I'm just curious if it's at all possible to swap in the 2003 Accord's V6 engine...obviously there aren't that many spare ones since the accord just came out but nonetheless....

Would the engine bay be too small to fit it at all or would a lot of work allow this to fit? The idea of having 240bhp right off the bat is a wonderful idea =P

Been covered, unless you want to rearange your engine bay... it's not a simple swap.

why not just put an s2000 F20 motor in it because that would be hell of alot easier to fit in than the J30. Have you actually popped the hood of your ep?? without cutting the front off extending it and then recreating the frame to make the nose longer I dont see how there is even a hope of a chance to shoehorn the J30 under our bay.

if ur gonna go v6 why not just get the NSX motor? at the cost of lenthening teh chassis and the labor you would obviously have a money is no object wa hah hahaha attitdude so why not go after the Best engine honda has to offer?

ok ok jeez...
Hmm...the S2000's engine does seem to be a far more likely candidate since it's still I-4 and isn't anywhere near the displacement size of the nsx or accord engines....

But yeah ok, so cost is a factor...

So back to the simple tuning and drop options....

OR the 200 hp 166lb/ft K24 from the new TSX. now that that is out my swap plans are changing. hopefully we'll see a TSX type S (and hopefully it would still be a K engine) then i'll be forking out the cash.
