hey,

Im wondering if there are ways to increase horsepower to my stock 92 accord's engine without spending tons of money on turbos and intakes. Or is there nothing a can do without spending wads of cash.?

NO!!! bad noobie bad!!!

as for increasing power, w/ the stock engine you won't find much power with anything except a swap or FI, doing every bolt on possible plus some will cost you more and get you less than if you went with an h22 or FI, best thing to do is just go with a wet nitrous kit, for $500ish you'll get 50-75hp depending on what shot u do, but read up A LOT here before you make your decision

 

Best bang for cheap would be nitrous. Only problem is it could really be a BANG if it isn't tuned and set up properly. If you just want a little more on the butt dyno do intake, headers, and exhaust. But this stuff won't do too much on this engine. The real power is all in boost.

 

If you have a '92 EX, you have an f22a6. It puts about 119 to the ground if you got a manual. Do you? If you do, and you add CAI, header, hi flow cat, cat-back (about $1,100 in parts there) I think you could add 15 hp to the ground. Bringing it up to 134 to the ground, which is not bad for a 2900 lb. car. I know many people would say you need a swap or turbo, but that is serious green.

 

I have a 1991 Accord EX 4 door automatic sedan.
Regarding this topic do you guys( "the Experts") think this guys web site/service can do anything for my ECU & Car? ...or just cause future problems?

p.s. I emailed him a question about a TCM & he was very nice to respond to me
Thank you
