Default Acura TL v-6 in EK hatch...

Has anyone ever heard of this being done or actually seen it before?? My friend is saying it can be done and he is supposedly planning on doing it. But I think he is full of sh*t. He says its a TL v-6 with 6 speed and is planning on dropping it into a EK hatch. Help me prove him wrong..

My grandma did that way back in the day, before people even thought of doing something complicated like a B-series swap.

It's easy as pie!

Ask him what he's going to do about the crank pulley rubbing the wheel?

Or just tell him that you are smarter than him because you don't believe in fairy tails like that.

Or just shoot yourself in the face for wasting our time with this whored out retarded subject, i think I have answered this same question 5 times in the past year or so of honda-teching.

I think he probably meant 1.8t. The vr6 cannot change so abruptly as a turbo motor can.

I'm a fan of the vr6, I will admit.

Power is Power. Traction is a problem in any FWD with substantial power. Correct me if i am wrong. An H22 then theoretically, would give you similar problems modded over 230-240 hp???
