Hello,
I'm deciding to buy a I4 08 Accord Coupe Ex manual drive because it's $4800 cheaper and averages 5 mpg more than the v6
manual. However, I would like to eventually add a turbo kit or a supercharger that won't damage the engine's longevity. It would be great if the add-on won't affect the accord's warrantee. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!!

We'll forgive you this time since your new Next time if you accidentally post in the wrong section, just ask a mod to move it and we will do that for you.
To answer your question: I am pretty sure adding forced induction will totally void the warranty. Also a turbo or supercharger will likely shorten the engine life. A lot of that has to do with the way most people drive when they have a turbo...
Oh yeah: Welcome to the forum!

I honestly don't think that is a good idea. if you add a turbo or supercharger its going to void the warranty point blank. wouldn't it be smarter to spend the money you're going to use to get that accord to get something like a civic or scion or even a GTI,better on gas mileage and tuner friendly, and just tune it up with the money left over?and if you read the reviews on the 8th generation accords, they seem to be focused on competiting against other luxury cars like lexus and BMW and whatnot.besides the 8th generation looks like a heavy generation to me.and in my opinion and from my research,if you're looking for torque and power within the 8th generation,it would be smarter to just save up and get the V6,6 speed version. 268 Hp is not bad at all for an accord and with a manual in your hand, its like putting a 8 year old child in a candy store and say get whatever you want.

Buy the V-6 initially. You're going to void the warranty 100% and spend damn near $10K for a custom huffer setup along with tons and tons of custom tuning IF you can find a place qualified to do it. Also forget the 5 mpg advantage with forced induction and enjoy buying premium fuel only.

^ I agree....those are excellent points RtexasF. Turbo will more than likely decrease the fuel economy to that of the V6(or worse), and you have to use premium after you turbo. So you would wind up spending a lot more $ on a 4 cyl if you turboed it, then it would still probably be slower than the V6 and possibly get worse gas mileage to boot.
