build it... VTEC IS A NA application if u want a turbo get a non vtech u will be alot happyer... start with the bottom end... rings pistons crank get them all forged and ready to go... next top end... Skunk2 stage 2 racing cams will give u a desent lope and still be just barely streetable... headers... u can get the ones for any accord 03+ sedan or coupe doesent matter... intake... CAI whatever u want i recomend keeping the stock intake all the way up to the air box then going from there with either a custom or whatever pipe theres alot of sensors on our intake so its not cheap to make... if ur gunna be building a beast... stroke it pull it up to a 11:1 ratio (shaved heads shaved block dished out heads and pistons always remember to do that cuz when vtec hits in our cars it wouldent be pretty if the valve slamed into the piston... no no no) u can run a 100 shot of n2o easy enough and definately wouldent have a hard time with anything but cash... o yeh lighten everything flywheel pullys get a better altenator and run a underdrive pully... sooo much stuff u can do o yeh port and polish everything and maby even look into a skunk2 multi staged air intake and a cat back exaust... if u have to smog run a high flow cat if not run a EBAY high flow

also a A2 head off a TRX or a JDM k20A3 head off a integra R might work well

more low end power vtec is for gas economy if you want power you can only get so much out of a vtec cam, and dynos show that changing it to a non vtec cam increases low end hp and torque

I thought the low cam was for lower rpms that would normally used during cruise speed. And the high cam is for higher rpms, to make good power.

vtec is all about changing ur cams... these arent racing engines (yet) vtec engine is a very weak truely powerless engine untill it hits vtec (or in the case of Ivtec when u mash it) they push maby 100 hp and 100ish foot pounds, what vtec does it totaly recams the engine... the timing advances the valves open more more air more fuel more powerfull spark bigger explosion. thats why our cars dont feel very ballsy driving around but if u stand on it u get pushed back into ur seat... ... the variable cams is why that its not a good turbo application... Vtec runs the engine way way way weird and when it kicks in specialy I Vtec anyway it just doesent apply well to turbos and they get a little screwy and dont boost right... truely if we want power... non Tec turbo or Non turbo tec will push the most power barnone...
