turbo, lighter flywheel, header, intake, exhaust, underdrive pulleys, true time gear, chip, larger throttle body, cam, intake manifold, port and polish head, stroker crank, larger pistons, increased quench area in the combustion chamber, larger injectors, remove weight from the car itself.

Turbo'ing your accord may be cheaper than you think...

I did mine for under $2000

you can get an old car and build that up for cheaper then most cars, but a fiero car is a bit of a wanabie car.
Go a little more exotic..... lotus esprit turbo ^^ one from 13 years ago still costs 30grand lol

and if you havent spent 2000 on buying a car..... you might want to question the quality of some of the cars that youve bought.

And you could most likely find a turbo setup for cheaper if you do major hunting at the local junk yards....


side note, my turbo bill so far is 1400, just need the down pipe which is going to be 250

haha all of my cars have had something wrong with them to make them that cheap, (usually high miles/old model/scratches/dents/parts needed), ive been pretty happy with every vehicle that ive owned (except the pathy, it was HORRIBLE on gas & power).

91 lumina-blown motor $200 lol
95 cavalier- 115k on it, lots of rust, $500
88 celica gt convert.- 206k, some rust/dents $1000
87 pathfinder- 186k large holes in the rear floor, exterior rust, motor ran like ****, $800
87 nismo hb 2wd- needed a paintjob/stereo 117k-$500
90 lumina- great car, loved everything about it, 120k had scratches-$500
95 ford taurus station wagon- total piece of ****, had for like 2 days-gift
96 lumina- ran great, awesome shape, 196k-$600
92 firebird needed body parts, paintjob, tuneup, hole in floor 116k $800
94 accord 2.2 vortec 114k needs paintjob, fenders are junk, 1 rust hole, many scratches/dents on one side-$500

i enjoyed em all except for the taurus & the pathy/firebird (pre-tune up/paintjob). im thinking about fixing up the honda so that it looks pristeen (sp?) and selling it because they go for like $2500 around here (great little cars).

and all those cars that youve bought if you bought a 95 or so accord, and turboed it, you would still be using it right now ^_^ and you mean vtec not vortec

not true, i probably would have killed my friends' vehicles with it, then sold it and bought something else (its fun to get something new lol).
