RE: i need 20 hp cheap and easy
1st) i agree on the weight reduction 100%.just dont think itll increase hp. (i like how someone said "MIGHT feel like gain in hp")
2nd) during this weight reduction, (if thats now part of your plan) you couldebay the items removed.
and before you ask, i have no idea what you could get for anything. but you might luck out. and if you get an exhaust setup that replaces or removes your cat, i hear a muffler shop will give you a few bucks for your old one.
3rd) i havent looked into it and never will for practicality reasons. butare there any nitrous setup in this guys budget?

reducing the mass the engine has to rotate or even move will always improve things, but its an accord..... there isnt a huge amount of removeable mass that doesnt involve making the car look like someone stripped it for parts. Shy of of replaceing the hood, doors and trunk with fiberglass you arent going to remove large amount of weight. Granted some day i plan on replacing my hood with a fiberglass one.... I like the idea of a 25lb hood ^_^
But you still arent going to get 20hp worth out of it all
If you find a deal you can get a setup for around 300ish for running the bottle and if you take your time and make the right setup you can refuel it yourself for really cheap ^_-

RE: i need 20 hp cheap and easy
what exactly do you need the 20 hp for? You make it sound as if you're in dire need of the power to make a deadline or something. the easiest way with the least labor would have been to just buy the v6. even though my i4 is rated at 130hp i would swear it makes around 160... it at least feels more powerful than friends' cars that i drive. I/H/E for a little gain, i dont care what anyone says, a grounding ("earthing" as they say across the ocean) kit will improve responsive ness and the ebay ones are just fine @ $25 (Actually cheaper than making it yourself)
