    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Well, I can appreciate not wanting to do too much, kept my TLS pretty mild too : Clutchmasters stage 1 clutch (stock one is horrible), 3" generic CAI and Endless RPM jpipe. I will say, I had no noticeable gains with the j-pipe. My conclusion was that the stock pre cats are the limiting factor...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Wow, some activity. And here I thought this site was dormant. Rev hang is a thing with the j37 dbw tb upgrade. But, ktuner can pretty much take care of it. I have ktuner 91 octane flash on my 8th gen accord with pcds, j pipe, j37 manifold, j37 tb and CAI. It's not that fast compared to my...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Been awhile since been on here. Wanted to share that I finally got the motor professionally tuned by Xact Dyno in Phoenix. Made 289.6whp/260tq on pump 91. The numbers honestly disappointed me (was hoping for 300whp). The tuner blamed the cat for being too restrictive and I also found out...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    @RedRyder, I can relate. I've had 3x 6th gen accords of which the remaining (01 coupe) has been with me 10 years. About two years ago I was looking for a newer ride for the wife which would make for 6 cars between the two of us. I pondered getting rid of the 6G then. But, like you said I...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Haven't been on here in a while, but just found this thread. There are not many 2G CLs around, esp 6MT. Matter fact, my coworker who bought by rolling 03 CLS chassis actually just got in an accident today. My 6GA is rocking a new CLS block with J35A8 crank, bc rods, ported heads and more...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Thanks. Honestly I hardly drive it now due to the amount of fuel it uses. But, yeah the loss of immediate torque is noticeable. Once it hits vtec I feel the power surge. I could run a vtec killer setup, but more likely will eventually run a GT3582 or similar turbo. Under boost is...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    :tumbleweed: Been a while since I've been on here. In case anyone happens upon this thread someday, a few things have transpired: Chassis wiring, airbags, dash, gauges and climate control were swapped to CL Type S. Mounted A/F Ratio & Temp guages to A pillar. Picked up 2G TL navi dash bezel...

    K24 Swap

    Brian at Hasport recently replied to someone asking about kswap mounts for 6ga on youtube (vtecacademy). He basically said yeah that they need to get that chassis (to make the mounts). I'm 2hrs from their shop, so I jokingly offered my cg3. Doubt he replies, they're always busy doing civic...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    few updates, have about 300 miles on the j35. runs smooth but not as responsive as I expected with all the port work. I'm convinced the stock j32a2 throttle body is pretty inadequate for a 3.5. Anyways 76mm blox was out of stock, so picked a 74mm skunk2 throttle body. The current RL manifold has...

    K24 Swap

    right, funny I see a lot of k builds on civics, rsx, tsx, etc. Just can't seem to get interested. Not that I don't like newer motors or tech, have a TLX Aspec v6, with ktuner flashed ecu. Would never get the k24, but the newer 2.0T that has potential. Anyways enough of my rambling... To the...

    K24 Swap

    stock to stock sure. 2.4 is obviously bigger displacement and usdm h22 motors had relatively low compression. But, consider that you can easily use the money needed to adapt a k toward building the motor or running a power adder. I managed 199.2 whp NA on a h22. Nothing to brag about but...

    K24 Swap

    what's the reasoning behind k24 as opposed to h23 or h22 that essentially uses all the same mounts. flash capable tuning? I've seen one guy on youtube who had a turbo k series in a 4th gen prelude. he said it wasn't easy. seems like a lot of hassle to do fully custom mounting. not to mention...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    So right after work, swapped around the coils with some spares. No change. Picked up some ngk coppers (4291) from local parts shop & gapped to factory spec... good to go. idles smooth and drives good. put 10 miles so far just around the neighborhood. tested vtec just a bit, works fine. plan to...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    New motor started up on the first try. sounds like a beast with the ported heads and runners. took a while to bleed coolant. seems to have a slight misfire, but no chk eng light yet. it did have a slight miss that the last time i drove on the old motor, but i figured it was just the tired...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Hybrid 3.5L starting to come together. Valves are all installed, took forever... Those ARP head studs seemed more difficult to torque than the H series, Guess because its 2 heads, 2 times the studs. Taking a break since I misplaced my new knock sensor. Ported runners are just loosely in...

    F20b swap + F23a Tranny = ???

    Sad, but true. They hey day of 6th gens has come and gone. I'm on my 3rd 6th gen and i've had it since 2013, its had maybe 4 or 5 engines from all my prior exploits. I used to live in japan and its common for auto trans to be on their cars. Even still when my 99 at went out i welcomed the...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Update, finally got some time to pull the old motor out, and disassemble to transfer hardware, covers, etc to the new heads and block. The new block is.mostly together. Had to get a different style valve spring compressor, so was delayed assembling the heads. Pistons are Halferland's and...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Hey Bense, like $1300 shipped. Wasnt that good of condition cosmetically. Lot of oxidation and some corrosion from salt air. last one i got was like $1100 in 2016, it was much better condition and came with a harness, ecu and alternator. Inflation and scarcity i guess. Here's a cleaned up...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    So, the h23 bluetop got refreshed, painted and dropped in the prelude a few weeks ago. Runs pretty good for 20+ yr old motor. Got another shipment of J series parts: p2r ported P8E heads with bronze guides, ported lower runners, supertech int valves, ferrea exh valves and crower forged rods...

    Jdm h23a vtec blue top swap guide

    hardly anyone comes in here anymore. you cant just drop in a prelude at trans. but f23 and h22 have similar bolt pattens. just use the stock trans or do a 5 spd swap. ive done at least 2 auto to manual swaps and 3 f to h swaps. manual is much more reliable long term.

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    So quick update, got a brand new 1st gen J series block. It's not stamped j32, but its the same part number that acura uses for 03 cls block currently in the car. Plan to pull the heads and have bronze valve guides as well. Before I do that I'm pulling my built h22 block from 00 prelude...

    2000 Accord F23A4 won’t start

    If you're any good with wiring and schematics, find the wiring diagram for the starter circuit. Check for power on the main power relay contacts, and the starter relay when the key is set to on, not start. the power relays are prone to cracking at the solder points. some re-solder, but...
