Hi guys, i'm new to this forum and have a 97 Accord Lx. I want to mod the car, oh btw its a coupe and atx tranny. I was kinda thinking about putting a turbo or making it a twin turbo set up. I'm not very familar w/how much vendors there are for the accord. Also any ideas would help too. Thanks.

twin turbo isn't very practical for a street setup...i suppose if you did it right it would have the potential to be, with a tiny turbo for initial boost and then a larger one for high end boost...but that would just be expensive...

the accord has quite a bit of aftermarket support, but unfortunately you will have to wade through the rice in order to get to it...there are all kinds of different turbo kits available as well.

your auto tranny is your weak point though, as this will probably be the first to go with higher power...perhaps you should look into either an auto->manual conversion, or look into getting a 5 speed...

Twin turbo? You dont have a 6 or an 8 cyl, so it'll be quite useless to you, custom piece a percision or garrett turbo setup, and do an auto to manual swap. drop it using tein's, and i'm sure you'll love your car
