Default NEWBIE, PICKING UP MY H22 ACCORD NEXT WEEK

Hi everyone, I plan to buy a 1995 4 door MT H22A Accord next week. I am new to hondas, and the tuner world. This car already has CAI, header, AEM fuel rail, perfromance cams,andVTEC controller. I will try to get pics for you guys as soon as I get it. My question for you guys right now is what else can I do to the car besides turbo? How much true HP do you think im running provided this is a good setup. Thank you all.

You could always port and polish, bigger bore, internal stuff. Just curious but how much are you paying for the car.

Don't bury the tach, please, unless you like rebuilding motors. Probably puts 160-165 to the wheels.

paid 2500, I think somethings up with it that isnt presenting itself...... Its a blast to drive. I want to bury the tach though, I did once to about 7400 does it have a shut off system?

Performance question, its also lowered and sitting on 17s. I drive a miata currently with light as hell Konig 15s, I wanted to put those on the honda but lowererd and 15s dont mix IMO. I guess im looking for lighter wheel and tire package for less unsprung weight (more acceleration power?)

You'll hit the rev limiter, also, most of the time you're not making any more power by revving that high. As for tips...invest in some good mods and a tune.

do you think thats a decent deal for 2500? Unfortunatly, there are no respectable shops here locally that I would take to get it tuned. I know it needs it. Im going to run synthetic motor oil in it, is there a more desireable weight? Premium gas for the higher compression. It has adjustable gears for timing advance/retard and a vetec controller, neither one I know how to adjust properly.
