4CYL V.S 6CYL - Page 2

the good thing about honda's, they are like Legos, u can put anything on them and make them run, mine for example has mitsubishi eclipse turbo injectors, a civic's SI Chip to rev higher, and a prelude's suspension (i made it fit, hahaha)... u can make a complete new car by changing things, ex: Frankestain G23!

So are we now comparing Accords and si's to the S2k?  For either to beet an S2k in a drag race, they would need a major build .... turbo at least, so for a fair race, the S2k would get a turbo also ..... bye bye Accord, bye bye Civic!!!

On the other hand, my best friend's '02 EP3 si has a fully built suspension complete to the bushings and Billstein shocks.   On top of that, he's an excellent driver and race trained.  He'd be able to take an S2k with it's stock suspension or even built with an everyday driver behind the wheel on the twisties.

s2k is honda's sport car... accord is not... that was simple, right? if accords could be make faster, cheaper, then the s2k would not be sold! how much does the s2k cost anyway?

comparing a 240hp s2000 to a 240hp accord lol.  one of the things that wasnt mentioned yet was gear ratio

the s2000 tranny is built to go fast, the accord tranny is built to get grocieries. 

4cyl accord FTW.  easier to do a h22 swap lol. 

Lmao, so sad yet so true.

What's a fg hood anyway?

Yo Pyaarawala..you have to kinda forgive these text messengers of the cell phones, they dont all know how to spell Big Words

fiberglass,  your hood would only weigh 30 pounds  not as cheap as a cf hood though ^_^

Im sorry but dont CF hoods only weigh 18-22lbs??? Im pretty sure they do. Mine didnt feel any heavier when I was putting it on

thanks, now i dont know anymore....   it was my understanding that a carbonfiber hood was only a 30 to 40 pound drop off the lofty 100isb lb hood accords have....    but unfortunately the weight of a fiberglass hood has too many factors to it to truely define a set weight to hold all of them as.       factors being number of layers, type of weave, resin type, and a few other things

but seeing as im off on this anyways, how much does a 6th gen hood oem weigh?

Its damn near impossible to find good aftermarket parts for the V6 model. If you want a turbo, there isn't a company that offers a kit for it, but I've seen it done. I believe its comptech that makes a supercharger for it, but its 3500 dollars and the dollar to horsepower ratio is lacking.
