Ok i have a 99 honda accord coupe and i am looking to improve the performance on it. I have been looking around at turbos and stuff but im new to all this stuff so i dont know what im doing. I have a cold air on it and thats about it for performance. I got $1400 in the bank so i dont know what all i can get out of that.

 

I4,v6?manual?Auto?

And 1400 couldnt really get you much as far as turbo goes.

 

If you have an auto... $1400 would get you close(r) to an manual swap.

Here is what $1400 will buy:
a) Intake, Header, and Exhaust (all very good, name brand)
b) A fairly nice set of wheels AND tires
c) A great suspension package including some Tein SS coilovers w/ pillowball top mounts, or an amazing Spring/Shock combo with money left over for some braces and sway bars (and camber kit?).

 

its a v4 automatic......

 

ok turbo man is here dude 1400 could almost buy you a turbo kit (full) look heres where you can start off

Here ya go the full kit and you will have the money to install it

need any answers let me know...i have one on mine

 

V-4................................[&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:] you mean i 4 nevermind about the turbo then

 

a) He has an I4, not a V6, so why the V6 turbo kit?

b) That kit is complete ****, there I said it. smcizme, the turbo itself should cost $700-$1000 for one that wont destroy your engine. All the parts to turbo your car will total out to $2500-$3000 in the end, without labor or tuning.

c) You have the infamous 6th gen Accord autotragic transmission which is likely to die on its own, and much quicker with more power running through it.

d) skeetingclaybird, dont start this BS again please? We dont tell people to waste money on junk. We tell people realistic answers and suggest cheaper alternatives (but reliable and quality) parts to people who dont want to pay for the good stuff. You are not said "turbo man", if this guy really wants good advice from someone with a turbo accord Ill direct him to KevinAccord or 6GA.

 

ok so say i find a turbo and put it on..... i was reading other ppls stuff is there a chance that i would blow the engine?

 

At 5psi and a decent tune, not really. The stock internals can handle about 8psi max, but allegedly skeetingclaybird runs 11psi on his.

 

ok guys thanx for the helpful tips
