I know that the 2004-2007 saturn vues have a awd j35a3 how hard would it be to install has any one did it if so can the tranny hold up to a build like cams internals and 10 lbs of boost from a t4

 

Saturn Vue did use the J35, but it is otherwise a GM vehicle. The other kicker is although it is an A3 it has the cast crank from an A4(GM be cheap YO). Not an ideal engine for swap.

'CD' chassis came optional with C series V6s not J and even then the front end was different to accommodate the larger C series, IIRC they are called CE Accords.

There are several issues you would need to come up with to install a J series, and then you would still be on the hook for finding a drivetrain/AWD system to fit/work onto the chassis.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but a C series V6 is a 90 degree motor and a J series V6 is a 60 degree motor. If that is right, then the body modifications to a 97 CE would not necessarily accomodate a J motor.

 

u can do a J swap into a V6 shell.

How about the awd from a crv. They use the b-series motor, so you could power it with a gsr motor....

 

Putting a b series in an accord is a terrible idea. Besides everything having to be custom made, the car would be slower than a stock accord due to the lack of torque.

 

So are you saying my 160hp 2.0L 5spd AWD SUV has no torque? Sure I have to rev it to 6500 to hit the power range..... That's the fun of it! It has more than enough tq to move my SUV. So I'm sure it would be enough to move an AWD Accord. However, the amount of custom fabrication would make this a labour of love vs any sort of quality investment.

The newer CR-V with the 5spd K24 would be a much better platform to swap over to the Accord. Still lots of custom fabrication involved though.

Give her a try and let us know how you make out!

 

Thanks. I always wondered how that would work!

 

ok thanks im still going to look into it i was planing on putting the honda motor not the gm but i was trying not to go with b or k just not the power i want if i put that much work plus what im talking about would be the only one ive ever heard of so it would be cool to own and i have a freind that welds and a friend ase cert in tranny so i think i can do it still if you hear of anyone please tell them im going to try to do the conversion

 

Please keep us updated

 

i will im looking for the funds right now but im looking into the numbers and my friend and i are going to start putting a plan in and ghost accord i think it could be a good investment i mean i will get almost a 100 hp more with the j so i know the b would be easier but i want to take on a challenge plus they are lower end and thats what i want
