Default v6 or H22

I have a 96 accord v6 automatic, Wanted to know if anybody had any solid advise about swapping out the engine for an h22, just modifying my current engine or just purchase a 5 speed and throw a h22 in it. Also thinking about a turbo kit at some point. Any advise?

buy another car. the H22 into a V6 is not like a 4 banger swap. i doubt there are any turbo kits for the V6, though i'm sure a shop can do a custom setup which is better. then your weak link is the auto tranny. you can swap in a 5sp from an older legend or build the auto. either way your looking at dropping some serious cake, may as well just trade the car in for a 97-01 5sp prelude if want an H22 that bad.

the 96 didnt have vtec, i dont believe.. if you want a straight line car, find a t4 turbo and mod a tranny to fit

then again, just get another car

why not just buy a prelude with an H22.
I mean its not like the accord is light. They pretty much both weigh about the same.
