RE: Swap on a 98 Accord V6
There is an entire thread on the 6spd swap on www.6thgenaccord.com - complete with all parts and prices needed. You are looking at about $6k. IMO not worth it unless you want to do the work yourselffor the fun of it.

there's no way for you to keep up with him unless you are going to spend enough to get a faster car. A SC K20 is unreal!!!! What is his max boost? Which SC kit did he use? That engine can likely take a nitrous shot on top of the sc. K-Pro?

RE: Swap on a 98 Accord V6
True story. He purchased a Comptech Supercharger. He also has a stage two exedy clutch, lighter flywheel, HFP suspension, brakes, lip kit, Apexi' WSII, and Injen cai. Our buddy is gonna fab a custom header for him too.
I know i cant keep up lol i dont want to just sit here and watch him do all of these to his car while im just sitting here with my car lol anyone know what other mods i can do? I was debating on a exhaust and header but i cant find one that suits me. Plus my parents dont want me dumping any money into my car so i gotta be discrete about it. Meaning no loud straight pipe lol
Magnaflow makes a pretty nice exhaust system, unless im wrong haha I was looking at Comptech's header system, but that cost $1,300 which is a lil much for me but apparently it puts out 32hp?
I had this car for about two years and i duno what i can do to it being that its an automatic. I plan on getting rid of this car in about four years when i graduate from school. So until then, i want to have a little fun =D

RE: Swap on a 98 Accord V6
Alrighty then!!!
2000 Accord V6 sedan Nighthawk Black
Engine
Injen CAI good, but no better than any other intake. Polished looks nice.
Denso Iridium Plugs good, NGK is better
UR pulleys best pullies, crank only if you need to save money
OBX headers I like them. Mixed reviews of headers in general
Apexi WS2 catback best cat-back IMO. Quietest at this level of performance.
Silicone Radiator and vacuum hoses Definately! Much better than rubber and cheap also.
Helix Power-Tower TB spacer Depends on purpose. Makes a good location to drill in the fogger nozzle.
Suspension
Tein SS coilovers w/adj. dampers Love it!!!
Comptech Anti-Sway Bars Love them!!! Could have been another brand though. Progress for example.
Neuspeed Strut Tower Brace Looks great!!!! Could have been another brand.
cheapie rear lower tie bar Works fine .... $25 + shipping.
Brakes
Brembo Sport Cross-drilled rotors Love them!!! Mixed reviews on drilled rotors.
Hawk HPS brake pads Love them, but going to try EBC Redstuff or HP's next time.
Electronics
Apexi V-AFC2 The "V" does a lot more to driving response than the "AFC",
but with the combination of all other upgrades, I fealt tuning was in order.
Escort X50 Absolute necessity!!!! ..... but if I were to buy new, I'd go with the 9500i.
Escort GT2 A nice toy. 0.95g's baby!!!
Sirius Satellite Radio Love it!!! Was a great gift!!! I wouldn't have gotten it myself,
but now I won't be without it!!!

Pioneer head unit Came with the car, looks good, works well. No real love though.
Phoenix Gold Tantrum 75x4 amp Love it!!! 1 Ohm stability x 4!!!
3-way Pioneer 6x9's Great price .... free! Good enough sound for rear fill.
2-way MB Quartz 6.5" components Great price & sound! Components rock!!!

RE: Swap on a 98 Accord V6
they are pretty good quality ..... the tranny blowing is about 50-50, but with a tranny cooler, chances are ok for it to last. After doing research, I decided that the pricetag is too high for this car.
