CB7 V6 Swap Parts List & Methods

[owequitit]

if you guys need any measurements or anything let me know, i work for honda here in prescott i deal with the 3.5 all day long and matter of fact there is a j35 sitting right out side my bays no tranny just motor i may pick it up to get measurements and test fit my accord needs a new motor anyways.

24 x 24 x 23 would cover it.

I got bored and measured it the other day. They are all the same size, so that would cover any J series you wanted to use. The older ones with seperate exhaust manifolds might be a smidge wider, but I think that same box would still cover it.

A couple notes.

The V6 mounts are similar to the 4 cylinder ones, except the 2 extreme ends are swapped, since the engine sits the opposite direction obviously.

1) The 6 speed can come from a CL Type-S, Accord V6 6 speed, or a 2nd gen TL 6 speed. To the best of my knowledge, they are all interchangeable.

The CL Type-S or TL 6 speed would be preferrable since they both come equipped with LSD.

The RL is available in auto tranny form only, although, it is the SH-AWD tranny, so that opens up a whole different can of possibilities.

2) Brakes. Even with a V6, the 1998-2002 Accords have 11.2" rotors and the same pads as the Prelude VTEC swap. A change to more aggressive pads, and these should be fine, especially considering the CB is several hundred pounds lighter.

The V6's do have larger wheel bearings though, so perhaps Odyssey front knuckles and a 5 lug swap would be in order.

3) Axles. These would most certainly be custom, although I don't think the DS shop would have trouble with it.

For AC/ and PS, all lines would have to be custom. Not a big deal.

4) The EMS part gets a little trickier. If you could find an OBD-1 solution, to make it work, that would be ideal, but I suppose you could do a TON of wiring and get the stock ECU to run everything. Steer clear of the DBW ones though.

All in all, this is speculation. Someone is going to have to pay the someodd thousands to get the J series drivetrain in front of them. Then they are going to have to pay the someodd thousands to make it fit, and then the someodd more thousands getting all the details worked out.

I won't reveal too much of my plans though, even though I have been working through it in my head.

You are on your own for that.

The J series swap is looking like it's in the near future.

owequitit will probably be the first to pull it off, I like what I'm seeing so far.

This could be a very interesting swap to see.

I am not even comtemplating a V6 swap in a CB7. I would be glad to help someone else out, but it does not interest me in the least. At least not in the way it is being discussed.

The thought appealed much more to me in an S2K, but HPD already took care of that for me.

OP can you quote all the important posts and put them on the first page so its easier to navigate please?

how is that a downgrade?? even if its the 03-07 accord v6. even if you get the same hp but more torque at a lower rpm.
i see nothing but win with that car. 280hp, 254tq if its the base model engine, 305hp, 275tq if its the typeS. again how is that a downgrade???

You should practice installing it in my car prior to getting one for you car. You don't want to mess anything up on yours ya know...


lol

Talk about a downgrade

Depends on what you want.

It has an extra 45-65HP and an extra 105 lb/ft of torque, and the J series is very much a kickass motor. I wasn't as fond of the F22C because it only redlined at 8K. Even the Civic Si does that.

Plus, put 5-10lbs of boost on the J37 and watch what happens.
