Oh, come now, where is the Honda-Tech spirit?
In relation to the topic, I agree with above. It would be much smarter financially to trade for a V6, though I must say it has a much smaller aftermarket and that 4 cylinder K series engine you have is a very capable and mod friendly motor.

don't get me wrong, I'm not against all flaming but I just don't like it when a thread turns into nothing but flaming. Flaming within reason is ok, but excessive flaming isn't

Re: (TouringAccord)
Yes, you could swap to a 6 cyl engine, but it will cost alot of monety because most of the major partd are different like: transmission, half shafts, radiator, motor mounts, ECu and wiring harness. It will be really expensive.
Additionally, there is not much of an after market for the V-6 engines. A 4 cyl engine is lighter and your car is more nimble because the front is not as heavy as a 6cyl. If you are looking for power, I suggest swapping to a manual trans if you do not have one (preferably a trans with better gear rations like in the integra's or so. I am not sure what trans will bolt up to your engine.) The other suggestion is adding a turbo kit because the turbo will add alot more torque at lower RPM, and make the car much quicker.
No flames, just advice.
