5Gen Accord V6 HP
Im lookin to buy a 94 Accord Coupe... Did they make those with V6s? Ive searched tha forum and everyone seems to be swapping their engine with H22As... Which is a 4cyl... Why? Do tha V6s (If made) not supply enough HP?
Im jus lookin ta find out how much HP a 94 Accord V6 puts down...

Re: 5Gen Accord V6 HP (OoDepriveDoO)
the accord v6 puts out about 200hp. the problem is it doesnt respond to upgrades well, and is mostly good for torque at low rpms, not to mention it's quite a bit heavier than a 4 cylinder..which hurts not only in terms of power-to-weight ratio..but also in terms of handling and braking and just overall performance in general. the h22a on the other hand also put out 200hp...rev's higher..is lighter...and has tons of aftermarket support. it's also a much cheaper, and a much easier swap to do.
there's supercharger kits for the v6 and stuff if you happen to have one...but if you dont have a v6 already and want to swap your engine out...the h22a out-performs it in every way.

Awesome thanx for tha info... But one last question... In tha end im lookin to have a fully turbo'd accord... So if i was to swap a 4cyl in... Which would be tha best 4cyl canidate for turbo... Which would have tha biggest HP gain? A high or low displacement?
Why H22A and not a B18B... Ive heard tha B18B is tha best way to go compared to tha B18C series... What about compared to tha H22A?

My head hurts. Ok.
Your talking about a 5th gen Accord, not a 6th gen. Thats C27A1 and not J30A1. So thats 170hp and all automatics.
And you dont want the B18 because you do want torque. You can have 600hp but if you have 10ft lbs of torque, you will barely move.

Re: (OoDepriveDoO)
5th gen have those legend pos engine, 170 horse, tq is good but it works hard to keep up. they have different body styling, longer nose, hood etc, which not much aftermarket company pay attention to, since most of the fifth gen on the road have four cylinder. surprisely the EX(only vtec model for 5th gen four cylinders)
out run the v6 at the 1/4 with a manual tranny. v6 only come with auto
You prolly new to accord, H and F series have more torque which is needed to pull the heavier accord, which you cant find in the B serie.
unless you got a 3th gen accord
if you plan to turbo the car, there's no point to get a v6, first of all there's no room and there's close to zero aftermarket support.
dont even plan to swap a 4cylinder h22 to v6, the mount are on the wrong side.
it can be done but it's not worth it, and there's no point to keep a h22 with the auto tranny from v6, unless you have it upgrade.

1.8 liter B series engines dont have enough torque for an accord, they are great for integras and civic...but the accord is quite a bit heavier than either of those cars.
For turbo the stock f22b the accord comes with is actually more suited for boost than the h22a because if it's lower compression ratio. it'll handle more boost than an h22a. this would be the most cost efficient option and would be good for around 230 hp.
h22a + turbo will no doubt put out more horsepower...but only because the h22a already comes with an extra 70 hp on tap. you wouldnt be able to run as much boost as the f22 without internal engine mods. so basically...
h22a + turbo = 280 hp for ~$5500
stock f22b + turbo = 230 hp for ~$1500
these are just basic estimates, but you get the idea.
EDIT> whoops, i thought you had a 4 cylinder and were contemplating swapping in the v6. my bad. with a v6 i dont know what your options are...theres a comptech supercharger for 6th gen v6 models...but i dont know what kinda options, if any, there are for the 5th gen v6.
EDIT ONE LAST TIME> ok..i see your still considering what kinda accord to buy. if so, get a 4 banger and read above.

I am new to Accords... Reason being i dont have it yet... Im still looking to buy it... I just wasnt sure if tha 94 Accord Coupes came with V6s or inline 4s...
But anyways... I could have been a bit more detailed... I failed to mention that it is a manual 5spd...
And if i got this correct... Tha stock engine in a 5th gen manual accord is tha F22B? So tha car im looking to buy already has tha engine i need... And all i need to do is turbo it?

if the car your looking to buy is the v6 model, then no. if it's a 4 cylinder then yes. actually if it's manual i'm assuming it's not a v6, so you should be in good shape with that car. just boost that bitch and you'll be happy.

Re: (OoDepriveDoO)
Just look for ex 94 model, which is obd1(good for mod, less restrictive ecu)
EX model come with vtec, dont bother with the v6, there's no aftermarket **** for it.
but if you are looking for boost, i would recommend for LX, aka non-vtec version.
it;s much easier for tuning with turbo. manual is a must.
once again, get 94 if you dont wanna mess with the obd2 bullshit.

one definate advantage the V6 has over the I4 cars they are a lot quieter expecially at speeds of 70+ where the 4 bangers start to sound like a bee hive under your hood..........
