hi guys .. this is my first time being here at <AF> if my question are lames i appologize..anyways i have been wondering what i should get or do to bring out more HP outta 99 accord...4cyl 2.3l Vtec engine ... what kinda of upgrades do i need...where should i start so far i got the aem v2 intake thats about it...please help n your opinion are greatly appreciated... have a good one guys,...

I have a Turbonetics ceramic ball bearing Turbo kit for your car....Before doing that, look into suspension work.
Anyone that orders a kit from us through AF gets $200 off the currect price for kits. www.headstrongmotors.com

well if you already have the v2 intake ( which is a waste of money in my book, you cant even feel the diff. between then v2 and the aei ) but just go the normal route...more air in = more waste out. go for a dc ceramic header and a good exhaust system of your choice, id also put a test pipe in place of your cat converter and just put the cat back in during inspection time. ( i think high flow cats are a waste of money ).. then just throw a lil fuel componants in there to mix it right and you have good grounds to work with from there on out...id get a a/f ratio gauge too when playing with your fuel system and air, just to make sure your in a good standing..esecialy if you dont know much.....or you could always say whatever and throw in an h22 and throw some psst psst in her lol.. but dont throw a turbo on there without building her up 1st

umm how about the standard AEM CAI instead of whatever babble i was talking about with the V2, ive been at work for way too long, 21hr shift anyone ??

I guess i should have asked how much $$ do you have?

To make it simple, you wont be fast if you wont go the forced introduction route, that is: turbo, supercharger nitrous system.

Good look. The other things will add sound...not real power.

drive it off a cliff

well there are alot of really quick all motor aplpications on the road, you dont have to throw boost..but me i got a push under the hood so i cant talk

cam gears, performance cams, new valve springs, head work, higher compression, 2.5 inch high flow exhaust and a good tuning. Then you might pick up 50 hp. Its not easy to get alot more power out of a honda engine without going forced induction or nitrous since they are already so efficient from the factory.

Thats really not true....you should easily make more power because of that reason.

hummmm so i think i might go with the dc ceramic header and a good exhaust system then i take the advice of quick95civic... oh yea do i have money??? lets just say i got a job that pay $6000.00 a month

oh yea sorry i dont mean to be rude.. but thank you for taking time to reply my post... help out alot guys .. .you are the best!!!

Im not saying it can be done, but you take a stock honda motor and do everything you can to it with out going into the motor or adding boost or nitrous, the see just how much power you pick up. I went that way before I went FI, I did intake, cam gear, full custom exhaust, etc. and I didnt pick up any respectable ammount of power in my opinion. Those mods on another car like a domestic usually show a larger power gain because they have a less efficient setup from the factory. Honda has figured out how to get about as much power out of the stock motor as possible and they dont leave much free horse power for you to find.
