i dont believe there are any out for the k24z3 yet.
I'm glad you got your answer, but do you ever bother searching for the availability of the part, not just on the forum, but for example google? I feel that when you ask questions, you just blurt it out w/o doing the heavy lifting (i.e. looking it up from another source). I bet you fudge your book reports too.
I totally agree here! Forums are for helping other and sharing information that others might not know. "Heavy lifting" is it that hard to just reply with what you already know instead of "Hey kid go search the web for the answer"
Willy, i did search and could not find any good information. Its hard to find good technical information on things when they are that new. Best bet is to check out your local tuners and see what they know. I learned alot of information talking with other honda owners and car guys.

modding your cam on an I4 seems silly. so much money for so little power. cost of a typical performance cam, 500-1,000. cost to install, around 500. cost of possible required tune, well no one really tunes this car yet. u'll net less than 20/20 hp/tq.
if you wanted a fast car, you shoulda bought something with more cylinders.

And BTW: You bought the wrong 4 cylinder car to modify. If you really wanted to learn about modifying cars with a 4 cyl, you should have bout a WRX, any non-girly VW 4cyl, maybe even the civic SI, Neon SRT4 ... those cars have an aftermarket following. You got a basic 2dr grocery getter. Time to get that sticker printer paper and print those Mugen stickers.

Omg there is some real dicks on this forum...someone asks a question and then you flame him like no tomorrow.Maybe he likes a 4 over the 6.
yeah, and there's some stupid people too. In real world terms, fuel economy for the I4 and the V6 auto is about the same, according to these forums. When the OP was making his decision to buy a car, i will put my money down that he couldn't muster up the $$$ for the V6 because it can cost anywhere from 3 to 6 thousand dollars more. However, he has enough money to do little things here and there. W/e. I've said this before and i'll say it now, the particular 4cyl engine on the coupe is not really modifiable for at least another year or 2. Furthermore, in order to get decent performance gains that are done safely with longevity in mind will cost more than 6k, when the parts are available. So, just live with your decision or get another vehicle.

op had it bought for him. http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=29423
he also wanted to turbo it and such as discussed in other threads, so he definitely had money to get the v6.
I totally get you! I was 16 once. I understand where this is coming from. But, you gotta put some logic behind what you want. Make your car look awesome, im all for that. But when you talk about engine modification on your car, its a moot point, because there's nothing that can be done. If you wanted a car that performs a little better, you should of gotten a 5 speed to start.
Again, not against modding or anything, it just has to be done right and with a purpose.
Let me ask you, how did you and your parents come up with getting a brand new car for around 20K (+/- 2k) when you could of bought a car that was a 2/3 years old but had aftermarket support?

Well I was not planning on doing after-market stuff until I had already bought the brand new car. After a few months after driving it I decided that I wanted to do a few things to make it better to my liking. I realize that I could have gotten an older car and done alot to it, but I made sort of a bad decision so, trying to make up for it cuz there isn' any going back now. My parents are not letting me do much to it because its brand new and they want it to last me a long time so. I don't know

as of now, and for the rest of eternity, there is nothing you can do to make it noticeably faster without blowing through ass-loads of cash...
dont have to be a baby about it.

Here's my suggestion:
Over the next year or so, save up enough cash (~$5000) and buy an old Nissan 240SX (S13, S14 or S15) with a MT and a bunch of miles on it. Seriously, this car is probably the most aftermarket supported of any car out there, so you won't have any problem finding stuff when the time comes. If you choose to buy it, it will be a great car to learn MT on, as well as some other driving techniques (I've heard it's the best car to learn to drift with). Then you'll have your Accord for casual driving, but if you got a need for speed, you can whip out your 240.
(240SX is just a suggestion. '95 Civic's are heavily aftermarket supported as well.)

here's mine. go to college, get smart, get money, get a fast car by the time ur 25, which is totally where i'm at. i had an 06 GT that would turn ur sh!t white. unfortunately i got an even better job that requires 100+ miles driving per day, and this happened right around $4/gallon gas, so i opted for the V6 honda.
in the meantime, ur I4 is still a hot lookin car. drive it for what it's worth, don't piss any money away on it, and save all ur cash for the car of ur dreams. TRUST ME!
