Hey whats goin on guys, i just bought a 97 2.8 quattro 5 speed. I love the thing, its got a lowered german racing suspension, short throw, intake, deleted res with true dual delta flow 44 and the most amazing momo racing seats. I had a 95 accord before this but i killed it racing. ive been into cars for a while, my accord had 300 hpw before i killed it which is pretty good considering everything was done by me. It had i/e/h, short throw, bored tb, h22 head swap, f23 intake man, centerforce clutch, and Jspec tuned Ecu. My audi is slower but i like it a lot, im looking at getting a tap chip, and eventually boost it. I have some crazy idea's about doing a twin turbo, with the way the V engine is facing it would be perfect minus the weak internals. Its gota stronghead but weak bottom, if i swaped theS4 bottom it couldwork, I think. But thatsjust a fantasy for now.Me and my cousin are hopefully gonna open a performance shop with in the next couple months and we are both gonna take out loans for the business and our cars. We figure that way if the shop doesnt go over well and we fail atleast we got fast cars.

 

Welcome to the forum. Though it is a nice car, the 12valve is slow and difficult to mod. Honestly you should of gotten a 1.8T because the aftermarket scene is huge, just a $500 chip alone will walk your 12v. Even better an S4 because it has a biturbo V6 with ridiculous hp potential. Since you're no stranger to performance tuning the 12valve could be a nice project, just know that it will be expensive and the gains won't be worth it in my opinion. Check out the A4 section, lots of useful info there.

 

so i've heard lol, there really isnt much out there for the 2.8 but i guess thatswhy im so hyped about it. With my accord everyone did a h22 prelude swapwhen idid asingle cam to dual cam swap just to show everyone you didnt have toswap. So hopefully ill figuresomethingcrazy to do with my 2.8, otherwisefor now im just enjoying the ride.

 

300 hp? bullsh*t. prove it, show me a dyno chart. I'll never post here again if you can show me a dyno chart proving that your accord, with those mods, put down 300 hp.

 

welcome, and if you find a moderate wayof increasing the 12v power, please, please, Please share it with us other 12v'ers,
