2006 accord

i know its a big car but is the 5 speed 3.0 vtec any good in this car cause i bet it has power

[deevergote]

The engine responds quite well to mods... and they are 6 speed, not 5.

Fairly quick in stock form. With a few properly done mods, they can be quite potent. They only issue comes from putting all that power down to the front wheels.

i also heard they are really heavy a guy named franklin perez has it in a civic

He is asking about the 2006 Accord, not the engine, I don't think.

The auto is a 5 speed. The manuals are 6 speed.

And yes, it has plenty of power. It will run about as fast as an H22 Accord with more stuff in it, and get better MPG to boot. Much quieter, and actually handles quite well (a rear sway bar gives it truely decent handling). One of Honda's best powertrains ever in this gen V6 Accord.

Also, putting power down is not really an issue on this.

He's asking about the 2006 Accord 5 speed 3.0 vtec...

Yes, you're right, it could be the 5 speed auto (though most people don't say "x speed" when referring to automatics)

Putting power down can get to be an issue once the engine is modified. It was easy to break traction through second gear in my GTP... lots of torqey low-end power to the front wheels can be difficult to control. Especially on uneven roads, or in wet weather.

Regardless, this thread has absolutely no focus.

Supercharged 3.8 = low end torque.
NA 3.0 = not so much.

As Scott mentioned, they don't really have traction issues. Now, the 08+ V6-6...those have traction issues. My brother's will break the tires loose easily on a launch, and it will break them loose again at the top of 1st.

There is only one 5 speed, so I was just assuming.

Regardless, this engine isn't likely to be greatly overpowering the front wheels, even with bolt on mods. It is just not that overpowering.

Who's saying I wasn't referring to a supercharger?


And yes, there's only one 5 speed... but I'm more accustomed to assume ignorance around here these days!

[93blackcb7]

baahahahahahahahhahaha i was just wondering from your guyes point of view but it looks like this thread turned to s**t lol

[deevergote]

It was s**t from the start.


By the way, you're allowed to say SHIT on this forum.

i went to a cb meet not 2 long ago, dude had a civic like the 1 you posted, with a j30 or wat ever in it. so nice lookin, he didnt need to pop the hood, he cut around the mani so it can stick out

[deevergote]

It was blue or purple, right? Darker than the one pictured above.

[F20A CB7]

white

[deevergote]

Ah, ok. There was a dark blue/purple one, converted to RHD, rolling around north jersey. I saw the guy driving it before the J swap, and then one day I saw it again with the engine sticking out like that. Pretty sweet. I know he pulled the engine and sold the shell... but since that's LHD, that means there's another J swapped Civic in the same general area. I thought maybe that's where his ended up!

[F20A CB7]

theres a few of these j30 swaps around ny,pa,nj.

its just another one of those cool swaps, sheesh the h22 is sure as hell gettin played out rite, when you have swaps like this going on.
