    Manuel (unless you tune your auto ecu for a race set up). hell yeah, that accord can handle a turbo. good luck with your project, accords are awesome.

    yes you can, but i would take it to a garage, because its tricky with the vtec compression ratios, i would reccomend a greddy turbo kit as these are easier to fit to most hondas

    A turbo manual because the turbo will mess up a automatic
    tranmission.

    There all a waste on a Honda.

    manual transmission is still the best for me.

    Manual transmission better. Honda Accord 03 V6 can have turbo. It Honda, that all that do matter. Honda do rock!!!!! Never no problem with Accord.

    Defintely manual transmission. Yeah you can put a turbo on the accord

    Regardless of turbos, it’s always better to have a manual
    Yes, you can put a turbo on a V6 auto Accord. Watch out for that torque steer now.
    Edit: Come on now, you know what I meant. Manuals let you feel more in control of the car. Yes, some autos are faster than manuals, look at the 997 911 GT3. It’s 0-60 in auto is 3.8 secs, while the manual is 4.0 (MotorTrend). So the question is, is an auto turbo Accord faster than a manual?

    Any car feels better with a manual box. Since your looking at going the turbo path, I would look a little closer than just besides transmission options. There are other things to consider etc. Engine internals such as pistons and cams. Are they up to the task? The cost involved with getting the turbo fitted along with compression ratios being ticked with, possible custom made turbo manifold, don’t forget the after market engine management system $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Would make for a pretty fun car….Even though it’s a FWD

    Chigga, WRONG! Some turbos are faster in automatic than manual, for example the Supra. This is because the turbo is always at boost, as opposed to going through lag as you shift through gears on an manual transmission. I’d get a manual anyway because it feels wrong driving an automatic sportscar. Sure, you can turbo any car. But is it worth it to turbo an Accord? I don’t think that motor will reliably take much boost.

    Why on earth would you want to turbo-charge an old accord?
