Hey guys, so I searched and I could find anything really on 06 accords. But I have a buddy that want's "to go fast" (Taledaga Nights), and he doesn't know how to get there. Any idea of any good sites of where to get new 06 accord performance parts, and is there any recommended setup for him to go with right now? (Oh, and I already told him to beef up the suspension)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!


Edited: Okay, sorry I didn't look in the FAQ's but still any help would be great!

 

You are limited with what you can get for being a v6. New clutch, intake, exhaust, headers are unavailable because the headers are cast into the block and it's a bitch to get them off. You can take a CL supercharger built by Comptech and get a new radiator and you've got a supercharged v6, but that'll cost a pretty penny.

Can you please elaborate?

 

Well, the kid wants to get an intake, headers, exhaust, some other crap... but wow....

....I thought my car was limited, his is fairly screwed, huh? I mean aside from going custom, what can he do, he just wants to up the performance a bit... oh, and what's the engine code?

 

Wow. That's a lot of HP right out of the box. Is he sure he wants to go through all that?

Because of the inherent limitations on the J motor design as it is installed in the cars, his choices are limited.

There is no header design for the J motor in modern applications, and the car already comes with a very nice free flowing dual exhaust. I think I'd just leave that alone.

The Comptech supercharger route with new dissipator to make room for the supercharger? That's not as expensive as you think, and compares favourably to other choices once you add all the headaches up.

I'd tend to try to talk him out of making changes to the motor, and consider other things.

A TLS rear sway bar, for example. An HFP suspension, for example.

If he really wants to drive, he can consider putting a TLS six speed OEM LSD into his six speed tranny. Leave the VSA turned on for normal driving, but switch it off when he goes to the track.

I am not sure how long I am going to keep my 2006 six speed Accord. If it looks like I am going to hang onto it for an extended period, then I will probably be looking at putting a J32 (TL-S) or a J35 (RL) motor into it, mated with the six speed and LSD that's already in it.

It seems to me that it'd be less trouble to do a simple J motor swap into it than fool with all the improvements that nobody's paved the way for with the 7 Gen Accord.

You have stopped to consider how much power that thing has, right? The 7 Gen USDM J30 has 245 Honda HP, which is 258 SAE Net HP. I mean, that's no small shakes right out of the box, and it's not hard to get to 60 in under 6 seconds just as it is.

 

EDIT: Think about calling Hondata and asking them what they have going on. I know that they have developed a computer for the J motors because they experimented with a J motor Honda Challenge car.

There is also a 2006 Accord Coupe doing well in Grand Am, but I do not think they made many changes to the motor.

 

Oh yeah, I know, trust me, I've studied that car inside and out, I know all about it stock. And it's pretty good bang for the buck I'll give you that.

Now, he has money, there's no doubt about that. But the money he has he gets in incriments. Which sucks, but that's how life is and you gotta go with it.

Plus he's not really mechanically inclined enough to do a swap, nor does he have the money for it right off the bat. (He'd have to dip into his trust fund) So I don't think he'd want to go that route.

Now, him and I discussed going custom turbo for the car, but there aren't many fab shops around, plus we don't know if it'll work out well.

I know that we could most likely go i/e and fab some stuff, can't go headers I know that. Suspension is a must. So I don't know... are these cars just handicapped? Or is it just a matter of time?

They're more or less permanently handicapped as far as the traditional aftermarket header design goes. There is at least one person who has cut on the integral header design and made a custom exhaust from his cuts all the way back.

I don't see that as enough of an improvement to be worth the money.

I dunno. Inasmuch as there is a 300 HP drop in swap available, maybe he should just save up for that.

 

Ok well if he has dough to spend, then he should DEFINETLY twin turbo that sucker. One guy got lots of sponsors and successfully fabbed up a twin turbo job when he cut off the headers and welded a new set, but he had MASSIVE sponsor support from every sponsor you can think of. Although, I don't know that his car ever ran. You could use AEM EMS, I'm sure there is a harness available for it (I don't know, because I'm not into the v6 as much as I am the 4cyl). His code is j30a3 if I'm not mistaken.

If he wants to burn 10k, he can definetly turn that thing into a 600whp+ beast. Do some research, have him visit v6performance.net, they've been doing a lot of work over there....

 

You guys have been extremely helpful, I'll relay all these to him, and it depending on which one he likes it'll most likely be either the swap or the twin turbos or a combination...

Really appreciate all the input, thanks!

 

Would the motor respond to Hondata and say liek a 75 shot of NOS or a Custom Zex kit when WOT?

Has anyone put out cams for these motors yet?

Just curious

 

I know they put out cams for the 4 cyl.
