My engine in my 2002 accord v6 is in need of a new one. I just want to know if this swap is a direct fit. I've done numerous swaps, but I wasn't sure about the compatibility of this one. I was going to use this engine.

i was just curious if there was going to be any hiccups (Crank Sensor, wire harness and etc)

So basically will a JDM J30A work in place of a USDM J30A1?

 

BUMP.
Anybody with some info on this. I have done hours of research but to no avail. I did find they used the JDM J30A in a Honda odyssey minivan in Japan from 98-03. But the horsepower was 210 not 200 like the J30A1.

 

Why? Just J35 swap it if you have to pull the J30. J30A1's are teh suck.

 

i agree throw a j35 in it with the j35 ecu and roll out

 

Thanks, that is what I will probably do then.

 

Odyssey J35's are everywhere, just make sure you get one of the higher rated ones from (I think) 02+. It'd be a good idea to swap the intake manifold for a higher flowing, lower profile later version though. I believe the best one's are off of recent TL-S's, but I've also seen that the 08+ Odyssey touring's are fairly comparable. Google around, people are making BIG power with J35's now. Look around on v6performancet.net for info.

While you're at it, you might as well go with a 6-speed swap lol. If you can't do that, at MINIMUM add a big trans cooler and good fluid.

 

Jdm J30a is a replacement for Usdm J30a1. I have a Jdm J30a in my 2002 Usdm Honda accord ex v6 and it works fine.You just have to keep your original ecu and change the injectors as the require more pressure to open them.

 

Any updates on how the car runs 5 years later ??
