Yeah, it seems that the "easy bolt-on power" list for our cars is pretty short. Have you gotten the Optima battery yet (not exactly a HP gainer, but still important)?
BTW, you must have used the Underdrive pulley that was listed for the 03-05 Accord V6's right? Did you notice any difference?

why is it important to get the Optima battery? how is it better?

whats the point to put outlaw engineering throttle body spacers?

i dont really feel the difference from the pulley...
but the RPM will go up faster than the stock pully on...
dont know is it REALLY gain HP or not...lol

I got the Optima battery because the thing is freaking bulletproof. It use individualy wrapped sealed cells (6 chambers, so it looks like a 6-pack), so you can put the battery anywhere (any position) without having to worry about leaks. So, if you would need to relocate the battery for a Turbo or something, you're set. I got it because: it lasts longer, better starting ability, less vibration (no sloshing acid).
As for the throttlebody spacers,,,,eerrrhhh,,, must have something to do with more air going in the engine?
Now for your pulley, is it the underdrive or stock diameter?

i think the outlaw engineering throttle body spacers keeps the engine cooler and does something with the intake air coming in.

there's the link for the tbs:

a '02 tl-s gained "8.6 whp and 9.2 ft-lbs of torque" according to their site... but i dunno. i doubt you'd be able to feel anything...

3.5L engine build, nothing beats displacemnet :D

E-Manage Ultimate will also help to un-lock some hidden ponies, provided you find a good tunner.

Peta, meet NVA-AV6, he does some sweet frankin-car stuff. However, like me, you will need to scarifice your warrenty in order to take advantage of his kind of mods.
Yeah, your right , but I buy my cars already out of warrenty with a full build plan in mind. Big difference buying a new $28K car and ripping the hell out of it vs buying a stright 3-4 year old car for $12K and ripping the hell out of it. The last car I bought new was my 03 Pilot.

true... thats why im not planing to do turbo & supercharge...
or TL swap...

can i just take off the e-manage like that if my car has problem?
so then i will still have my warrenty when i take it to dealer?

so what else can i do beside those BIG mods like turbo s/c TL swap?
Yes, you can take off the E-Manage provided that you get something like a BoomSlang extension harness and do not cut the factory one, this is what I am doing so that I can eaisly remove the E-Manage in case of problems. The extension harness connects between the ECU and the factory wire harness so you can add things like the E-Manage without distrubing the factory harness, well worth the $120 for the extension.

Have you dyno'd your car? How much power are you putting down at the wheels with the mods that you have now?

lose some weight :D its not going to increase HP but it will make your car that much lighter :D
True. Our cars are heavy. Go for weight reduction; when it's important to be light, I take out the spare tire (replaced by 2 cans of "Fix-a-flat"). I would like a CF hood, but it's expensive. Plus, I don't really know how secure/safe it is to have a "plastic" hood, and yes, I know about hood pins. There is a "Raiden" hood on ebay last time I checked (gotta love car parts named after Mortal Kombat characters :p )

:and1: very easy to take on and off.

what is 93 octane?
gas? oil?
lol...ya im dumb
93 octane gas. Is supposedly gonna give u a 10HP boost.

I got a CF hood, the car does feel lighter, a little noticeable, and it makes it look good.

With an auto tranny you are sorta held back on mods that will really make your car all that faster. If you really wanted to get all the HP power from an accord you should have gone with the six speed.

Thats the only thing i regret sometimes, not gettin a six speed.
