im getting a 1996 Honda accord ex sedan with an automatic transmission I want to make it a manual any suggestions on how to do this as far as the engine it a has 2.2l sohc which will be k swapped in the near future any help would be great thanks in advance

 

Well if you are going for a K swap in the near future. My suggestion would be to drive it auto until you go to do the K swap. Not much sense in taking all the time to pull all the running gear out of it twice when you only have to do it once.

If you want to do it because you have a lot of time to waste. I'm pretty sure that there is a 5spd swap thread in the Accord FAQ's and if you search 5 speed swap in the Accord forum there are a few in there as well. It's not that difficult of a job and when done properly it's just as if the car came that way.

 

well that's good I might just wait then my main reason for wanting to make it stick is for turbo as I cant see driving a auto that way

 

Have you thought about what engine management you are going to be using and who you are going to have tune your boosted K swap?

 

I was thinking having my bfs friend vit do it unless I can find someone who will be accurate and in a nice price range I haven't thought about management yet im still in planning stages haven't even decided the make of turbo or set up which is very sucky


sorry for the delayed replies currently at work

 

do you have any recommendations as to management

 

Where you live in NJ, I would suggest contacting Chris Harris at Xenocron.com and talk to him about your build. Great guy to deal with. However, you will want to do some research on your own prior to your chat. It is best to have an informed basis of what you want and not rely on people spoon feeding you.

The internet is a great place to do your research. You don't even have to leave your house of get out of your PJ's.

Where you are going with a K series swap you are getting limited on your EMS tuning options. Best bet would be to talk to the person who will be tuning your car and see what they are most comfortable using. You will need an OBD2 K series capable tuning solution.

 

thank you ill definitely look into it im not very I don't know accords to well yet but Ill get there thank you again
