ive always wondered this...ok my friend has a 5gen V6...and its horribly slow...and i was thinking if he could throw in a h22? i know it wouldnt be a direct fit but with a lil fabercation do you think it would fit? and im sure for him $$ isnt a problem..and comments questions or concerns would be happily welcomed

 

Sure, why not?

 

Thanks Gennady

 

Glad I could be of service with all my advanced technical prowess.

 

hahaha...anyone else with this ability? hopefully in the morning the guys that are bored at work will grant my wishes

 

it can be done but you will need to weld new motor mounts and will require some fabrication. i've seen it done at a local import shop but just remember that its not easy as swapping from a f22(4 cyl) to the h22. v6->i4 needs work.

 

Yes, any and all newbies, Helen Keller, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and my Grandmother.

 

haha your on a roll man...snoop dogg too?? dayum

 

only need to weld new motor mounts? or is that just one out of many to do...?

 

A local shop tried that here and was successful. Motor mounts are not really the biggest haedache. The wiring part was the most difficult part. If he does this route I would suggest him to get a second car. It took a good 2-3 months to wire it up correctly and working the way it should. But overall is doable.

PS. It looked a lil weird since the V6 had lots more room in the bay... Great for that turbo install!!

 

yeah...well he also has a 4gen accord..but he is sellin that...he was thinkin bout puttin a h22 in there...i still dont know why...

 

anyone today got some imput? do tell

 

it can be done but why?
the six has more torque potential, it would be an absolute waste to swap the 6 out, there have been MANY threads discussing this

 

why not do a auto-manual conversion???? That would be the best bang for the buck on that motor and the manual transmission should not cost you too much.

 

the tranny swap is a problem, leaks fluid and just is an overall headache

 

J32 J32 J32 !!!!!!!

 

Take the money you would spend doing the H22 and the auto-manual conversion, and the fabrication, and spend it with Level 10 getting yout tranny built. Then use the rest to strat a build up on the motor.

 

yeah, that and the c's paddle shift kit

 

weird I would think since the transmission was built for that motor it would go on without a flaw what-so-ever. It is definatly weird in my book why it does not.

 

i was at a loss too, i dont know where the manual trans came from, and the stock rear mount for the autos is garbage anyway

 

ok well first off...this isnt my car..its a friends...and we were just talkin about it...and i wondered if it could happen...plus there isnt alot of support for the 5gen v6'ers...or is there...i dont pay attn to that part
