Need an opinion on upgrades
I have an 02 accord v6 EX and am at about 108k miles right now... My question is... is it worth the money to put a supercharger in and all those other mods to it at that milage?
I already got headers catback and exhaust so should i keep on going?

if the motor still runs good..and also if you plan on keeping your car then i would say go for it...but i would suggest checking your engine first and make it at its tip top shape and then go for that supercharger...you dont want your engine to break when you run with your SC...

rebuild would be the way to go, and get forged everything so you can run more boost.
but thats going to cost you thousands of dollars.
and is your car manual or automatic

well i rebuild would probably more expensive than buying a new one..but for me the pros outweighs the cons on having your engine rebuilt...what i would do is save my money and have my engine rebuilt and go from there...

RE: Need an opinion on upgrades
well i found an engine from an acura 3.2L though its getting annoying that the guy who is selling it doesnt tell me wether its from a TL or a CL... Engine look similar to the one i got so the new intake and SC should fit in it just fine. However, does a TL or CL engine got sucky low rpm's and when u hit the gas starts of slow? Cuz thats the problem i got with my engine now so thats the only reason im considering to put a SC to improve to lower rpm's. I want my car to bolt as soon as i hit the gas and not wind up and bolt after i hit 40mph. Now if the TL or CL doesnt have this problem then i'll Turbo it, but still does anybody know about TL/CL engine performance?
