An insane sleeper http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=4&campid=5335845763&toolid=10001&customid=v6performance-posts&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Febaymotors%2F07-Acura-TL-Type-S-Type-S-J35A8-3-5-MT-Engine_W0QQitemZ120208593305QQcmdZViewItem If you somehow swap this engine in a v6 7th gen Accord, bolt it to a 6spd M/T (or use the stock 6 speed if you feel confident) You're already pushing 286 HP and 256 ft-lbs of torque stock.

that was the same engine i wanted to drop in my accord which is why i'm STILL debating wheter to sell my 4 banger accord and get a V6 accord and drop that engine in since it would 20 X easier to drop it in the bay of a V6 but the price of gas is what seems to make me double think it. but if the prices of gas goes back down at least to 2.99 then i'll sell it for sure but right now the way gas is,i'm feelin my I-4,its really good on gas.

03Sleeper -> RE: This would be... (6/3/2008 10:55:14 AM)
I agree completely with you. I'm still averaging like 25-26 mpg and driving like a madman.

HORSEPOWERJUNKIE2007 -> RE: This would be... (6/3/2008 12:05:47 PM)
yup.true not that much power compared to a 300Hp V6 but hey,right about now i tihnk its smarter to go with gas mileage over power because the way gas is going its going to be like 8 dollars a gallon

Nice swap... looks like tons of work!

HORSEPOWERJUNKIE2007 -> RE: This would be... (6/4/2008 10:00:05 PM)
if you got a V6 6th generation,then what work is there to be done?most J series are interchangeable so i see no reason it should be that stressful.

KevinAccord -> RE: This would be... (6/5/2008 9:06:42 AM)
but since i''ve got a i4 im taking about a swap for my car... I do know that V6''s accords and are pretty similar,if not almost the same as Acura''s V6... I wouldn''t ask anything that obvious...
