ok, the question is easy:

if K24 fits on civic bay, will the v6 fit? (k30?)

here in mexico you can do that type of swaps.. still not laws against them.. so..

is it possible?


im not gonna do it right now.. but if i can get the engine for cheap.. why not.


240bhp sounds like a fun ride..

Im pretty sure the v6 engine wont fit. And the V6 isnt a k30

i dont think the civic bay and the accord bay is the same? identical?

I don't think the new Accord 3.0 V6 6 speed is a K series engine. I believe it's just a Vtec. I remember reading a review that said they were amazed the new V6 accord Vtec had a higher red line then the k24. But, I do know there is no K30.

The V6 might fit. My k20 swap takes up a bit of space but leaves enough for a v6. Although, I'm not sure if it's enough room for you to keep your power steering, air conditioning, etc. without cutting.

hmm.. i went to the dealer some mins ago..

geez.. that thing is BIG... but it MAY fit..

maybe will fit. let us know , i personally don't think it will fit, but prove me wrong

just becuase the 4cylinder version might fit doesnt mean the v6 will fit. Have you ever thought that the accord has a bigger engine bay than a civic

actually.. as i see the engine.. it just consumes space on the upper part of the bay.. lower part is the same as the K24..

thats why it may fit, the only problem would be hood clearance on the front part..

get a new hood to make it fit that would be hot

i believe the v6 engine is the J30A or something like that..

I have a question thought..

that would go if i do K24 or (J30a whatever) v6..

I dont think accord suspension is bolt on, on civic like rsx does..

what are the options?

Accord engine, RSX/Si suspension???

My friend has an accord v6 and it is a J30A1. It is possible to fit it in you just have to get a tranny that would work with it.

 
Rep Power: 0

and what tranny would that be?

 
Rep Power: 0

He says the CLS tranny would work but it would b a really tight fit. The CLS is smaller than the Accords so it should b easier to fit in. Either way its gonna b difficult its just a matter if your willing to spend the money and go through the trouble and labor.

i thought of making this because the price for the engine (k24/J30) would be the same here..

price of the labor wont be the same....k24 turbo and be happy.

i would.. but i dont want to spend more than 4k on swap..

if swap overhauls 4k i will turbo my D17

i can get the engine for very cheap..

suspension parts are what worries me..
