Alas, the 7th gen has nothing.

@legionofone
Even a universal turbo wouldn't work?

most turbos are universal, but it would require fabrication and planning, and you would be looking at probably more money then a basic kit...... its doable....... its just time and money thats the factor. You may want to consider hunting down a supercharger kit that may come out before a turbo kit

How about using an aftermarket vtec cam? Maybe even one designed for turbos? I'm gonna keep my vtec with turbo, it seems to work pretty good. Surprises alot of people.
There are regrinds that can be done on the stock cam, the only other way is to do a custom billet cam which would cost over 800ish a regrind usually doesnt cost more then 300. But there are defined regrinds that increase the lobes for low rpm and high rpm for vtec

and unfortunately i cant remember the website that said this is a turbo regrind but the downside is the fact that sohc have equal intake exhaust have the exact same durations so you cant just define a longer duration for the exhaust vavles

Hey Chiovnidca, do you currently have turbo? I was just wondering at what RPM your turbo really gets spooling if you have VTEC on the motor. I know the boost doesn't show up untill about 3k on my car (no vtec). I've gotta get rid of some of this lag...
I have 2 civics d16z6. Ones got a big turbo, big cam, boost starts taking off at about 4500 rpms. Have vtec set @4000, it runs very strong below that.

The other is my daily driver. Small turbo, stock cam, boost starts at about 2000 rpms, peaks at about 5500. vtec is set at 4000.

So i forgot this was an accord forum, an a/f cam may be dificult to find. But vtec is vtec pretty much.

Same for the non-vtec. But the vtec has the ability to adjust the amount of airflow into the engine on the intake side. Valve overlap is a factor also. With vtec you get the best of two cams: Low rpms: small cam, good idle, good cruise, good throttle responce, good fuel efficiency. High rpms: Good power.

Yeahh..easily $4000 up.

And the thing that infuriates me the most is that it is most likely gonna say: (Exception: 4dr auto sedan w/ MAF sensor)

EDIT- I rather get a universal turbo....for less?
