What should I do

I just receintly got a 2000 Accord Sedan V6 its nice its got enough stock power to get me up to speed I have about 2k I wanna put into anything really Its all stock I just wanna it to be able to compete with some of the guys here in town any ideas?
Please send me something through AIM or something

well if you ask me there's a few things you can do. headers,cat back,get your car chipped, hell even a turbo. i would go with a turbo it would really give you alot of hp. then go with getting your car chipped and then headers if you have enough cash left.

Well, if he turbo'd the car... it'd have a turbo manifold. So Headers would be a moot point. :icon16:

2k is enough to get turbo?

I dont know much about what you have to have on an import if you put forced induction since im into muscle cars, but dont you have to have bigger fuel injectors and a bigger fuel pump?. And like redneck said the headers for the turbo.

i dont think they have any turbo kits for a v6 accord, do they??
I thought they were only for the 4 clylinder accord.

Try the basic bolt-ons. Like redneck said....if u have a turbo...get a turbo manifold.

Im not sure, but if that is true thats just retarded.

I found one but its gets around 300+hp with 30psi its made for a V6 its for 2.7k I looked on Overboost the on;y had force induction for a 4cylender and it was more around 5k

Id say go for the Turbo, but its always been my impresion that running a turbo on a stock car not really made for it can hurt, so I'd go with basic bolt ons.

alright,should i get anything to cool it down?

30 PSI?!?!?! GOOODBYE ENGINE!!!



:cwm27::cwm27::cwm27:

Or hello very, very, very low compression pistons! I say go with the minor bolt ons.

Whats recommended? I just wanna put 100hp turbo MAX I don't wanna burn out when I'm on the interstate(site please :-P)

Just get headers, exhaust, cai, the basic shit you know? Then follow it with a shot of nitrous. :)

Nitrous so early in the game, doesn't that kill an engine I don't wanna replace my valves

Nitrous doesn't kill your engine if it's a) done correctly and b) used with a bit of restraint. Get your basic I/H/C/E then worry about nitrous or f/i.

And the reason they don't make many turbo kits for the v6 accord is because they were all (I think, maybe the coupe's different) automatics.

Sportronic the only after market thing on ym car... forgot to menchin that but its one used like on the prelude I'd have to look in records or something

Ok, people have suggested a turbo, if I were to go with one on that car I'd keep it low boost, unless you really want to have to have your engine built for it, like low compression pistons, as suggested elsewhere.

What I'd do is this:
1) Intake
2) Exhaust (Cat-back, if you plan on turboing, you may wanna go with a bigger exhaust than if you decide not to turbo...)
3) Underdrive pulley
4) Throttle body, perhaps.
5) Header (If you turbo though, you'll have to dump this)

If that's not enough I'd consider using a small spray of nitrous (maybe a 50 shot or something to start out?) or, if you want to go all out, go with the turbo, but I seriously think it'll run you over $2k for all of the stuff to go with the turbo, if you wanna have maximum benefit from it.

k I'll figure something out

First things first. Before talking about throwing money at the car, you should have a good look at what you're trying to accomplish. The goal is to increase airflow through the engine, and the most effective way to do that is going to be to find the flow bottlenecks.

The first thing I'd consider is the exhaust and manifolds. Replacing the factory manifolds with headers and a good exhaust system is probably the best step. A cat back system is all very well and nice, but then you're going to have another bottleneck of the stock catalytic convert, and the Y-pipe that merges the headers, which probably won't even work with the aftermarket headers anyways, or an X/H pipe if you have dual exhaust. A major consideration should be emissions testing. I live in an area where we don't get tested for emissions, so I can run a car without a cat or EGR, and not have to worry about it. Then again, if you live in California, you have to put up with regular emissions checks. In that case, you'd probably want to invest in a pair of good high flow cat, or two, if you're going to do dual exhaust.

After that, a cone air filter conversion would be another good step, as well as removing and port matching the intake manifold. With your budget, pulling the head and valves to do even a mild port cleanup isn't really possible, so I'd stick to a simple port matching of the exhaust and intake ports to the headers and intake manifold. This will give you as much flow as possible through the head without some serious porting of the bowl area underneath the valves or getting aftermarket cams, which would be very expensive on a DOHC V6, since you'd need 4 of them.

Once that is done, you should considering getting a chip burned for it. Lots of places can offer you a "one size fits all" chip, but you should consult with the guys who are providing it and find out exactly what this chip is going to do. Many chips simply advance the ignition timing a little, and do nothing to keep the air/fuel ratio at an optimum level.

Once you've removed all the flow bottlenecks that you can, then it's time to start thinking about things like nitrous, you can get a small wet kit for your car, good for 50-100hp, and they aren't all that expensive.

I would forget about trying to turbocharge your engine. A 4 cylinder Accord is relatively easy to turbocharge, because it is a much smaller engine, and you only have one cylinder bank to deal with, whereas with the V6 you have two, meaning you need either two turbochargers, or a single turbocharger running off a Y pipe. Either way, that's a major hassle, even before you get into things such as fuel tuning, bigger injectors, intercooler, etc. It can be done, yes, but not easily, and definately not cheaply. Figure around $4K for everything, plus labour.

Good luck :biggrin:

Nice porsche I have a 944 Turbo
But Yea I can get that in a few months

slaps sum turbos in her! youll need an intercooler and a manifold. as long as your car doesnt have too many miles on it, your internal engine will be able to handle it!!!
