CB7 V6 Swap Parts List & Methods

[djcaz_aom]

You beat me to the picks^^^ I was just about to post some of those up.

[owequitit]

Those are the two I was talking about.

[djcaz_aom]

I've been throwing the idea around for a while as well.

If you saw my post asking about welders, then now you know why I asked.
I have the motivation and know how; just need the proper tools and learn to weld as well.

I do believe both of those car have been built for drag racing.

Therefore, weight balance is not an issue, and the more weight on the front wheels the better.

[lokuputha]

tru...the weight imbalance can be cured with some stronger springs, shocks, sway bars, brakes....the usual modifications.....

look at the Golf R32 with the 3.2L V6...it seems to do well enough

...oh yeah and a 200lb sub box in the trunk...


question: are the J30/32/35/37 all about the same size?

[Allgonoshow]

i didn like vtec cars BC weak low-mid end,
but i now understand stromg point of hondas...

SWAPIN bigger engine to ligther chase

[Ant]

I'll see if i can get some info on the black civic. My cousin seen this car a few times, so i'll ask him what he knows about it. Or see if the owner could tell me the details of this swap.

LOL! The VQ30 is a nice engine, but you are comparing the torque of a V6 to the torque of an I4 Honda.

That makes no sense.

I took an Infinity I30 in my auto F22A6 at any speed he wanted, and that had the VQ30. I guarantee the owner would have sworn his car was faster based on "feel." But it wasn't...

As far as 3.0 vs 3.0. A J30A4 or A5 will walk all over any 3.0 VQ ever made, and in fact will give a lot of the FWD 3.5L versions a run for their money.

reason why i compared 2 engines before
BC i heard so much hype/rumor, how vtec systems is advanced, n useful from my asian homies w/HB, crxs, when i was in high school,
back than if you had dohc vtec swapped car you were tha Shiaat!!,
that was when importtunner mag didn even exist, when v8s ruled the street

only mag. called TURBO(which mainly coverd domestics)
which was coverin somelike 93 dx HB w/b18b that ran 13.8 w/nos+boltons and delsol sohc vtec w/bullfrog(remember this company?) head job and valvetrainas ran 14.8 as top coverstory
BC it was so amazin that small 4banger finnally broke 14, 13secs

just didn think that 4banger w/ fake turbo(i used to call vtec fake turbo)
was for me.
i used make fun of the high tone screammin 4banger fart pipe noise

h-cb7 is the first true vtec i have owned, and low rpm leg was lettin me down

now my car is different story

learned the vtec's charactor and how to drive to stay in vtec zone., and added some more MODs, better understanding of vtec helpped me alot..
i just wish that cb7 was little lighter(so h22 can toss'em around)

by the way
i had 95 gxe(lightest max w/about 3100lb) w/ later gen. vq30dek(that's when my love for sleeper cars began)
which pumps 227hp@6k, and 205lb tq@4K stock w/IHE common swap for Maxs, since almost everything fit w/ minor work, except 4 wirings... n i was lucky that i was working as helper in my dad's friends shop for short periodtime.. max was pretty fast, never dynoed but killed lots of honda

i even had sticker of little boy peein on Vtec..
but engine block gone bad after fun,hard drivin 80000miles(took it from junked max), didn care to fix'em

what car j30a4 is from..?
BC i have beat some v6 accord(last gen.) 4dr, cpe
ledgend cpe, acura CLs TLs(last gen)
but back then honda didn offer too many card w/manual tranny

The J30A4 and A5 are from the 2003-2007 Accords.

The last gen Accord V6's were not fast, until about 90+. My mom's 02 accelerated faster from 90-105 than it did from 60-70.

My Accord with an F22 auto and a few mods kept up with her car all day long.

The new Accords are a whole different story though.

Our new 06 V6 auto inched on a GTO. The faster the speed, the harder the Accord started to gain.

No bullshit.

[lokuputha]

question: are the J30/32/35/37 all about the same size?...

would the longer stroke make the heads taller?

anyone have a new TL and a new MDX?

[Tnwagn]

My dad's got a 2004 TL with a J32A3. I've got tomorrow off and see what I can do about getting engine measurements. I'm willing to contribute to this as long as I don't have to shell out any money And as everyone has said, a v6 cb7 would be kick ass. I can't even imagine the potential it would have. However, one of the biggest problems that I've though and read about would be the weight balance btw F/R. Stronger springs would be absolutely necessary, but gettting the proper balance between the F/R would be a PITA.

Realisticly, if someone does this swap would you decide to go all out and work out the AC and PS lines, or just skip it?

Def. one of the best threads of the year!
