H22 is a pretty common swap, although you can turbo the stock to a point and get away with it too... If you want unique, and have time, try a G23. I've seen it done, and if my car wasn't a daily driver, I might play with it. It seems overall gains from that to begin with aren't that great, but if you're going for unique, that would definately be it. I don't think the 7th gen v6 6-speed would be possible (or worth it)... Same with putting in a 6th gen v6 in my opinion unless your car came with it.

You could also get V6 in the sedans for 6th gens, its not just a coupe thing.

It would depend on your budget. I've seen about anything done if you've got the dough and the skills...

oh yeah not many people know this, but... 6th gen v6 coupes and sedans have the same engine, honda just designed the coupe to "look" faster to save money.[

G23 is a F23 with a H22/H23 DOHC head... The whole point is that the stock f23 block can be replaced for cheap, and the DOHC head is better? for turbo and building...

Clicky
