^^^I agree, I wish I had torn down my J32 and rebuilt it before swapping. Whereas I get somewhere ~220 whp N/A, the guys who have built their J32's from the bottom up over on v6p put down 299whp N/A...ridiculous.
Supercharger questions?

Who on v6p is pushing 299whp NA J32?
Im on that site and have yet to see that.
I hear of J3X's being built and what numbers are supposed to be put out but have yet to see a dyno sheet. It's all just speculation.

Dude I don't know how to break this to you softly, but with the money you spent you undoubtedly have the J32A1 and not the much more sought after J32A2 found in the type-S.
A J32 is not just a J32. The 260 hp. 232 tq. A2 may have the same displacement, but it is really a different animal thanks to a much better flowing head, along with the cams of course, and other differences.
I don't know if you've backed down from the statement yet, but an SC'ed J30A1 will leave you far behind with no problems.
A 6-speed swapped J30A1 will also provide the same embarassment against your 4AT.
Come to think of it, I beat out a J32A1 auto TL in my F23 with H23 5-speed Accord.
Since your Accord is lighter we'd probably be fairly even.
To the OP: Compression is a good place to start but at 150k your bearings are definitely worn so I think FI at that mileage is a bad idea.
If you want to do FI, get a fresh low mileage engine (cheap options are J30A1 or J32A1), the comptech SC, management and a tranmission cooler. Drive it conservatively and at 8psi you should get 50k out of the engine before a rebuild. It won't be cheap, but that's just part of the game.
If you want something more reliable I would recommend the 6-speed swap. Get a new engine at the same time if you can. Also not cheap, but it will be a fun ride with some sleeper status.
Saying that a VQ is worth SC'ing, but a J32/33/35/36 is not, is just utter ignorance. You obviously don't know how far people are taking the J-series. I've ridden in an NA 6-speed J35 that was downright scary, breathing 5-6psi on that thing would be ludicrous.
Turboputz - Just stop, your ignorance is just overwhelmingly annoying, and your assumptions are completely false. If you had read my other posts in this thread, you should have been able to deduct what engine I have. Instead, you had to go ahead and attack another member in order to make yourself look more intelligent, when in reality, you just made yourself look like a jackass because of your lack of knowledge and your poor assumptions. Let me spell it out for you. My engine came out of a 2003 Acura TL-S, therefore, it is a J32__.....I'll let you figure that one out. I've also included a picture for your referencing. And maybe I'll add that little A2 to my signature as to lessen the confusion of those with lesser intelligence.

It was a pretty sound deduction that you wouldn't have the more expensive version with the money you paid. The fact that a logical deduction turned out to be wrong has no bearing on my intelligence; it's called an anomally. That anomally is exactly why your posts are not very helpful because that engine almost always costs more, a lot more. Good for you. IDGAF. And a 6-speed will still whoop your ***, sorry bud.
A 6 speed swap will not add power...It frees up drivetrain loss from the auto...I don't know where the extra 60 or 70 whp come from when converting auto to manual, so please enlighten us. And idgaf....what are you a child on AIM, i had to google that **** to figure it out. Grow up.

Woah woah woah go easy on quoting other people's words as my own.
Never did I say that a 6-speed would add 60 hp, so just relax on that one Captain Intelligence.
It will be faster because it has better gear ratios, puts the torque it has to the wheels faster, can hold gears to redline, and will have less drivetrain loss.
You have 4 long gears, a power robbing torque converter, an ecu that controls the whole show, and an ignorant know-it-all attitude. Please spare me the stories about how you shift your auto, if you go that route.
Basically, your 60 hp is somewhat irrelevant since you don't have the means to harness that power or put it to the wheels efficiently.
I would expect the J32 to win handily on the dyno. I'll give you that if you're into the numbers thing. In the real world, or in any type of competition driving, it's just plain slower.
