    Engine Swap Questions

    Age old saying: Start with the 5-speed swap.

    adding 6th gear

    Yeah because 5th gear is not tall enough on the F23 tranny so just slap another one on there. I won't be happy until my engine revs at 600 rpm when I'm doing 80 mph.:ugh:

    And so it is completed!... 6 speed swap.

    Re: And so it begins... 6 speed swap. ^^^^ Changaroo, are you saying that's expensive or a reasonable price? Very hard to tell from your post. Seems like a fair price to me. People have easily spent twice that at other shops doing the 6-speed swap.

    my whizzy v.homegrown

    I'm very impressed. That is a really classy car. It's understated yet makes a statement at the same time. Mostly I am just jealous that you have a 2 bay garage at your disposal, and which you can take over completely for projects. You mentioned school. Is that your parents garage?

    And so it is completed!... 6 speed swap.

    Re: And so it begins... 6 speed swap. Everybody just take a chill pill talking about discounts and if it were my car I'd blah blah blah. This is custom work, not changing brake pads! To the shop owner my one piece of advice is to stop promising a certain delivery date, and perhaps wait...

    Finally Got My Car Back!

    If it was a 95 or older Accord this would be a good point since dropping an H22A is so easy. But it's a 6th gen for goodness sake! There are no easy swaps, and especially not for a mechanic that took 2 weeks with a straight F23. Let the guy be happy with his upgrade to vtec for a couple...

    FAF Skyline Stolen

    Even if it is just for show how do you not have insurance. What if the trailer gets t-boned by a Mack truck on the way to the show? And how "secure" is it if the security guards don't notice these aholes ramming into a bmw coming out of a room that is usually locked.

    That's bonkers son, bonkers. You definitely picked the right user name in Moneypit. Car is a sexy beast no doubt.

    Good bye to my 6thgenaccord

    cam gear settings

    ^^^^ Thanks, but that's not quite right. The end quote should actually appear after the period. This is too fun. I am natural born grammar police. By no means should that imply I believe myself a perfect writer. I just notice things, and despise made up words. "Irregardless" is...

    You wrote, "You are sentence structure is appalling." If you're going to chastise someone else for poor grammar, first be sure your own is sound. It's that whole "people in glass houses" adage.:coffee:

    Need help with exhaust system

    What brand is it?

    Need some help with H23...

    Too many miles, could very well be down on power from your F23, and just totally not worth the hassle. Best starting place for you would be a 5 speed swap. You will still be slow, but at least you won't totally suck.

    Engine Internals

    Well if you want to run the Comptech SC, you should add at least a tranny cooler as insurance. Keep the boost low and don't abuse it. It may last for a bit. Then again it may not. The 6GA V6 auto is a notorious weak spot.:boohoo:
