We just bought a new car and now I am driving my wifes former car, a 2003 accord lx with the 2.4 liter i-vtec. I am fairly new to the import world so I have lots of questions. I already put a AEM pipe and intake on and have put on some good looking rims. I would like to do as much as I can without playing with internals, going turbo, or doing a swap. What size injectors could I move up to? Sould I get an AEM ignition, pulleys, headers, cat.. Still not completely sure what i-vtec means, should I get a v-tec controller ? Pretty much interested in all of the above.. Oh.. might want to throw in a shot of NOS, good or bad idea.... Thanks for the help... T>A

 

whoa buddy. find somone who does hondata and ask them about a k-pro reflash and then go from there.

 

Hondata does not reflash ECUs for Accords.

If you're not going to boost the car, there is absolutely NO reason to put in larger injectors. Ignition upgrades do nothing but lighten your wallet. Pulleys and a high flow cat will be the same waste. You'll get minimal power gains from i/h/e. Go that route if you want do something to the car and keep it relatively driveable and stock-like. Stay away from nitrous unless you plan to get some sort of fuel management.

 

so your tellin me that unless I go forced induction that its hopeless to add any horsepower...??? thats nuts..

 

correct. i/h/e gains are minimal at best.

 

What kinda engine/fuel management computer would be best for running nos, and what other components would I need... Nothing to crazy, just a 25 or 50 shot--possibly two stage... let me knows whatcha think.... thanks guys...I also want to get a set of lowering springs, just a minimal drop to get rid of wheelwell gap..any suggestions on brand and do i need a camber kit....

 

If you are wanting to keep your car streetable and you are wanting do do nos I wouldnt go with anything bigger than a 50 shot single stage dry shot. As long as you don't shoot it all day long you wont have any problems. But, if you are wanting to boost your car than a t3/t4 hybrid is that way to go in my opinion.
