Re: What should I do
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.

Re: What should I do
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.

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

Re: What should I do
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!!!
