Yeah so just to learn some things and have a little fun dreaming what life would be like with a boosted car, I'd like to get some information going around. First, can an average joe like me purchase a turbocharger or supercharger for the 2003, 4 cylinder, 5 speed A/T, 160 HP, 2.4 liter Accord Coupe? What kind of increase in power would we be talkin if they boosted it as safely as the compression ratio (9.7:1) would allow? What kind of cost for a whole setup; turbo itself, ECU swap, labor, etc? Do they have a supercharger for the accord? and blah blah blah...

I know i should just search this stuff but whats the point of a forum if you cant get a personal touch to your answers? I won't actually be charging my car (now anyways) I'd just like to see some stats for my car.

thanks guys, lets crunch some numbers!

 

The point of a forum is for ppl to search then IF they can't find there answer then you ask you online community. Your not making a good name for yourself by st8 up not searching cus I won’t give a single oz. of info since you can't help out yourself! There is way too much info out there to ask a dumb f-in question like that. Good luck tho!

 

I realize your frustration, but my point stands. and this is different because its for fun and for me to learn a lil bit about my car and parts that enhance it. I know how a turbo works i know how a supercharger works. I like to think that my question is deep enough to the point where really the question has not been asked before because this is MY car and each subtle difference in a car can be important. Now if we can get beyond this, I'd like to have people stab away at this.

 

...like I said the info is out there. Each set up if diff. I know this. But ppl aren’t gonna help you if you can't help yourself. Since you already posted your not even gonna do it then expect no one to answer your question b/c it's just a waste of time since ALL the info on what your asking is just a click away. Your just setting yourself up to fail. But you do what you want make yourself look like a fool I don’t give two s*its since you don't want to help yourself. I gave you my 2c what you do with it is all up to you son. Good luck on your imaginary boosted build!

 

I'm most definitely not looking for a fight as this is a forum, duh. I can tell you are giving me your 2 cents, but i feel (and this is probably not only me) that you are being more disruptive than helpful.

I didn't say i wasn't going to boost my honda, its just "for fun" at the moment because i haven't the money to spend on a turbo, yet. Also, it should be easy to see i don't know enough information on turbos to just go out and make it work. You have to start somewhere and if i like the idea of a turbo accord and get the money, then yes i would like to attempt to boost my car. This may honestly take years to see fruitition, but in the end i know it will work because i cared enough to ask you guys and whoever else.

As this is my question thread and you are not helping i am going to ask you to stop posting here, this has turned my thread into an argument which i tried to avoid but failed. Forums are to help people, and in a way YOU gave yourself and this forum a bad name. So to keep the reputation of the other "senior members" and mods a good one, I would stop complaining.

Again, if anyone doesn't mind just pointing me in a direction or sharing an interest, let me know. This is a car forum, so lets talk car!

 

lol by asking me not to post that just make me want to post even more....st8 up I’m just that much of a hole. Just to you off cus your so ignorant. I’m not trying to fight either but since you can't do the easiest thing in the world and search then I’m gonna give you about it. Trust me go on www.honda-tech.com and try asking your question you will prob. ban you for asking about something that has been covered 9876543567654 times.
Try this since you want everyone to hold your hand for this whole thing.
Go to www dot google dot com and type in the "search engine" (the blank white bar) "k24 turbo". See what you come up with. Read for about 2-3rs. then come back and ask questions…if you even have any. I’m telling you it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to search for info. See your the type of ppl that what everything handed to them. Like a rich who can’t even poor his own cup of coffee you just want it done. You might take me as a but I’m not gonna ease up till you help your own self. Dude I was the same way when I 1st got into Hondas back when I was 14 and I’m 23 now. I wanted all the answer up front and you know how much that helped me out? Not a damn bit…got kicked off forums for asking questions like you are about stuff that was already covered over and over again.
If you want a sick nasty boosted set up it take time and work…and I don’t mean physical work I mean research things. I mean if you just want a boosted set up sooo bad and don’t want to work for it. Go on ebay and buy a cheap-o $800
Turbo kit. See how long it last and how long your engine last. I’m not telling you all this to be a I’m telling you this out of the love for Hondas. I don’t want to see another honda dead on the side of the road b/c of ignorance. Do it right the 1st time. But it takes want you can’t expect it to fall in your lap.

 

Glad to hear you're an ... And no, I'm not ignorant. What you cannot seem to possibly understand is that I have searched and found little to nothing on my specific car. Really there seems to be nothing for the year 2003 and up for an accord. No duh it isnt hard to search, you have definitely got the wrong guy to on. I'm not some 14 year old who's driving the parents Honda lookin to make his car go vrooom for $1000 and an afternoon's time. If you got kicked off of forums for being a simple human being im sorry, but look what has happened, you're the doin the same thing. I consider that ignorant.

I realize full well the time, money and knowledge it takes to boost a car, especially a mid-grade Honda like the accord. Like I've said before, I'm looking to learn beyond the "this is how a turbo works." I came here looking for some real experience and sure have not found it yet. You have really just made things great for the users of this site, not really.

I've done my reading, trust me. I cannot find a decent site that sells any turbo/super charger that looks half as real as it should. I cant find out how much a charger would help my engine because of all the mixed reviews. If you would like to be done with me then go ahead and write the "all encompassing turbo guide for Hondas." although that wont help you either and you know it. People will always ask questions so get over it.

If these sites are garbage let me know...

So in other words, you want us to repeat what we've said to other people and add a "personal touch" because you don't want to search for the information that is already out there.

Sorry, but I pefer to not waste my time answering a question over and over especially when you know it has been answered.

The PURPOSE of a car forum is to provide information. The information has ALREADY been provided.

 

1997 and g22cd5, I can see this is a very soresubject with the upper level members. I'm sorry to be such a huge burden in the forum. If this has been covered many times for my car than all I will ask is to simply copy and paste 2 or 3 helpful links on this forum. I'm looking to turbo my car not a 6 cyl or a 1997 lx. A 2003 4cyl accord. Thank you.

This is a very good over view about turbo systems and such.^^^^

Try searching "7th gen accord turbo" "k24 7th gen accord turbo" or something along tho's lines. I got the best results with thos key words. Also don't buy a whole kit unless you get a uber good deal b/c it will be cheaper to piece your kit together.
Hear is some info about what sizes turbo to use for the k24.

The info is out there bro. you just got to find it. I found all that within 20min. Try thos key words and add your own twist and see what you come up with. I didn't search for the SC b/c I think the turbo will be your best bet IMPO.
