I own a 2005 Honda Accord LX-SE V6. It has an automatic tranny. I'm looking for any kind of forced induction for this car. I prefer a bolt on kit since it comes with a piggyback ECU and everything else that is required. I have the basics on it: AEM V2 Intake and Magnaflow Dual Exhaust. I want more power! I was wondering if anyone knew any forced induction bolt on kits, preferably a turbo kit. I checked Greddy and came out unsuccessful. Also, the FWD is killing me. I am a drifter and previously owned a 97 Nissan 240SX until my drunk cousin "borrowed" it and crashed it. I know FWD is capable of doing drifts that aren't just e-brake sliding, but it will never get the same angle of a RWD. Which is my next question to you Honda experts. Is it possible to convert to RWD? I've heard of the Honda Civic drag car that is RWD. I'm not into drag racing so I don't know if this is true. But how was it possible? Last is a question about my tranny. I was wondering how hard is it to swap a 6-speed 05 Accord tranny into my car, or swap it into a SMT unit from another car equipped with SMT such as the Toyota MRS or BMW Z4. I know all the things I want is ridiculous and is probably more expensive than a brand new car, but I love the body on my accord. I couldn't afford it right away either. I plan to do these mods one by one probably over a long period of time. It's not a definite set plan. I was just wondering if its possible to do any of my questions. This is why I came to the Honda experts, you guys. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

 

converting it to RWD will cost you more money than buying a brand new 350z, s2000, etc... hell, probably a BMW.

think about it, you would need to invert the engine; and there is not the room in the accord to rotate it, etc. Mostly impossible.



think about why the S2000 has such a long front end (that and the fact that it sits back a bit for a better weight distrobution.)

speaking of weight distrobution... think about that one too.

 

You can do anything with enough money. But unless you can find a RWD transmission that will bolt to your engine, then no, you can't convert to rwd(at least not with your current engine).

 

no. you cannot make a bannana into an orange...so dont try to make your FWD car RWD. its not that simple

 

1-Welcome to the forum
2-Why did you buy a FWD if you wanna still drift?
3-When you say you were a drifter before, do you mean you were an actual drifter or a ricer drifter? You know, the clowns doing **** on the streets?
4-If they don't make a bolt-on turbo then go custom, it's not that bad, in some cases it can be cheaper than a bolt-on
5-As an ex "drifter" you should know the importance of a body and suspension set-up in order to execute a properly controlled drift.
5-Google is your best friend until you have enough posts to search

I almost fell outta my chair laughing when I read that.... lol. Well said!!!

 

Look at the 3.2 CL-S 6spd. I know there is someone around here who was going to do the 3.5L swap into their 6th gen. (is it yeumaumai?). I don't know what other cars have J-series engines besides the TL and CL.

If you want RWD sell your accord and get a RWD car.

If you want a cheap turbo, look into the new RDX coming out, that might be able to bolt-on.

 

If you had the mechanical skills combined with welding, body work and customizing skills, it would be a fun and hard work project.
It could be possible, but the money would have to talk real "loud" this time, and so... you would end up spending more than 10k easily, maybe 20k. Although it would cost so much, you would know for sure that there would not be many rear wheel drive accords around right?!

 

what would u wanna do that to a new accord?? if u want foreced induction and rwd, why didnt u get one of those turbocharged cars instead of accord?

 

Maybe cause he's an idiot.

you really dont get it, do you. working on a honda chasis isnt like those douche tools you see on American Hotrod. its not just a matter of slaping a dana 60 rear end between the frame rails and dropping a body on top. the accord is not designed for RWD. there is no transmission tunnel. there is no cut out for a drive shaft. the gas tank gets in the way of the would-be axles. you would need to custom make mounts for the entire drive line. you would have to reconfigure the entire rear end suspension.

yes, it could be done. $10k? maybe if you can design and fabricate every part on your own -which is unlikely. frankley, you are looking at at least that much JUST in parts...hell, probably jsut in the rear end and the drive shaft.

when you see a "rwd" civic, its nto actualy a civic....just a fiberglass body on top of a tube frame. yes, there have been a few RWD del sol's, and one or two AWD ITRs...but the del sols used a mid engine setup, adn the del soles used a b20 transfer case (and the axles are so small they could fit underneath the car)

I can do it for you ----- it may look just a tad different and the badges may get smeared but I think in the end youll like it --- this is a picture of the last 2005 Accord RWD Turbo I built for a friend of mine --- his girlfriend LOVES the new look too --- custom body kit for the accord --- I'll only charge you your donor accord and 25K for the job --- those are HT homie hookup prices too --- just so you know

 

damn thats a hella good job.. sign me up.. rofl..

i did rwd swap too. I was doing a 5lugs swap but i think, might as well change it to RWD.

RESULT:



on the serious note:

let's break it down for you.

RWD swap: no oem part will bolt on, no transmission, no differenial, no knuckle no nothing. Might as well put a LS v8 and whole drive line because it would be running the same amount of money and problem. OH, prepare to cut alot of chassis and interior too.

Gearbox: impossible

turbokit: might as well buy standalone, most out of the box black box sucks.

Drifting: fwd drift=tricycle

the rwd civic draw car is probably the AEM one, the body have civic headlight and tail but it's a V6 from NSX

if i am not mistaken, the v6's crank is spining the other way also.
nothing more fun than 6 or 5 reverse and 1 front gear.

the whole engine sits behind the front axle for the S2k, there's nothing in the nose, lol it just a huge airbox and well, nothing.

not to mention if you have a rwd accord it's going to be one of the first very nose heavy RWD
