1991 Honda AccordMarsal420 02-20-2008, 03:13 PM I just purchased a 91 Accord Coupe 5spd for $250 with a blown engine, the car comes with a running engine with a header and the trans in only about a year old. Other thing that are on the car prior to purchase are. Adjustable CoilOvers,Performance Exhaust I was told the Clutch wasn't replaced during the transmistion swap so i was going to put a new clutch in but what would be a good brand to look into that would give me great shifts and nothing to harcore for a dd? I also would like to know what would be some nice mods that will give me the best resoults over the powerband but wont break the bank ? I figure i purchased the car for MPG so im hoping to stay around the norm which what i was told was about 30-35mpg on avg , i dont want to loose much if any of that i would like to improve if possible. Thanks for your help, any and all information is greatly appreciated Marsal jeffcoslacker 02-20-2008, 03:42 PM Don't go big bore with exhaust or you'll loose low to mid range torque and the gas mileage will tank...small engines with a stock or mild tune need backpressure. Stock cats are monolithic type and very free flowing if healthy, I'd leave it alone. A good chamber muffler coupled with a K+N drop in replacement panel filter will wake it up a bit in the top end without blowing the low rev drivability.... Marsal420 02-21-2008, 11:58 AM We'll as of right now the car has the exhaust work done, and that is all that i know? So should i just get a CAI or get the stock setup and leave it at that with a nice aftermarket clutch or stock clutch? Im a Chevy owner so this is a entierly new world for me, so i can use all the help i can get. I own a 02 Chevy impala. so this is a big change. haha Marsal jeffcoslacker 02-21-2008, 07:45 PM I'm a Chevy fan also....that's why I'm waiting for the Honda guys to chime in, my advice is only general, not brand specific when it comes to Honda hop-up.... I was going to suggest am LS-4 would wake it up nicely...:lol: Marsal420 02-22-2008, 04:05 PM haha, yeah i suppose i could go by the new G8 and drop in the LS7.... But i hear there also supposed to be adding the LS3 to the mix as the GXP model come 09 :grinyes: OH yes But back to the Honda.... I dont know what to even say , i need help from a fellow "HONDA" owner/no it all " not in the rude Way either " Marsal vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
