Strange Ideas for my 93 Accord

notyouraveragegirl · 02-04-2005, 09:43 PM

Ok... Wierd question of the week

Does anyone know of a 3.0L V6 VTec swap being done to a gen4 accord?

Let me know -- and don't tell me how crazy I am or whatever -- I want some no BS-answers... ...no one to tell me "it can't be done" cause that'll just make me want to prove you wrong : )

Also -- anyone interested in the project in the SoCali area... feel free to reply or drop me a line via eMail

that would be a nice swap

I'm assuming you are talking about the engine in the 2003 (240hp)...any swap can be done, some just take more patience and money then others...i'm not very familiar on the swaps for accords, i do know that engines from accords 98-03 fit perfectly..so your probably looking at a lot of modding inside the bay to get this to work cause you'll probably be a little snug inside the bay with the v6...in that case you would probably be taking out the AC, and maybe rewiring...also the engine is probably heavier so you might have to do suspension work, just to adjust to the extra weight

but that would be a beast if you got it done, and if i was in the cali area, i'd definitely join in on the fun

...sounds like an interesting project, never seen it done before, so if you did it you'd probably be the first

anyways good luck with it...i say go for it, if you got the cash and the time, nothing should stop you from doing it! Good luck, and let me know if you go for it or not..that way i can drool and throw a tantrum

The v6 is coming out of the hubby's 98 LX just as soon as we find a 3.5RL to swap into his (hah - another conversion that i don't think has been done yet)

The a/c compressor has been broken since i got the car @ auction in november - and the suspension has been out anyway -- so those are two things we have already figured into the equation

so if you happen to know of anyone with a wrecked 3.5RL sitting around... well i'd like to get a jump on this before they ship my poor sailor of a husband off to the gulf this summer

i did a quick search on ebay and i found a 96-01 rl engine, 3.5 they only want 750 plus shipping....not sure if that was the one u wanted or not, but i'd keep checking ebay for motors, they usually have them for pretty cheap

: my friend got one of the ebay and it's in great shape. hope this helps

actually 750 is really cheap and if it's the same guy - most of the one's they sell are JDM so they don't have a lot of miles on them (As A side note: By law in Japan, if you keep a car for longer than 35k miles, unless you are us military, you get stuck with all kinds of taxes; so most people just sell their cars and those barely broken in motors end up over here for CHEAP!!)

-- but after doing some research we're gonna go with anoth J block instead of a C block... so we're looking for the J35A4 out of the MDX... SOHC Vtec V6 - its a 240 bhp + all the killer torque you get from an suv motor
