Default custom.....

alright people. rollin the v6 97 accord and got curious... Do you think i could custom turbo this thing and run a low boost setting.. like 6-8psi... If so, you have to remeber i got stock internals, stock auto trans... is the trans strong enough do you think??? how about the turbo manifold in the first place... Anyone know of a company that could custom fab one for me.... If all this is possible do you think it is worth it... or should i swap in an h22 or k24 or k20

anything is possible with the right amount of time or money, however everything would have to be custom fabricated for this build, and engine management would be VERY hard to find. you are talking big money.

and you would be the first(besides JTCC cars, and they are running a crazy set up that would be hard to copy), to swap in a 4cy into a 6cyl bay. The bay is bigger, and the engine mounts are in different locations.

Yeah, well. i think it would be a pretty sick setup given it would be super unique and that is something that appeals to me. Well if you dont think about running any of those setups what would you do if you were me.. I have entertained the idea of selling my car and buying an eg6 and putting in a k24 into that.... but that isnt my accord,. and ideas would be great

well this is a V6 accord, with a reversely mounted H22(intake manifold on the front, exhaust on the back).


But in all honestly, there isnt all too much you can do, could try nitrous, but i dont know how it would stand up to it.

Selling the C27 Accord and getting an F22 Accord of the same year. Or the Civic idea sounds good... K's are amazing.

but then if i got a civic i couldnt chill on this forum.. but yeah idk what i will do. That accord is pretty sick by the way, i was thinking about possibly making a custom ram air that goes from the front bumper grill, then like through the CAI route... dont know how well it would work.. although i did see a youtube video of a JDM C27.. first and only one i have ever see... with that set up.. was pretty sick.

sure you could, falkore is a mod here and he doesnt even have a Honda. I think my next project will probably be a b18 turbo EK.

alot of work for minimal gain, and would be rather hard on our cars.

haha, thats what i thought too... but i was hopeing someone to say "oh that would be a really good idea!!" haha, maybe what i will do is keep my accord and just make it clean.. new paint, interior, seats, lowered, rims... and then make somewhat of a club car out of an eg6
