I have a 2007 Honda Accord (previous generation) with a 2.0 petrol engine.
I would like to boost it significantly, I read a few things and it seems the best way (and only legal) way is to do an engine swap with a bigger engine.

1) Where should I go to find the engine in Cyprus? (I saw 2.4 Honda engines online for around 2000 Euro on Ebay, without postage).
2) What's the exact procedure to do this (legal wise). I know it have to apply for it in the road department
3) How much will labor cost???
4) Is there something else I can do (like boost the current engine) while still legal and not super expensive?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Get it the electronic module that govern engine performance re-mapped to boost bhp, you can typically get 10-20% more mid and top-end power ... there is a chap in CY that does it. If you're interested will try and find a contact.

What for... so you can drive wild and get killed?

YEs, I'm interested even though I don't think this works for my car..
thanks.

DOn't worry get real, u can drive wild and get killed on a slow car too (or even on a bicycle..).
I just feel this car is too heavy for this engine..

Try these two.

Don't know them... so make your own judgement on their suitability. Can tell you that they are both franchisees of a GB re-mapping outfit. The files for your car will be programmed in GB and sent to them for input through a laptop through your car's diagnostics port. Cost in GB, about £300.

Tell them what you want to achieve, the files are custom-made for each car and customer... and come to an arrangement for a re-working or a reset to original if you ain't happy.

Modern car engines are controlled through a chip. It's a re-programmable chip.

When cars in Europe leave the factory they are programmed for average performances in average conditions, average temperatures for instance... so a car made in say Germany is programmed for average German driving on average German Autobahns and German temperatures ... and not the heat of a CY summer or on CY mountain roads.

It's a about optimising a car engine for your style of driving and the local conditions where you drive.

Then give it a dyno tune to bring back its original power and more.

That's what the Goblin already posted.

Yes but it’s done differently. Buy a good sized sledge hammer and I’ll show you.
