Default v6 integra?

ok i know this sounds crazy and whacked out... but is it probable? i know its possible bec anything is possible if you got the $$$.
me and my cousin were just talking about crazy stuff people have done and about k20/k24 swaps and we came to has anyone put a v6 in an integra? like a cl or tl or rl, i know one of those has a v6 or all idk. but just wondering if anyone has heard of something like this?

please no flaming or rude critizism. i know its a weird. im not considering it. just wondering what other people think and its just something to think about thats different.

With the availability and ease of K swaps, there's no reason to swap a 6cyl unless you're just trying to be different. You dont really stand to gain a lot by swapping the 6. It is possible, but again your options are limited because only a handful come with a manual tranny.

In short, it can be done, but there are better options available.

i just figured it would be cheaper than a k swap bec there older and not really in demand. go grab one from a junk yard or something

You still have to figure out how to mount it, where to get a complete wiring harness, shift linkage, etc...if you can get the engine/tranny/ecu cheap and fab the rest yourself, you might have a good thing going.

Similarly, if you can get a K24 out of a CRV cheaply, you'd be almost better off cost-wise.

He had to move the firewall back 2in.

The new accord v6 6spd swap would be pretty crazy if you could get it to work in a teg.

I disagree. The V6 has torque....and CRAZY power potential. I'm not a boost guy, but imagine a turbo NSX motor.....nevermind it's FWD.

You could have a cool dyno queen, I guess.
