Narcotix Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 If I were you I would lose the mufflers and install headers and a full exhaust system. This would give you a better sound and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcotix Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Also, if you have a four cylinder, there is not much you can do except turbo charging it. Intakes and exhausts do not add power to four cylinder engines. They make a small difference in six cylinder engines. So if you are looking for some real power, turbo charge it. But don't be cheap about it and make sure you go to a place that knows what they are doing. Good luck. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accord94newbie Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 i thought about a turbo but someone said to engine swap to a h22, but thing is mine is automatic. if i do stay with my f22 what would be the best place to shop for a turbo? i bought one from ebay for my nrt but that shit just sucked, going cheap never again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcotix Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Ye automatics are pointless to turbocharge. I had an automatic accord and I installed a couple of thousand dollars worth of mods and I barely felt any difference in the performance. Now I have stick accord with a six cylinder vtec and I honestly think it does not need any mods. All i did was install a K&N filter. I am planning on turbocharging it. One mod that I liked though, was a performance chip. Since I used to have a cold air intake, the performance chip let more air into the engine and it gave me a nice acceleration the mid RPM range. In regards to turbos I really don't know where to buy a good one. You are going to need to do some research and ask around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 For the record, your "performance chip" had absolutely nothing to do with the amount of air entering your engine. Nor did it have anything to do with the amount of HP your engine produced. Performance chips for Honda's are like paying for a handjob. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy because you got something pretty to talk about to you friends but really you could have done just was well with the hand you already had and saved $50.

Accord94newbie Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 found this engine and comes with stick transmission, but the whole process of switching from auto to manuel is going to be a bitch, plus its already 3300 for the engine and tranny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcotix Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Damn that looks nice. And ye tranny swaps are expensive. I learned from personal experience that trying to gain power from an automatic is really hard and expensive. The automatic transmission does not catch up with the engine that's the problem. That's why I bought myself a 07 accord six cylinder with a manual transmission. All I did to it so far was put a K&N filter. This car has more torque and power than my old accord that I spend 2000 on mods. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if ur gonna swap the tranny and motor, you're probably better off putting that money to the next car. That's what I would do. But good luck to you and your car.

Accord94newbie Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 now if i decide to keep my automatic accord, what is the best engine to put in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZXTInerTia Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I've put a DNA racing adjustable cam pulley, AEM short ram intake, Megan headers, custom pipe, and a GReddy RS muffler in my 94' EX 2dr 2.2L and I've seen slight performance gains and slight mileage gains. Really not much to do without a manual tranny. Which will most likely be next on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
