An insane sleeper

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.

lol


im following my friend in his civic to the Fridays on central ave in yonkers.

as we coming up the central ave, i pull up next to my friend @ a light, we talkin back and forth and he goes "yo" and gives me the "look over there" nod. i turn my head and theres a black 08 accord sittin @ the light next to us, kid driving it with one of those oreo racing jackets just reving it.

so we go up the the next light and im like yo, nice car. hes like same to you.. he goes ya its a quick lil sohc, i was like ME TOO so he comes off the light and punches it... i turned to my friend smiled and stomped on it.


so long story short, few lights later he catches up to me like i was like sup, he said how u get a f23 to move like that, i was like f23? get yourself a jseries and dumped the clutch and bounced from him again

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 gasgoes 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.

I agree completely with you. I'm still averaging like 25-26 mpg and driving like a madman.

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

good luck, theres only one way from here, and thats up. unless they decided to drill utah and alaska, then its possible it could go down.........but probably not, why would gas companies lower the price when they know people will pay whatever the price is.

and anyways, seems like alot of money to do the swap considering the engine itself is $2700, plus the 5kish of a accord, and all the other parts that would be needed for the swap.......

could get a car(or bike ) that would absolutely roast it

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.
