Default 2002 ACCORD 4cyl POWER

Ey guys, i got a an 02 Lx Accord ans i was just wondering is there any real effective way to add more power? I already have an AEM CAI, DC Headers, Evo Exhaust, AEM pulleys and hyperground... I dont know what the current power is dyno'ed right now, but is there any way to add more power without doing crazy stuff like engine swaps, turbo/super charging or nitrous?? LMK, im really stumped, i know its a heavy car w/ 17's, but man, i could use some more horses.

Buy a V6...or put on nitrous/turbo/supercharge/engine swap...but if you dont want to do that...then the simple answer is no

Yeah, i know thats probably the fastest way to get power, but i got a warranty on my car still and dont want to do anything that i cant undo easily. Is the F23 engine just basicly like the worst VTECH engine that honda makes then??? If so why? Someone told me that all you need to do is tune it....

Well you gotta realize it's not a hot rod. It's pretty much meant for reliable transportation, so you gotta be realistic with your expectations. Turbo would be your best option for reliable power. Nitrous can you give a quick boost in power as well.

Who cares about warranty. If u have the standard 36k than nothing is allowed to brake in ur engine at that time. I doubt a turbo will void warranty on other parts of the car. Correct me if I'm wrong. The Honda warranty is worthless anyways. The cars run forever and they give u a 36k warranty. If my engine f'ed up in a honda within 36k it would probably be my fault and not under warranty.

if u want something reliable with good gains, u could get a FMAX or Drag 4Gen kit. but the main thing with turbos is fuel management and timing. you're going to NEED hondata and get it tuned. if u want to cheapen on fuel management and timing u could get a apexi vafc and a msd btm.
