Hey I just wanted to know if there was anything performance wise that could be done with my '99 2.3 CL (5 spd. of course) before I bought it from my dad. It's a great looking and great driving car it's only got 41k original miles cause we bought it from an old lady who only drove it to the market and to church.

Anyways, my past cars have all been Saabs which I have been able to tune extensively b/c they are turbo-charged. From what I have browsed, it doesn't seem like there is much performance wise i can do to the car but I wanted to see if I was getting the right perspective. The car has 150hp which is ok but I'm used to 250+ from my Saabs is there anyway to get this car close to that range?

Thanks in advance,
J.Stoops

 

I know on the 2.2's you can throw in an H22 from a prelude But I'm not sure about the 2.3 i bet it would though i dont see why not

oh yea

the H22 comes with 200 hp stock... then additional mods could get it up to like 220 or so-ish

 

only thing about a swap is although i'm fully capable of doing it, i doubt i could justify the funds to pull a motor with only 41k babied miles

 

i've also read that the CL is almost a dressed up version of an accord (makes sense since they're both Honda products) will accord performance parts fit the CL? do they share the same engine?

also for the CL is there a decent header/exhuast system? (nothing ricey i hate rice)

 

duckie is lookin at this thread... n00b guide before he gets to it...

"all 94-97 accord parts will fit our car"

actually thats not the direct quote but you get the idea...

 

if your in so. cal then imixxxwell can do a complete H22A4 ob2 swap.

 

first start with the noob guide then use the search button. if all fails then open a thread. kthxbye.

 

heh sorry
