So if anyone knows of any products that are on the market that are not listed here, please feel free to post them. I will edit my first post as this list grows so that they can all be seen in one place, to make it a little easier. Like some of you, I am not content with the Elements power, and I want more, so hopefully, we can help each other out in this thread by making it easier for us to find what we are looking for.

There are tons of companies that make accessories that are pretty much universal to the Honda line. Companies like GReddy, Tenzo, Mugen, Injen, Spoon Sports, etc...all have oil caps and radiator caps that fit on the Element, as well as many other things. However, once the novelty of these first steps wears off, some of us are left with the desire for more power...even if it is only a little bit. So if you find something new, please, by all means, post up here so we can all see. Thanks guys!!!

(PLEASE NOTE) don't use this thread as a debate thread as to whether or not performance modifications are worth it for the Element. Use the existing threads to complain if you don't like us upgrading our own vehicles, please. Thanks!

DC Sports has a 4-2-1 for the 03 Accord 4-cyl...

Eston, does it fit? If it fits, I will buy it right now, seriously...

I don't know. Options has it. I considered buying it, but hey, you're a DC dealer... you try it, and restock it if it doesn't.

The TSX has a 200hp K24 engine w/ 6 speed manual

The Element has a 160hp K24 engine w/ 5 speed manual

The Element Studio E has a 200hp w/6 speed manual

Of course you can't do the 6 speed with AWD probably...

There are parts for the TSX and Accord out already for the K24 engine. They just probably don't fit the engine bay of the Element, but it implies there isn't much more to do before we see similiar parts for the element.

People used to talk about taking a K20 head from an RSX-S and putting it on the K24, but now you could take the K24 head from a TSX and put on an Element... Using the cams from the TSX, and other engine parts to beef up the Element would probably work well, and an Apex iVTEC controller. This would increase the HP and the compression, so you wouldn't want to turbo it later probably...

I'm going to contact GReddy, DC, and a few other companies to see if they have test fitted any of these components onto an Element before...

I understand this thread is for E upgrades but seeing the RSX head swap suggestion, check this out... not sure it is a great idea for our E's:

RSX (K20A2) Head Swap: Ref. April/May Honda Tuning, K series engine family, including the CR-V's K24A1 and the RSX Type S's K20A2.

CRV Excerpt: Following the logic of Honda's engine codes, the K24A1 is a 2.4-liter version of the K series. Following a philosophy similar to the B20 found in the previous CR-V, it's tuned to be a torque monster with a long, 99 mm stroke. That's a full 13 mm (0.51-in.) longer than any of the K20 engines. The extreme stroke works. With 162 lb-ft available at a low 3600 rpm, the CR-V is a veritable stump puller among small four-cylinder SUVs.....


...Frankenstein Returns?
The K24A is more closely related to the K20A3 and K20A. While it uses the same i-VTEC tuning as those engines, it's the long stroke design that's intriguing. The difference is in the block. The K24's deck height is roughly 19 mm higher than its smaller siblings. It's also slightly bored, with 1 mm larger cylinders. The compression ratio is also down slightly from the non-Type S engines, 9.6:1 vs. 9.8:1. So what? Well, the natural temptation is to throw the K20A2's efficient head onto the K24A1 block, raise the redline and have a torquey, ultra-powerful i-VTEC stroker Frankenstein monster engine.

The actual bolting on part wouldn't be too difficult, as the heads should mount right up. However, you do run into an issue with piston speed. At its 7900-rpm redline, the K20A2 in the Type S has a piston speed of 4464 feet per minute (fpm). Thanks to its long stroke, the K24A1 comes close to that, running at 4225 fpm at its much lower redline of 6500 rpm. By the time you've spun your K24 up to just 6900 rpm, you're already at 4485 fpm, and at the 7900 rpm redline of the K20A2, you're at a crazy 5135 fpm. For comparison, even the hyperkinetic S2000 with its 9000 rpm redline doesn't exceed 5000 fpm (it maxes out at 4965 fpm). And the Integra's B18C1 only reached 4573 fpm. Translation: If you're going to plunk a K20A2 head on a K24A1 block and redline the concoction to 7900 rpm without seriously building up the bottom end...duck.
