Should I just stick with i/h/e in my accord, or should I save up for a supercharger/custom turbo setup? It's a 2001 Accord V6 ex sedan.

Well if you really want some advice... You should stick with your ihe and save for a h22 swap and custom turbo setup with a few extra bucks thrown in for some internals. While you're at it, might as well throw in some money for some interior work and mild exterior modding.
btw, the other stuff is for me. If you need any more advice on what to buy just let me know! :naughty: :2cents:

If I do any work to the interior, it will be removing any thing that I don't need. Full leather interior adds quite a few pounds.
How much would a h22 swap and turbo set up w/ internals cost? 4k?

Well I was kinda just kidding about 90% of my post (unless you really wanna buy that stuff for my car, in which case you're more than welcome :biggrin: ) But really though, I wouldn't do an H22 swap on a V6 accord since your J30 already makes 200hp and 35 more lb/ft of torque (like 195 vs 160) Only advantage of swapping for a H22 would be getting an extra cam to work with and dropping in a manual tranny if you wanted to take that extra step.
But all that plus a turbo setup would cost a pretty penny, like $5-6k for somethin decent in the neighborhood of 260hp with like 9psi boosted. For a $6000 sticker, you'd be far better off taking that money and supercharging those 3 liters you got to make some monster torque and a lil less hp, like 245ish I'd say. Plus you'd still have like 4k left for other goodies! :evillol: :naughty:
