DIY install and there you go. Save up another 3-400$ for when you turbo craps out and rebuild it. Run low boost for now, like 5-6 psi until you can get a tune.

[CrosCntryAccord]

h22 has good sound

if you want power go for NASOHC's head, thats worth the moeny

Save that 1000, and put it towards a J swap.

Or buy a 6spd tranny, then swap it

hell i have a v6 auto and even i realized its kinda pointless to do basic bolt on mods, and that i would be content with knowing im not fast, i would like to sound fast, but i have realized it takes alot, alot of money to make our cars fast... there is a good handful of guys on here who do have fast 6th gen's but they also have spent more on mods than the actual worth of the car.

there is no such thing as cheap Horsepower, perhaps the 6ga is not the car that will fit your needs

Hey homeboy, he just gave it to you.


There is NOTHING you can do as far as boring, EMS, piggy back for under a grand. Your going to need A LOT more into the car and buy more pieces to allow you to utilize these things you listed.

What they said. The two "cheapest" things i would do as far as performance is concerned, remove your intake resonator and convert your exhaust from dual to single using the stock exhaust system. You'll probably see some low-end torque gain on your "butt-dyno", but other than that, save your $$$ for a nice H/U and speakers/amp combo.

bro I would rather drive a Cobalt than put an eBay turbo in my ride. Cuz when it blows up in 2 months, that's what I will be driving...

Ebay turbos sometimes only last on the first pull, I wouldnt waste my time and energy into something like that.

Making more power out of this engine is going to cost some cash, just face it. There is no cheap way around it.

Cut your muffler/s off. Or just unbolt, and drop them. Guarenteed H.P. haha... and noise. Since that was my goal. Not to mention it had the wrong muffler on it and it was smashed and rusted out... I now get 38mpg at 70mph. instead of 29. Lol
