What's up guys,

I'm new to imports - just bought my '04 Accord V6 about a year ago. I couldn't be more happy with it, except for some more power. So I was thinking about spraying my Accord. My question is: is the 3.0 V6 strong enough to handle a 100 shot - wet (and tuned, of course)? It would be an NX kit, so high quality. Car is completely bone stock.

BTW: Before the Accord, I had an '02 SS Camaro: intake/lt headers/straight exhaust/cam/nitrous, putting out 500rwhp and 600lb-ft, so I'm no nitrous/performance newbie. Just don't know about the strength of these stock Honda motors!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

The j30 (3.0 V6) in your Accord is a great motor but a 100 shot might be overdoing it. IMHO I'd be more worried about the trans since Honda has had quite a few problems with all the J series auto transmissions. Id get a 50-75 shot and change the trans fluid every other oil change. My .02.

 

if its a manual trans then u shouldnt have any probs, motor should be able to handle 100shot with the supporting fuel mods

 

There are no manual trans 04 Accord v6's. Only the 06 model can be had with a manual trans(6spd).

 

Yep, you can get a 6-speed, at least in '05 (cause I was looking at one before I bought my '04), not sure about '04, but I think there was a 6-speed then too.

Anyways, it's the automatic. Is the atomatic transmission just weak? I also don't plan on using the car like a drag car: stalling at the line and launching hard. I plan on using the nitrous from a roll, and definitely spraying from about 4,500rpm and up.

I'm happy to find that my motor will probably be alright if the nitrous is done right, at least.
