I've never seen a V6 in a CB7. It's been planned out quite extensively by members here, and there are a few projects that are supposedly about to begin... but I don't know of anyone, at least not any of the members here (which are most likely the majority of the serious cb7 tuners in the world, at least those that bother with internet forums)
It's doable... but it will require a LOT of work. The J series V6s have lots of potential, though... so it's well worth the effort if you have the money and ability to do it.

The closest chassis that you could do this swap to would be a first gen 3.0 CL. That's gotta be quite a sleeper when done right!

What do you mean? The engine from the CL? Or swapping a bigger J series into a CL?
You COULD use the V6 from a Legend or 5th gen Accord, though that isn't much of an upgrade.
J32s are fairly inexpensive. That would be the engine you'd want to go with, as they make nice power, and respond well to mods. Finding a manual transmisison to mate to one would be the hardest part. They aren't common, nor are they cheap.

yeah, I'm sure. I remember it was blue and it had the shop's logo all over it. They also had a drag civic hatch. I can't remeber the name of the people that did it though.Originally posted by evil_demon_01 View PostSure your not thinking of the V8 swap?

I know that Arizona Performance Imports did a J35 swap in a Civic using Hasport mounts. If a J can be swapped into a Civic, it can work with a CB7 too. The thing I think would be a main issue is the height clearance. The hood might have to have a scoop put on it so the engine has a little extra room to clear the hood.
Edit* Here is the video for those who didn't see it:
I really wish I had the time to do a J swap in my CB7. Having 260 HP and not having to do any motor work would not only make the car quick, but the motor would be more reliable because you didn't have to put work into the motor to get the HP that high.Last edited by AbsurdNY; 09-16-2009, 12:35 PM.Comment
