5 easy steps to more power:

1. take all that off
2. sell it
3. throw a turbo on there
4. tune it
5. enjoy

Methanol injection in an F22? :rofl: :lmao:

Did you SERIOUSLY expect iridium spark plugs and "iridium wires" to get you more horsepower?

You gained maybe 8 or 10 horsepower total.

I think you need to face reality: You have a 1995 Honda Accord. Plain and simple. It's slow and doesn't respond well to bolt on mods. You have 3 options:

1) Better engine - H22/3 is ideal, but if you've actually been in a quick or fast car you'll still think your car is slow. However, it has MUCH better potential than your F22. If you can put it in yourself, you can find a good one for maybe $1500 or $2k.
2) turbo - $3k+ to do it right and reliabily (internals too), if you can do it yourself. 3k is on the very cheap side.
3) Save up for a nicer car - this is my suggestion 90% of the time unless you're serious about throwing thousands of dollars into something that will never give you any return value.

You are absolutely right.It takes too much time,effort,and money to make an Accord into a legitimately fast car.Go out and get an STI and be done with it.

The better question to ask is, what can i do to make my commute to the grocery store faster!

nitrous: 300-500 bolt on 75HP in under 4 hours.

check out 6thgenaccord.com
lots of people there are running nitrous on 98-02 i4 Accords.
a few have built turbo F23 engines.

Nitrous is probably the stupidest way to modify your car. Who the hell wants temporary power

Honda's don't do well with bolt ons. Try the same methodology with a turbo'ed vehicle though ...


Also, show me a stock Honda engine that can handle a 75 shot of nitrous.

Depends on what the definition of 'handle' is. All I will say is that most internals have an engineering safety factor of around 1.10, and a 75 shot of nitrous will raise PCP by 20-25% conservatively. It's a gamble to be sure.
