Re: V6 CIVIC (killer1320)
It's been done before and unless you have some serious cash to drop ($10,000-$20,000) you aren't going to get it done. Even if you did have the cash you would need to fork it all over and wait for some master fabricator to put it together. If you want a V6, buy a new accord and strip it.
Otherwise do an h,b,f series swap and call it a day.

You can spend way less, and have something a little more reliable and still run 12's (hint: K20A)

Weak? Realistic is more like it. And dropping a V6 into a Civic is just not very realistic. While it can be done, it is not something the average guy with a cherry picker can do. Civics have rather small engine bays and just can't easily accommodate a drivetrain of this kind of size. Now in all honesty, it would probably be easier to accommodate a V6 in the rear. But either way, such a swap is going to require MAJOR fabrication. And this costs BIG bucks.

240hp 215tq can be easily accomplished/surpassed with any number of honda 4 cylinder motors. This is highly preferable to shoehorning in a V6 that is only so-so to begin with.
It is not that we are weak or have no faith, we would just rather make more power for less money with a lighter motor that bolts in pretty easily. You are obviously pretty clueless when it comes to Hondas, so don't go calling people names.
to think that some people complain about H series being too heavy

There are many more cost effective ways to get the power you are looking for. 12's have been accomplished by sohc's and dohc's 4 cyl. a long time ago....both NA and turbo.
Not weak, just smart.

Re: V6 CIVIC (99exd16y8)
Hey jack *** your assume alot first thing is I'm not 16 to be spending my parents money I work for my own **** you dumb door ****.I already have a street civic that runs low 13s all day long and a race car that does 10s n.a. check my site-atracing.ca.As for a d series that runs 12s sure its been done but how realiable is it for every day driving and of course the car was stripped to run 12s.As for all the other people that responded i'm not looking for your opinion on what I want to do just some tech help.I do most of the labour on my cars so I am not going to be spending alot of cash.One last thing on b,h, or k series there all good for upgrading but if you also upgrade a C or J series the potential is alot more power simply because theres no replacement for displacement.

Who the hell? If you really had those cars, you'd know a V6 civic is just stupid. There's almost no aftermarket support for the V6 honda motors unless its a C32B, if you know what that is. And in case you haven't noticed, honda tends to have this thing about making powerful 4cyls...

damn you sure are going to get a lot of tech help from people when you call them "jack ***".....your right that you could get a whole lot of power from those engines, but realistically every honda engine has more potential than you will ever use.......but im a jackass so ill not talk lol

Re: V6 CIVIC (B18TurboEF)
i also thought it was funny that at 14 posts you claim you are THE HONDA-TECH......and are arguing with people that actually have knowledge of hondas, and have a horrible point

Re: V6 CIVIC (killer1320)
First of all...you need to calm down.
Calling people jackass isnt going to get you anywhere.
I would equate putting a v6 into a car meant for a 4cylinder in the same realm as inter-species relationships...you either get:
A.) No viable offspring (i.e. a very expensive paperweight)
B.) If it does actually work; you get something fucked up and retarded that will probably die within a week anyways.
There are not too many aftermarket parts for honda v-6s; fabrication of motormounts is going to expensive if done elsewhere or a pain in the *** if done by yourself; dont know if it physically fits inside of a ek / eg engine bay both height and width wise.
You are very mistaken if you think that "there is no replacement for displacement".
The hasport k24/k20a JRSC'd track-db4 is my proof. 370whp at just 6psi.
Or the several turbo b18c1 powered cars on honda-tech putting out 300-340+whp.
If you actually get it done and put up pics then
But if nothing happens; i told you so doesnt quite say it.
EDIT: Maybe you should ask this guy some questions:

Wrong. What if you turboed a V6? (see Steph Papadakis' Pro RWD car) There's still no replacement for displacement.
Killer1320 still sounds stupid though. If he is the racer he claims to be, he would realize that he needs to fab just about everything himself, including a RWD setup. He definitely wouldn't come on here asking for pointers. If you are not willing to do all types of creative custom work, you got no business trying to build a V6 civic.

Jack *** is one thing, but dumb door ****, that's just cold. You definitely talk like a 16 year old...
There is no replacement for displacement, when all else is equal. V6>4cylinder any day of the week, but you can make 2x (at least) the power of the v6 with a turbo 4 cylinder for well under 1/2 the cost, and in 1/4 the time. He'll figure it out.
Mods, time to lock the thread?

I don't think I ever called anybody a "dumb door ****" . What the **** is that anyway?

Re: V6 CIVIC (xthephilx)
you didn't call anyone that. that was killer's post. I have no idea what it is either, sounds like something a little kid would call someone when they get mad to me.

Didn't say it was you. I saw killer saying that...my comment was directed toward him. Reminds me of the time my mom called me a doodyhead.

Re: V6 CIVIC (xthephilx)
Anything is possible....it just takes the time and money. Your swap is not cost efficient and the time and number of parts that would have to be fabricated is enormous. That is what everyone is trying to tell you.
You, however, seem to know more about Honda's than anyone else on this board, with your 14 ALMIGHTY posts. Go do it. You say you want help, and then call people names? That attitude will get you real far in life. You say you're not 16? Stop acting like it then.
