    What do you have done to your car now? Unfortunately, there isn't too much that will help us. :( Our cars are just naturally slow. Lol.

    Why the hell does everyone say turbo if you want good acceleration. If he does that then he is going to have to upgrade a few more things. Especially his clutch. If he just goes turbo (lets just say rrm's since it come with a piggy to control everything) His clutch will die in 3 days just from enthusiasm.

    Short ram intake (depends where you look. Ebay has legal cold air intakes for 70 or you can get k&n for 200)
    Ported throttle body 299
    Ported intake manifold 299
    RRM pulley or equivalent 129
    And some kind of exhaust
    ebay N1 exhaust I hear is good.

    Short ram gives low end power
    Cold air intake (longer tube) gives high end power
    dunno if you can do cold air due to you being an auto

    But Hondas are naturally faster off the line basically because most of them are RWD and ours are FWD. And they respond to bolt ons much better. That list up there will get you to beat a stock honda.

    i meant with the amount of money you hell spend on his car with that stuff, he can just put the turbo kit in it and still be faster, thats all. if i had the money i would n/a a car over turbo or supercharge any day of the week. but in order to make a n/a car faster than a turbo, its goin to take a lot more money thats all.

    Well you're looking at close to a thousand dollars for those NA parts and won't get much back out of it. You can build a turbo kit for a little more than that and make quite a bit more power.

    On a side note, I'm pretty sure that most Hondas are FWD, much like our Lancers.

    S2000's are about the only Honda I can think of that's RWD. NSX, s2000, and that's about it. Lol.
