What I need to know is
1. Where do I find the engine model? (most likely a f22, but who knows)
2. If I post some pics, will you help me finger out what the hell I've got?
3. Will I get some suggestions on what I need to do to improve the car? (like body kit, turbo, shaving, etc.).
I'm new to Hondas, but I've been turning a wrench for a while, so let me have it! I'm stoked about getting this beast in top shape. I beat a Neon tuner yesterday, and he's told all of his mall friends about the old guy who spanked him (I'm 33), so I gotta get faster soon!
Just wanted to welcome another old guy to the board
I am 32 soon to be 33 this year and run an Accord as well...it hits 13.965 @ 96.61mph

Anyways an H swap is a nice swap and pretty common and easy and you will notice an improvement all around. With some internal work (screw turbos and Nos) you can definitley turn out a respectable time with them. I figure a high 14 is definitley respectable for 5th gen Accords, anything faster than say 14.6 is a fast 5th gen and if people know what they are looking at then they will know the odds you are against.
