I have a 97 accord lx non vtec 5sp. 64k miles on the car. I have 130hp and I want a bit more kick. (not really interested in NOS) I was reading about the turbo setup, something like a small turbo t2.8 (eclipse maybe) with piping and intercooler. I’m hopping for about 30-35 hp to the wheels. But I need to know first if this is possible and second what I need and how much is everything going to cost me. I always take care of my car and all the maintenance are done. I do 16.2 1/4 now. I m hoping I can shave the 0.2 sec off my time. Also help my 0-60. That’s why I was thinking of a small turbo pulse I have $3500 to spend.

Am some what of a newb so be patient with my stupid questions.

 

for 3500 id suggest maybe getting a new vtec engine to be dropped in, instead of paying a whole bunch for a turbo which in the long run will decrease ur engine life regardless of how much u take care of it, 30-35 hp is easily obtained with a turbo, but probably easier with other after market parts or a different engine, good luck buddy

 

you will get alot more than 35 hp with a decent turbo setup.

 

16.2 with a 97 non-vtec accord? rofl BS! show me a timeslip and not no gay g-tech bull. so your saying the 94 ex's with VTEC stock can maybe hit low 17's and your saying with 20 less hp and heavier you can run more than a second faster? rofl... i need proof.

 

depend where you live to bud, in colorado they run 18's+

 

thats why i said maybe low 17's
