I have a '96 V6 170 hp. Is there any popularity in engine swaps to better this model? (I belive it is a c27)

 

There isn't really anything that swaps in with relative ease or low cost. There also isn't much in the means of aftermarket parts for it.

 

Hes right. No swap will be easy.
There is after market parts.andyautosport.com has been my best friend.(i own 95 accord v6).
also you can swap the auto to manual..i think you use an acura legend tranny.

 

Yes , Andy's is good, but the tranny swap is a BIG deal. Remember you have to get a clutch and added pedal among other things.

 

yes very correct.also when you take the tranny out there a huge hunk of metal where the old tranny used to sit on so that needs to be taken out...its a difficult swap..and im sure shops will charge and arm n a leg..lol..
im just sticking with the stock engine.its an old one but its good.another member even makes custom headers..i belive hes done the auto to manual swap as well.
