Thats actually really nicely done. I like those accord coupes, I just hate it when people really go overboard on them. Does yours have the 3.0 or the 2.3?Quote:

I agree, it's a clean Accord.
Well... its a 3.0 now, but there may be a 3.2 sitting in my garage. As soon as i get some parts in... *sigh*Quote:

Well see.. thats the problem. Its a auto, but along with this new engine comes a new trans. Honda didnt decide to throw a 6spd along with a v6 until the 7th gen accords... JERKS!Quote:

I LOVE turbos, so the SR20DET (JDM 4cyl turbo) was my thought at first...
BUT, I drive my 240 pretty much daily so reliability was a HUGE need and everyone of my friends with the SR20 has some sort of issue it seems like.
They all make 300+hp and I wanted more. LS1 is the same weight as the SR swap and keeps the 50/50 weight distribution.
Slap some heads/Cam on it and still get 150k+ miles on it with no issues and 450 hp. Cost of the swap is similar within $1k, and I will retain A/C power steering gauges, ect.. I am working on what I will have to do wiring wise for the Cruise control, but its not a must have.
And the final goal... 25mpg city 40+MPG highway. I think the 2.73 gears should make this a reality.
cam exhaust intake will amke you 407whp. but will bring you down to like 15mpg city, 30ish freeway with 4.10 rearend. if you do it, you really need to see about getting a 12bolt, or 9 inch rearend with like a 3.73 rearend atleast.
Bah - US engine in JDM chassis is all wrong. US engines go in US cars and should never, EVER be transplanted into something like a 200SX! *look of shock and disappointment*
However, salvation is easy - go for an RB25DET....or the RB26DETT :D
Japanese engines belong in Japanese cars!
Exactly, like the morons that put LS1s in 240-280Zs also.... god that pisses me off.... :down:Quote:
