Has anyone put a v6 into a Civic yet. I had a 2000 Accord sitting next to a "95" Civic coupe today. My tape measure says it would be a tight fit, but it looks to be doable. I'd love to see a kit for it.

h22's put more power down than the v6 dont they?

Kamin

i dont think its possible
and yes, the v6's suck ***.

on top of that the jdm version is the only that comes with a manual tranny.

i believe the 2003 model of the accord V6 will have a 5 spd available... just FYI

Malachi

good, even the honda salesman ive talked to admitted it was retarded not to.

3 words - Not worth it...

As it has been proven time and time again, just cause you have a smaller engine, doesn't mean you can't make power. Look also at the aftermarket support for B series engines... I think SOHC VTEC engines have more support than the Accord V6 engines...

Stick with the 4 cylinder...

I don't think that is would be worth it (after martket support being what it is for Honda V6's) but last year I saw 90 CRX with a Legend Type II motor in it. It was a shoehorn job but I bet the car was pretty quick in a straight line.

Comptech has a super charger kit for the v6 LOL

The CL Type S 6 speed would be nice

I was thinking that myself. I worked on a 2002 TL today and was thinking what a 260 horsepower 3.2 with a six speed would be like. Same external dimensions as the 3.0. How about twin turbos? How about a 3.5 out of an Odysey? It only measures a 1/4 inch longer. How about a 3.5 with turbos?

Why?

Why not just buy a back half kit for a Hatch or CRX and weld up some mounts for an NSX drivetrain? Then it will be rear wheel drive and you can get upgrade parts/bolt on's for the NSX motor.

CLS 6 speed is all i have to say add a supercharger = about 350-400 HP and 300 TQ no 4cly will make that TQ

What I'd really like to do is back half it with a Ford nine inch, small block Chevy and a tube frame. I just don't have the time and patience to for it. And i'm to cheap to pay someone to do it for me.

Ha! Have fun. I don't think anyone's thinking about how much money this is going to cost. This doesn't even sound easy.

I think it's been done in a CRX. I don't remember what engine it was, but it was mounted in the back, and ran 8's.

Also, for those whose want to put a V6 in a Civic, I have one question for you, how do you plan to drive it? The only way i could see this is if you went in a straight line all the time. You see people even having problems driving with a H22 swap, so I don't see the V6 as a daily driver.

Now for the CL Type-S motor supercharged, I wanna see a Stock Supercharged Type-S motor putting down 350-400 hp with 300 ft. lbs. I think too many of us are reading magazines and believing them.

H23 Power

there is a CRX with a NSX motor in the rear....

it does exist

and you can modify the CL-S block to be 3.5L

so how about a supercharged 3.5L CL-S motor

DX Generation

Like JDMB18c Has already said...

Why?

All I'm trying to do is get people to think practical. Sure, any engine can be put in any chassis, with the right amount of money of course - There's a CRX with an Eclipse turbo motor, so what? Put a V6 in, so what? Are you going to be driving that car to Wal-Mart? I don't think so. If it's going to be put in a CRX, then why not put it in a tube frame Hatch? People tend to think that if you put a powerful engine in a tiny car, it's gonna be fast. What they don't realize is how much it takes to make a race car go fast. Put the 3.5 CL-S motor in a CRX and I will show you broken axles...

And to the guy that said 300 ft/lbs couldn't be achieved in a 4 cyl - What do you think the AEM civic puts down? Way more than 300...

Chiovnidca

Why not? Other than the fact there is no substitute for cubic inches.

to heavy of a motor
stick with b-series or h22

there is a crx with a nsx motor in it, its called the CR-NS-X its from georgia they havent run it yet,www.mahdaviamotorsports.com, but I saw the Summit compact drag race in gainsville and They had a V8 twin turbo celica that ran 199.93, the artical says. 63 but i was there, in the 1/4 if it broke 200 mph they would have gotten 20,000 $, its was hella fast check it out, without nitous,http://www.divisionone.org/inside/bulldog/bulldog.html
