turbo or supercharger
#4
I'm not sure the engine is all that reliable once it sees major boost.
Your best bet would be to seriously look into Nitrous for major gains, then the engine wouldn't be under stress 24/7, but this isn't for total noob either.
Else research the usual bolt-ons.

1. I dont think they make a supercharger for that engine
2. Its a very expensive project.
3. Want more power,...sell the accord.
ACCORD = FAMILY CAR! Not Race Car.

They (Jackson Racing) doesn't make a supercharger for the F-series of engines. I KNOW they make one for the J30A1 which bumps whp to about 220 with about an equal about of torque.
I dunno, with a tad more boost, I'd say the SRT-4 better watch out

if you go the turbo route on an accord your going to want to beef up the internals. I have a friend that has gone thru 3 engines since he boosted his accord.(notoriousB on honduh.com) luckly he can pick a used engine for around $400 and swap it himself. He is in the process of getting rods, pistons and all the internal stuff to handle the abuse that boost puts on an engine. if you want to have fun with the accord get the usually bolt-ons, and suspension. if you want power get a faster car cause to make the accord fast you have to spend some serious loot that could buy you something fast.
