2.4 liter i-VTEC DOHC 160 horsepower at 5500 rpm, 161 lb. ft. torque at 4500rpm, five speed manual or automatic

Wow, now people can swap in an S2K motor into an Accord.

 

Im looking forward to recieving these.

 

the 6 speed won't be released yet, surprise surprise!

edit: plus it looks like it's going to be a living hell to modify, everything has a cover over it!

i hear obd 2.2 is a good time too.

 

If it's anything like the Lexus IS300 ECU it's nuts. The friggin' thing resets itself even WITH a piggyback ECU.

 

It says it is on the way not that it isnt going to be released at the time the accord is released. Most likely the V6 with the manual will come out 1 or 2 months after the regular coupe though knowing Honda but from the way this artical sounds it is going to be comming out at the same time.

 

a standard transmission accord with power? *gasp*

 

I am way too happy about the Accord finally being a higher performing car out of the box. Not only that, but the K20A2 and F20C1 bolt in with almost no modifications.

 

six speed V6 - waahooo!!!!!

 

Looks nice but i'm still glad I just bought an 02. The price on this baby is gonna take it up a notch and I wouldn't be suprised if they start optioning it out instead of including everything in certain trim levels.

 

3.0L 240hp!
i don't know of any other 3.0's making 240hp

 

man if that 4 manger fit in my car that would be a treat 400 lbs lighter with 30 more ponies

 

Gentlemen, gentlemen please!!

Need I remind you what this thing will look like?

 

I'm guessing thats the 2.4l is same motor as the CRV??? is so, is it a K-series? what kind of swap options would there be?

 

very VERY good point

 

Maybe I'm just silly but why would you put a torqueless S2000 motor in a heavy *** Accord? ...

 

I was gonna say it but bit my tongue. Thank you.

 

is the accord still FWD or RWD this time?

 

I dunno, the same type of people who have thought that swapping in a civic si or an ITR motor into their accord is a good idea

It looks like it's still FWD, b/c if it was RWD wouldn't the motor be mounted longitudenally (sp?)

Actually, with a comptech supercharger, the F20C1 will do more than pull this car.

 

thank you...at least someone said it...

 

I don't think it looks that bad.

 

higher redline motor = shorter gearing which makes up for at least some of the difference?

 

So your gonna buy a $6000+ dollar motor, put a $2000 supercharger into your brand new 03 Accord only to make it slightly faster?
