Your question is too general. Please be more specific when you ask questions like this one. You spend money you get more power. You leave it stock and you get what you paid for.

how much would it cost to get 350whp and how reliable would it be for a daily driver...?

For 350whp, you're defintely gonna have to open up your wallet. You'll need at least a T3/T04 turbo stage III or better, a re-mapped or chipped ecu, at least 600cc or better injectors and more than like a better AFM. Price-wise, you're looking at around $1500.00 fro these items not to include installation.

I've gotten more than 350hp out of a stock CA, but I'm going to take my stock CA as far as it'll go laetr this week at the dyno, so I guess we'll see soon enough.

have you ever driven a 300whp 240sx? by that face i'm going to guess no... i'm going to continue speculating you've never driven any sort of fast car because you obviously don't know how much horsepower you're talking about! 350whp is insane for a daily driven street car dude! i can almost guarentee you'd be more than happy with 250whp and you can get that for less than half the cost of 350whp.

hp growth = exponential money growth! just my thoughts. don't take offense...

driving a decently powered rwd car is ALOT different than a high powered fwd car. let me know when you hit boost in a corner and you put it in the wall or ditch...i'll need some parts from you

and by don't take offense I meant... don't get all butt hurt like you did

again, go drive a 300whp s13 and tell me you honestly need more out of a street car. and i'm glad your honda made "400whp" congratulations! i'd like to see some pictures or dyno charts as well as a spec sheet as that sounds like a pretty bada$$ car/motor.

Hmmm, sounds amazing that your accord makes 400whp @ 15psi of boost. I have friends with fully built high powered KA24DET monsters in excess of 600whp that are not putting down 400whp at 15psi. Maybe 3 and some change, but not 400whp. But if you have that much hp out of a honda accord for crying out loud, I'm like Sean on this one; show me some dyno slips, track times and some video of this accord with this engine to support this claim. And most people on this forum don't really know each other in person, but there are a few on here that do know B>S> when it's being spat. I'm not doubting you, but I would love to see this myself.

That's exactly what I plan to do. I'm a bit hung-over now, so my appointment at the dyno will have to moved back a bit because I do not want to hear some freakn' car's engine screaming like a banshee right now .

http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1069470519, pump gas, 14psi through a GT40S. Boost is just a number. Complete RH kit, or has the turbo been swapped?

It's not for everyone, just highlighting what can be done with a small motor on pump, quite impressive. Easy 700+ on good fuel and you wont ever be down low enough to suffer through it on a track
