Affordable Upgrades

[tmac8]

Well I will be pulling the engine outta my 88 Accord Ex-i to replace the rings and clutch. While it is out I am looking to upgrade things that I can afford. I am not looking to spend any more then $1000 Canadian, so please let me hear your suggestions.

Thanks

Also what is the stock horsepower? I don't know the engine type yet, since it is still in my car.

u might have like 125 horse...around there..im not to sure about the 88's u could get a intake..maybe if they make headers for ur year and a Port and Polish...that should take up almost a grand can.depending wher eu get everything from..it would be cheaper to get a engine swap in the future man..

Well I will be doing the Port and Polish myself so that will save a lot of money. Done it lots on bikes so shouldn't be too much different on a car.

then put an exhaust system on..its prolly going to have to be custom..but i highly stress just saving ur money for a h22 or whatever will fit in there.....it will be WELL worth it..in the future..

Suck up over 12lbs of sand into your engine, via your intake... It's how the pro's port and polish their engines (with fine-grit sand)....

You know what I am talking about? Some kid on a GTi (Volkswagen) forum supposedly tried this. He got 1/2 way through his 25lb bag of sand when his engine finally croaked.
