Default New here.. need advice

Hello everyone, i am here representing a friends car. Im more familiar with forums so i said i'd dive in for him.

The car is a 2004 honda accord 2 door EX 5 speed manual. 6cy



He is thinking about performance but hasnt made up his mind about his budget or what he wants to achieve... so lets just play around with the idea that he can save for something if he needs to. In my experience, a turbo is always more cost effective, correct me if i am wrong with this particular car.

I told him that one option is I/H/E/Cams & a tune. Also, another would be a turbo + tune.


Im starting from the ground up so give me all your opinions between these two options or provide other input if you'd like.


By the way my name is Erik,
Thanks!

I don't know much about the V-6, but I'll just say that setting goals & budgets has to be the first thing. Otherwise it's such a wide-open question that many people just won't suggest anything.

"Performance" might be handling and cornering, more than just acceleration.

Think about that & then post out in Engine-Internal and/or Suspension areas. This new-user area is pretty much for welcome & introduction stuff.
