Ok, I have a '92 EX, with CAI, and I was wondering what are the easiest upgrades, such as head/intake/throttle body swaps and the like. I mean easiest as in the amount of work involved actually doing the upgrade. I work, my fiance works swing shift, and we have a 8 1/2-month-old son, so I don't have a whole lot of time to do work on my car. Also, I don't have access to a machine shop, so that rules out the H22/23 head swaps if I remeber the DIY's correctly. Just looking to see what I could do, and, for instance, if the easiest head swap I could do will work well with the easiest intake swap, things like that. Then I can search for DIY's for whatever you guys recommend and the Classifieds for the parts. Thanks!

you already have the best IM for our accords...what about an exhaust? installing a good header isnt hard to do either...boring out the throttle body shouldnt be hard either.

header and exhaust will likely be my next one as well; if you dig suspension, a rear sway and a set of strut bars are pretty damned easy if I may say so myself (in fact I just did)

An 'easy' mod would be to get your throttle body bored out. Check out www.maxbore.com , very good service and awesome turnaround time NTM its cheap.
This will increase throttle response and allow more air into your combustion chamber.
DIY oil catch can, its not really a performance upgrade rather a preventative thing. Check out this thread: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...ighlight=catch
You can do your own grill as well...again not a performance thing more so an appearance thing.
Header would be easy to do but you have the a6 EM and have the 4-2-1 ex header...not really going to notice any performance gains. There are a probably a couple more things I could list but this should keep you busy for a bit .

Hmm, well, my Accord being dd and all, I really couldn't pull the throttle body and send it away. Although, I do have a '92 DX sitting doing nothing. Are the throttle bodies the same, so I could send him that one and then swap when I get it back? Or if the EX's is better is the DX's similar enough that I could use it in the EX and send the EX's tb off?
Think I might look into doing that oil catch just so I can say I did a mod on the engine that isn't just a bolt-on application!
Already have a front strut bar, think I may get a rear one, though most of the places around here where I might be using some speed are pretty straight.
I like my grill with the mesh in it the way it is, matches the bumper, though that bumper has been a pain in my neck. Also don't wanna do anything that would get rid of my "H"! Don't understand people that drive a car and take off all the emblems that tell people what it is.

take your grill off it looks hardcore and adds airflow

Hmm why not a 5-speed swap its worth it and if you can do that thats a easy swap if you have a engine lift and go from there

ive heard that the ex header is almost as good as an aftermarket oneOriginally posted by arrozburnertofastfelonyComment

It's been argued that the A4 would really be better than the a6 manifold/header, although....we're still somewhat dizzy about that. The throttle body's are the same on all the trims, at least AFAIK, somebody can back me up/correct me, or just check hondaautomotiveparts.com and check the part numbers for each engine to make sure it's all the same part number

if you got time and feel like it you can always add a short ram or a cold intake, that will give u alittle bit more of hp and some new sounds, one thing you may want to look around and research in adding some bigger fuel injectors. just take it one mod at a timeComment

Adding bigger fuel injectors without other modifications that require large amounts of additional fuel is an unneccessary expense....Originally posted by foodmonster36Comment
