The 5th gen is a known platform. I-Vtec and this new V6 arent yet. What exactly are your goals?

I still think the older ODB1 I4's is the platform to stick with for a project car.

The semi highcompression AV6's are going to be about worthless to FI IMO. And who in their right mind is going to tear apart a brand new AV6 except for ballers?! I saw that comptech SC for the V6's .. like a whopping 40hp for 5,000 bucks..... ouch. I'm curious what the gear ratios on the manual AV6's are.. the Avengers/Eclipses are prime examples of mid 200hp V6's with EXTREMLY poorly geared manual trannys.

just my opinions tho...

actually, you are thinking of kits and stuff that is already made for the v6 'cord...but little do you know, there is a word we all love and know as "custom"....the v6 accord would be able to handle (internally, i dunno bout the tranny) a twin turbo setup and it could easily be done with the same 5 grand that the comptech piecashit costs, but only with about 100+ more hp!

thats funny cause the GSR motor is 10:1 just like the new V6 which LOVES boost...

compression is always a good thing, just gotta tune it right when you force feed it

learn what you're talking about before you open your mouth Andrew


Don't blame me if I'm wrong!
riiiiight
