Hey fellow Accord owners,
I need your help. I own a 2005 2dr coupe with the k24 and 5 sp. Its got 70k on it. I know its not the power machine as the tsx or rsx, but I need some ideas. I know I could turbo it. The 301/310 hp/tq kit for 5500 would work nice. But I want to go a little bit more unique then a bolt on turbo. There's always the headswap n/a compressed out to 11.5 with itb's and k-pro and all the good stuff...I want to shy away from all the "fast and the furious" bodykits and underglow and go with subtle tasteful modifications like a lip kit and stock spoiler and 17" rims and tires. I'd like your help with everything. Opinions welcomed...I am really torn about the powerplant though. Please help!

 

Sell it and go buy the Chevy 350 V-8 you are expecting your Honda to be.

 

Not quite. You've got me all wrong. I just would rather go with a type 4 looking car....not lambo doors and vinyls.

 

THe accord was originally suppose to be a V8 you know.....

 

Those are antiques, K series are the future of 4cyl drag racing. I have seen k series make 1000hp. However I dont exactly get what you are asking with your post, but anything is possible with a k series.

 

You either go N/A or forced induction, not both. $5500 for a turbo kit is outrageous. Mix and match your turbo parts for the most unique and cheaper set up. A quality turbo build is going to run you $2500 - $3500, maybe more since it's a K.

 

I guess what I was trying to say is which direction should I go? N/a or turbo? Nitrous? Supercharger?

 

theres alot of work in all, but money wise, go nitros, but be warned, nitrous can kill your car the first time. make sure you have EVERYTHING set up right if your gonna do it, casue those 20 seconds of AHHH(accerating) is not worth the OH SH*T my car is ruined

 

I am building my Accord N/A, I like it, you cant get as much power, but can deff get enough, I have seen k series make 350whp N/A. Where as I have seen them make 700-1000 turbo(more than any street going car would ever need).

its really up to your own personal preference.

 

mmmmmmm 2jz hehehe tops out at what like 1001 turbo, srry, just had to say something idky
