If you have the f23 (which you do), and its 5 speed, boost it. 8-10 pounds will have you knocking on the door of 350-400whp with matching torque.

It depends on how much swag you want

X2 on turboing your existing F, if your budget allows. Their long stroke nature makes for a very fun & torquey powerband. Not to mention, you don't see too many of them running around here on boost.

Swag? Would you like me to change the thread title to "swap" instead...?

the only problem is the engine is real old close to 260k

You could swap in a lower mileage or rebuilt engine, then go from there. An engine swap doesn't have to mean a different engine..

you can get a f22/23 motor/trans combo for less than a grand from most reputable sources. if i ever get another accord, i will boost it. the h22 head is a direct replacement also, though the gains would be minimal and not worth the hassle imo.
