Cool dood. I got a 94. Is your's EX or LX? Coupe, Sedan, Wagon? If you've got an EX then you've already got a pretty nice engine. Although, if you really wanna spend some money you could drop an H22A (Dual overhead cam VTEC) in there. That's gonna run you a few grand, however. If you're looking for cheap stuff that's gonna give you a few extra HP, throw a cold air intake on there or something. Search Ebay, they're easy to find, and easy to install. If you're looking to make it look cooler, there's plenty of stuff on Ebay for that too. If you have an LX model, though, you definitely may wanna look into gettin' yourself a set of rims, cause no offense if any of you have them still, but the stock hubcaps on the LX models look like horrible shit.

Good luck man, and welcome.

An H22A is a 190HP engine. Your stock VTEC engine is 145. It is definitely a pretty nice gain. I'd say if you can afford it, it's definitely great, however, I wouldn't spend my life savings on it... It will run you a few grand. Personally, I'm fine with my stock VTEC on my 94 EX. Although, if I were rich I might consider throwing an H22A in there.... Or maybe eventually after a couple hundred thousand more miles, when I need a new engine I might do it. How many miles on your car?

Hm, good question. I actually don't know much about turbos, though. 87k is like nothing for that car though. With that engine you should be able to easily hit 300k.

the ls motor doesnt bolt up to the accord, and its also smaller than the H22 and meant for a smaller car. If you are going to swap, H22 is definitely the way to go. . .

H22 actually goes anywhere from 190 to 220 horsepower in various forms. It's a great platform for further modification...very strong with lots of torque.

Congrats on your car!
