For those seeking a deeper and more visceral experience, a performance camshaft is a transformative modification. One builder on the Honda-Tech forums noted that installing a Delta 272 cam was one of his all-time favorite modifications, specifically citing the unique and aggressive idle sound it gave his CB7. This upgrade often necessitates supporting modifications like an upgraded intake manifold from an H23 engine, which features larger dual runners for improved top-end power, a high-performance exhaust header like the discontinued Comptech header, and a custom engine tune.

The desire for more dramatic power leads many down the path of forced induction. The CB7 engine bay is surprisingly accommodating for a turbocharger, making it a popular route for builders. While piecing together a custom kit is common—using parts like a DSM 14b turbo and 450cc injectors—whole entry-level turbo kits for the F22A engine are now available, including intercoolers and universal piping. However, the community strongly advises against using eBay brands for the core turbo components themselves, such as the turbocharger, wastegate, and engine management systems, recommending that builders invest in reliable parts to avoid catastrophic engine failure.

To understand the CB7’s cult status, one must first appreciate its paradoxical origins. Unlike the double-wishbone frenzy of the contemporary Civic or Integra, the CB7 Accord was designed as a comfortable, reliable commuter. Its chassis, however, told a different story. Honda endowed this generation with a fully independent double-wishbone suspension at all four corners—a layout typically reserved for exotic Italian sports cars. This geometry, combined with a low center of gravity and a near-perfect 60/40 weight distribution, created a blank canvas of immense potential. A rare factory-option trash bin that clips onto
