As you may all tell I've been a loyal integra driver since 02 and now it's time to let her go.

Its the new, direct-injection 4-cylinder engine. Almost 200 hp and 35+ mpg in a midsize car is nothing to sneeze at.

Any year V6 with the 6MT. The autos will fail.
03-04 have some issues with the radio backlight going out. Watch for that. Otherwise they are all good. The 03-07 V6 with 6MT can now use hondata flashpro. No other accord can as of yet.

The V6 2003-05 is the best IMO.
240crank hp stock, and with flow mods (removal of several of the cats), you'l get alot more out of it.
superchargerable to 400hp, without spending way too much. Stock block/head handles it nicely. You could get more out of it, IV seen numbers in the 700s, but even the 6speed wont handle that for very long. You would need to get straight cut gears, upgraded syncos, pretty much gotta beef up the trans if you want serious ****** power.
the automatic cant even handle the 240 stock HP lol

Currently, that's only for the 03-07 6-6 with Hondata Flashpro-TL ECU- Harness. Has something been created for the 08+ 6-6? If so that's great news.
I'm getting tuned Saturday. I have CAI, 3.7 TB, 3.7IM, RV6 V3 (catless) J-pipe, Borla cat-back exhaust.
I still need to buy the PCD, get a 4inch intake, and have the intake runners ported/polished. I'll get re-tuned after those parts are installed. As it sits unturned the car has transformed greatly. These motors LOVE to breathe.

I love the 300whp with breather mods lol. I wish I had a 6-6 instead of the auto. Getting Paul to do wiring and computer hacking **** once I sell my black EJ2 b swapped turbo in a year or two. I hope he lets me install the trans myself lol, save me some money for the TL computer so I can properly hondata and supercharge it
how bout DAT trans upgrades doe? Or should I check acurazine. I haven't been keeping up in over 2 years, got bored with the car since I can only drive it a few dozen miles week

The trans are virtually the same besides the LSD in the TL. I'm planning on buying the LSD from the dealership, having it installed along with a new clutch and axles while I'm at it. That won't be until next winter though.
Join 7thgenaccords on FB, there are a few people selling 6-6 on there cheap if you don't want to do a swap. Acurazine is also a great place for info on these cars as well as V6performance.

Been on v6 for a long time. I used to read acurazine once in a while, but I'm playing with my dum civics now.
I might buy a 6-6 coupe and part out the sedan/keep **** for spare parts. My engine is perfect besides a slight valve tap, so I could theoretically work the v6 in the coupe, and find the limit, and if I blow it up I got a perfect low mileage(lol for a Honda) engine to use. I know they're only 600$ but the damn service intervals and **** so many of em burn oil. I dont see a point in building the block unless I get a 3.2 and stroke it.
I do like the sedan better though. Maybe I'm just impartial, but I think its hawt. I really should look into a coupe though. It'd be way ****** cheaper... Prolly gonna be 4g for the trans swap alone. Plus 300$ for a front subframe/wishbones. And a hood/fender/door/trunk/bumper covers... I do like my car though. Cuz its already mine lol
