Turbo's definitely the fastest way to power. Not sure how well your particular engine will take to one, but I don't recall reading bad things, so...

Intake won't do anything for you by itself. Combined with a new exhaust and piping you'll get a few more hp (literally), and more useability/response from the engine. But it won't be major actual gains.

You've got to do ECU work and/or cams and all that fun stuff, if you want to stay N/A and make any extra power. Besides that, it's nitrous oxide or forced induction.

sounds like a TOS violation to me: Street racing??

#1. Id get rid of the auto tranny and get a 5spd.
#2. its an accord not a race car. So if you wanna beat everyone you gotta get alighter car.

it's not really a violation until he states a specific place. i'm ASSUMING you mean track, right?

1. agreed

2. wOrd. the accord is a family car. if you wanted something to trash everyone in a straight line, by all means trade it in and get a Dodge SRT-4. with the amount of money and work you'll have to do to turbo the accord, this is cheaper. also, the SRT-4's are factory rated at 200hp, take it to a dyno straight from the dealer lot, you'll see that it's closer to 225.

if you wanted something that isn't at the dealer for major repairs 3 times a year, keep the accord. if you wanted peace of mind about the reliability of your car, keep the accord.

*please note ... i <3 honda, but if you're looking for speed and power, this is your best option.

Boost the f23 and youll make some nice power, but it was mentioned before the Accord is not a race car. You can make it quick but no matter how fast you are someone will always be faster than you.

The Accord is not a racer. If you're looking to make power, its gonna cost you $$. I'd turbo, get a nice exhaust, and ditch the slush box. You still won't be really fast, just faster. You could also build an H22 and swap it in. Oh, and as for your "friends" laughing at you...real friends wouldn't laugh.

Open up your "friends" gas tank and pour some sugar in there.
Lets see them laugh once their car breaks down trying to race you.
