^sure, but the v6's will run circles around them all day, any day. If you do go the v6 route and are still craving more power, you can always supercharger that sucker or do a j35 swap with a supercharger, now that's some serious stuff. But it'll cost alot of money.

 

yeah, run cirles around them stock! but it is so much easier and CHEAPER to make a 4 banger faster than a modded V6. 4 banger FTW!

 

^ not true. With the basic bolt ons, a 4 banger accord would probably have 170-175 whp and roughly around the same ballpark for torque. A modded v6 with basic bolt ons have at least around 230-235 whp and around 200 torque depending on what tranny the v6 has.
The 4 banger has potential, but unless you do some serious modding to it like doing a k20/24, at the end of the day, the v6 would still be on top.
As I have said in my other post, mod for mod on both these cars, the v6 still over powers the 4 banger. For example, the 4 banger can go the k20/24 route and boost, while the v6 can also go the j35 or even the uncharted territory the j37 and boost. All in all, the v6 reigns over the 4 banger.

 

well, i was gonna say that a modded 4 banger k24 would be faster then a modded k24 V6, but that would be goin against my original statement cuz i did say that if you did everything possible to both engines that the 4 banger would come out on top, but i guess if you boosted the j35/37 then it would be faster then a boosted k24, so i guess your right. good argument though and interesting topic. if i put this way: a modded 4 banger would beat a modded V6 without engine swaping. but i never stated that in my original thesis, so i guess that would be stance instead.

 

^ haha not if you supercharge it or turbocharge it. Who would come out on top now? I guess I'm being biased since I have a v6 but with a retarded transmission. But dont worry, your car will out do my car any day haha.

 

one day we should all meet at the track and line up 4 cylinders vs v6's
and all the cars would be from this forum
that would be a really fun event !!!!

 

im down but you're in socal. I'm afraid to wot my car because I'm scared that my tranny might blow up. But then again, I do have the 36 months warranty.

 

man, that would be fun thunder_x!

 

yeah...seriously
i really want to some day
i will let you guys from cali know
im just waiting on some of my friends right now

 

Stevent,
My 05 Accord EXL V6 Coupe has 244 HP and 212 FT. LBS. of torque.You are way low on your estimate of what a moded V6 could get for HP.The torque would remain essentially the same due to the stroke of the V6.The HP would go way up from 244.
