G25A=POS engine that will probly last you like a year max. They have alot of problems. 5 Cylinder honda engines should all be melted down to make new F22s.lol

I know so many ppl that say this...my mechanic won't even have them in his shop...although he only fixes Honda/Acura's ...whats wrong with the 5pot Honda motors exactly? specially the motor from the vigor...i thought that was supposed to have been a sporty car?

If I remember it was the HG likes to blow.

[fobs]

same chassis,... vigor and inspire,... rite? minor mods maybe.

[sickocb7]

waste of money IMO....just build the f22, it will be more reliable in the end and will have more power than those motors!

[jayrq2o1]

heh, ya, im not building, i was just pondering. i did some research for the hell of it, and pretty much the g series is extinct. i can turbo my accord if i want, but im really cheap and can't justify the cost and work vs advantages. i got caught speeding 77 in a 45 on south 130 here in jersey, so i really don't want to think what i would do with a turbo! other than burning a mercedez, i think my stock 140 or so hp is fine. thanks for the input guys.

Honda's only straight motor larger than a 4 was the 5... it was a one of a kind motor. With no previous straight 5 or 6 to base it off of, it probably had bugs. Not to mention parts aren't abundant, since it's rather uncommon. Neat concept, but not good.

Our cars aren't big enough to accept anything other than a 4 cylinder without some major work and a good deal of careful planning. Get the geometry wrong and you'll be snapping axles every week.

That would be incredibly cool. Or somehow use the crv awd and a k24.

understood. i've got my f22 almost where i want it though. the only thing that bothers me is the surging idle. i opened the fitv and there isn't a screw there, per se, there's what looks like a copper cone and two white semi-circle pieces of plastic. im not sure what to screw down after heating up the engine. well, still learning of course. anyway, i'm planning to replace the fitv altogether. when i bang away at it while the car is surging, it idles right the more i smack it. it used to do that with the iacv, then i replaced with a junk, it doesn't anymore. smacking stuff is really bad way to find out whats wrong though...

still, i may be happy with my car as it is...i can dream about more cylinders can't i...?
