You can buy aftermarket cams for most hondas.

But you will need to get it dyno tuned and buy a system like Hondata to tune it.
Which is expensive.

You could possibly drop an accord type R engine in, or a prelude H22A

You're absolutely wasting your money on trying to tune the 1.8 in an Accord. It was never designed for power and aftermarket tuners don't really do anything of note for it.

Your only real choice to make decent power in that bodyshell is to buy an H series 2.2 from either an Accord Type-R or Prelude and go from there. There are many more bits available for those engines.
