What would you recommend?

One of my sergeants has a Honda Accord and I'm talking to him about beefing it up. He says he's got a little dough and his first priority is suspension. He's thinking about Tein + EDFC.

About his engine, though, he's got an H22 engine that is 200+ HP, and he's able to put down 15.9's at the track (he can't remember, but he says he seems to remember his trap to be a little over 90mph.)

Should he look at a new engine or stay with what he's got? Turbo kit? Maybe bore/stroke the existing engine?

Curious.

Yeah doesnt Jackson specialize in Honda/Acuras? I hear they have good results.

They only had the following listed for Hondas, but they must have em for Accords.


All Supercharger systems are made of OEM quality components and come complete including all brackets, belts, hardware, fuel management and detailed instructions. If you would like to know what specifically comes in each system please select your car below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honda
88-91 CRX 989-000
92-95 Civic 989-100
96-98 Civic EX 989-200
99-00 Civic EX 989-201
96-00 Civic DX 989-210
99-00 Civic SI 989-250
97-01 Prelude 989-650
97-01 Prelude SH 989-655


Im pretty sure a guy I saw in Vegas had the jackson in his accord. Thought he said it gave him an extra 50-60hp? That sound about right? Not entierly sure, emailed him just now...

If he has a H22A there should be an Accord variant of the Prelude S/C.

From the catalog it looks like Preludes get from 155hp 133tq to 222hp 195tq, not a bad boost. Still dont see anything about Accord or Legend, but they must have something...

jackson racing sucks. overpriced, underpowered. I used to eat supercharged honda's for breakfast with my integra.


if he is serious about making any amount of power, ... tell him to find a turbo kit.

They have some here:

http://www.turbo-kits.com/honda_turbo_kits.html

http://www.hondahopup.com/nosturbo-turbo-drag.html

http://www.autonetperformance.com/tu...ura/hakits.htm

Not sure what the Jacksons cost, these all seem to be about $3400 - $4000.

I have, but also trying to look at 'what else'. (The turbo kit advice is always present, no matter what other suggestions I make to him). I was just wondering which engine he would be best to kit.

you can get the f-max turbo kits in groupbuys once every few months or so, same with the drag kits.

nevermind the bad things you may hear about the drag kits, that was early on in the kits (Generation 1&2), the Gen3 and 4 are much better. I had a Gen 3 kit on my integra, with a stage 3 ball-bearing turbo.
