J30a1 turbo w/ TL tranny vs K20a3 turbo swap?

[Sonnick]

K20a3 turbo vs J30/2 turbo? You already have the J30, all you need to do is find a trans and boost. As Derek said, J32a.com has a whole bunch of good info, plus the parts you need. I believe there are 2-3 6MTs for sale right now. You would easily make high 3xx-4xx on a solid turbo setup.

it changes all the time and i keep a lot of it confidential. and no i am not spraying, my car has never had nitrous nor race gas in it. i owe most of it to aem ems v2 and a damn good tuner (John Visconti of EcuTek, famed GT-R Tuner). What I will say now is all honda oem parts except for some p2r gaskets, some ebay bolt ons, straight pipes, good cooling, and a good tune. my car is a bit of a freak it makes a lot more power and is a lot faster then it supposed to be.

~350whp on stock parts? Last I saw you were making ~300 on Chris Miller's dyno, the same dyno I made 272 on in my 3.0. How did you find an extra 50whp using OEM parts? Was this 346 on the same dyno?

And why the secrets man? The J series has tons of potential that has yet to be tapped. You have one of the highest, if not the highest HP all motor J I've seen. Keeping it a secret is just slowing the growth of the J IMO.

OP, have you decided what you are going to do?

 

[SiA01]

I'm pretty sure I have. Definitely stay with the j series. Although it would be nice to have the first or one of the very few k20 6th gen accords. I'm going to focus on locating a 6 speed and build the j30 or j32

 

[SykVSyx]

Build the J32, it's the better/more flexible route to go.

K20a3 is a joke....... Suprised Boone added that.

 

[OldNo7_CG2]

really depends on what motor is in your car now and if its daily or track car

 

[SiA01]

It's gonna be a daily driver for the most part. Occasional trips to the drag strip on weekends.

'hguzman' has a J32 that he has taken to the track.

There is also a thread on V6P that 'JCharged' made about he and hguzman at the track, so you can get an idea of what the J32 can do, as well as being a daily driver.

Our shops Dyno, M.R. Performance. I have a different motor and i was retuned by john Visconti. Still on 93 pump gas and its still a daily driver. Still all honda oem parts, same clutch, ect. The only things that differ from when i was on millers dyno to now is i blocked off the egr and i upgraded my radiator haha. I'm building my STi now so work on the accord is done.

So I've been looking into the swap and I can't for the life of me track down a 6 speed MT. Any ideas where to get one? I know they're rare.
