Alright hears the deal. I'm thinking about going all out AEM intake, P2R ported intake runners and magnaflow catback exhaust. First of will my car handle it? second will I need to upgrade the fuel system to keep up? ANYthing else I need to open up to let this puppy breath?

I doubt you actually have to upgrade the fuel system for those minor mods. But I would think that you would have to tune the car since now you have a lot more air flow running through. So you would run right ( not to lean or rich)

You won't need a new fuel pump, rail, or injectors. The AEM should be capable of installation without changing the A/F enough to require a tune. The P2R intake runners, I can't speak for. They shouldn't make too large of a difference, but don't quote me on it. If requiring a re-tune, you would need a piggyback ECU as there is no programmable designed for the Accord yet.

My guess is nothing needs to be changed to be able to run though.

You should install just the p2r (Ported intake runners) first so we can see what kind of gain they give you. I am curious about what these will do 4 us.

has anyone installed ported intake runners on another car? are the gains just similar to an intake?

whats the point of installing all the parts and not tuning it? but im sure a fuel management isn't needed at this point with those mods. but highly reccomend tuning once the mods keep comming. it connects all the pieces for true HP with a nice powerband.

I figured I would benefit from a tune after the mods, speaking of which anybody know of a good shop to do the tune in my area? Columbus OH

In general, porting the intake will do zilch in comparison to porting and polishing the heads. Since you seem to be willing to throw down $$ for the mods, I would look into getting the heads and runners p&p'ed at a shop, and maybe get the heads shaved for a slight boost in compression as well if you're looking for a sincere boost in power. After it's all said and done you will definitely want a tune, but I doubt you'll need bigger injectors.
