1999 Accord V6 - HondaClub.com

Mataiyo · 05-26-2008, 11:13 PM

Well of course, just like everyone else here, I'm looking for that "bang for my buck" performance enhancement.

I've got a 1999 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 3.0

I've added a injen intake system so far and it held me off for awhile, but now I'm back in need of more power for my fix. I have around 1-2K budget I really don't want to go over.

Thanks in advance for all the advice.

headers, cat back and a zex wet n2o kit..that should hold you over for a little while.

Iridium plugs, plug wires, coil pack (this car was still beofre coil-on-plug, right PT?), and an ECU tune.

This was pre-coil packs LOL. I think that everything listed above would be right about $2,000. So there you go, you have got a good base to start on.

I'm not a big fan of nitrous, but complete exhaust+ignition overhaul, along with an ECU flash will throw you back into your seat quite a bit harder.

P.S.- For the ECU re-flash i'd use Hondata.

I second those motions. I'm not a big fan of spray either sorry PT. I would do those mods, then save up a bit again then find me a S/C kit for it.

You will get more out of the spray for WAY less than half the cost. The only reason people don't like spray is b/c they are scared of it.

**dre5491** · 05-27-2008, 04:05 PM

Nah, I'm not scared of it. Its just I want the power there all the time. I want to step on the gas and have it at the wheels. To me it would be a pain in the butt to pay to get the bottles filled a few times a week because honestly thats prolly how much I'd use it.

**PrimeTimeV6** · 05-27-2008, 04:12 PM

You just gotta get out of that mode. I was in it for a while, but I am not one to get on it much anymore. I just sit back and take a ride.

You have go to try it out and you will be hooked. Then you could give a first hand experience on why you do or do not care for it. I guess I am sayin' is don't knock it till you try it. lmao

I agree, N2O is a great power adder. But I feel like I have enough to deal with behind the wheel than to have to push another button, especially on the Auto-X and touge.
