how about selling it and buy a NSX... bwahaha..
i wouldn't want to mess with a brand new car, and i have no idea about
what under the hood of a 2008 Accord
if you want some fun just take off the pipe connecting the airbox
resonator and the air cleaner housing. That'll increase the air flow
but then the engine will be drawing warm air from the engine
compartment, so the net effects on performance could be zero. The ECU
might set the "Check Engine" light if oxygen/fuel mixture ratio gets
out of hands, but it's not likely. In this case, resetting the ECU is
necessary for it to learn the new air intake settings and adjust the
injections accordingly.
Doing so gives the engine a loud exhaust note when it's under load.
It's fun and it's better than doing short ram intake. Most of all,
it's reversible. Put the pipe back in if you don't like what you see,
and don't forget to reset the ECU if it's bitching.
But seriously, i can only suggest using synthetic oil..

Nice, that would be useful to tow the boat. Not sure what else it would
be useful for unless you lived in Nevada and took a run down the salt
flats full speed before the explosion. >> Stay informed about: 2008' Accord 2.4L Performance Upgrades? |

Well, you could always wait until they start making a turbo kit for the
new 2.4L Accord OR you can find someone who will custom make one for
you. Other than that, the only true "performance" upgrade would have
been to go with the 3.5 V6 OR purchase a totally different car all
together! I hate to break it to you buddy but you don't exactly have a
performance car on your hands. >> Stay informed about: 2008' Accord 2.4L Performance Upgrades? |

eh? weight for weight, which has the better 1/4 mile - a 300 hp car or
a 200 hp car? and subaru win rallies all over the world with this
vehicle - hardly possible if it can't handle that output. >> Stay informed about: 2008' Accord 2.4L Performance Upgrades? |

Great, and I would love to have a 1001hp bugatti veyron, but other than
the best 1/4 mile ever (street racing=illegal+deadly) or running rallies
all over the world (you travel the world to be in rallies?)
Then what else is so much horsepower good for? Going from one stop light
to the next? Getting nailed by a state trooper on the interstate and
paying through the nose on your isurance premium? Doing a 1/4 mile
somewhere (which is illegal), towing a boat? Doing road trips with 55mph
limit on the highways? Hauling 3 very obese passengers during carpool time? >> Stay informed about: 2008' Accord 2.4L Performance Upgrades? |

I doubt the Subaru WRX-STI clutch and transmission are designed to handle
TOWING.
and it's still only a 2.5 liter motor.

braked trailer - 1200kg, unbraked - 750kg. 1200 = 2640lbs.
i lived in europe for a while and over there, lots of people run
trailers with their tiny little 1300cc fwd econoboxes. and nobody seems
to have much of a problem with it. the thing about trailers here is
that they're unbraked - that's much more of a problem than worrying
about whether the vehicle will make it up the hill. we have this odd
concept of it being essential to drag up a hill without changing gear.
the europeans don't, and frankly, i think the euros are right on that one. >> Stay informed about: 2008' Accord 2.4L Performance Upgrades? |
