  • No one does a high revving naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine like Honda. The VTEC sound, 7, 8 or even 9,000rpm redline and phenomenal induction noise is addictive. But what happens when you take one of the most legendary Honda engines, the K20, and bolt a Garret turbocharger to it?

    I've been repairing a crash damaged CL9 as a first year Apprentice Mechanic for the past a couple of weeks and i've been watching your channel to gain ideas on how i can better my Accord Euro. Your Accords are insane.

    • @KiwiCarLife
      @KiwiCarLife  Před 3 měsíci +6

      Ooh that'll be a great project, I'd start with getting it mint in stock contition first, then get headers, tune, intake and exhaust. I'm sure you'll be happy with that and if you want more, just buy a faster car

      @LieutenantNuggets Před 3 měsíci +4

      @@KiwiCarLife I'm about 80% the way to repairing it to stock and then will be modding it from there. I bought the CL9 because I've always loved the styling of it, not for it's speed so that is an added bonus

    It’s not a true DeeMo Deejay reference until you’re bouncing it off the rev limiter every single shift like it’s going out of style and yelling at the top of your lungs (we wanna see it). Oh my days that Accord looks and sounds absolutely bonkers

  • @Callum027
    @Callum027 Před 3 měsíci +9

    The fact that you can double the power and still have it not just handle, but handle well, is a testament to how well engineered the Accord is.

    You in my old stomping ground, big o'l Waipuk. I recognized those country roads, done many a thrashing out those ways in my Honda's in the past.
