Yeah Comptech is out of business, but you can still find some of their parts around.
If you want power and a warranty I'd say go with the I4 manual and get I/H/E, that was you can always go back to stock if you need the warranty for something. There isn't a simple way to turbo or SC a car without it draining your pocket and voiding your warranty.

^^^ nice comparison! get the V6 or an S2k ..... how about a unicycle vs. a Hayabusa ..... or for that matter an Accord vs. a Corvette!
ummm i assumed since he's obviously on a HONDA forum looking to tune up an 08 car maybe he should go towards those and its not even that slow so what are you talking about?????the S2000 is very fast i give it that but it wont beat a V6 at ease!don't get me wrong it'd win but you make it sound like the accord would get demolished

Because it would get demolished. Number of cylinder, horsepower, and torque don't mean much these days. What counts is how you put it on the road through tires, suspension, gearing, clutch, etc. The Accord is built as a family car and performs like one (with some guts) and the S2K is a sports car (built for speed, not comfort. lol). My car is 2.3L, I certainly wouldn't f*** with a 1.8L Lotus, a 2.0/2L S2K, 2.0L Evo, or 2.0L STI. The last two weigh in about the same as your Accord (a little less) and none have forced induction. So, in the end, I would say falkore's comparison are very reasonable. HP to weight ratio FTW and that is why an S2K will beat a V6 accord with ease.

Sorry but the v6 coupe 6spd most likely would take a s2k in the straight line the s2k is not built for straight line it is built for more or less for time attack and you can't compare a 1800 pound 1.8l lotus that has 190 hp to the s2k the s2k would not stand a chance in that fight sorry to say for us honda lovers but the nice thing is alot of time attack lotus elise's do honda motor swaps which motor i am not sure. For the evo and STI completely different class of car also both built for rally.

I'm not saying falklore is wrong, but what i am saying is that i thought the guy was looking for power and style so what i was saying is he should look more on the V6 line,or just get a S2000.I never said the two were evenly match, because i know a S2000 will beat an accord, but come on now! the simile he used is competely absurd!come on now,he's using a 500 horsepower car(the corvette) to go up against a 265 horsepower car(the accord)!that is a horrible comparison!!he makes it sound like the accord is dirt slow compared to a S2000!
