well ive been debating on which motor i want to put in my 97 accord wagon and i was wondering if the acura TL type-S v6 motor and tranny will fit correctly in it?

and anyone know where i could get one?


thanks

 

no,the engine bay isnt big enough to hold a v6

 

your wrong b/c there were 5th gen accords that came with v6's....

^0wned

 

the enginebay in those v6's are bit longer and wider.n00b ok thanks.
here take a lookhere

 

well i guess ya gotta get "owend"or whatever every once and again .after i reread the whole thing i guess it would work.

 

I believe the 3.2 V6 is also smaller than the 2.7 was. The 97-99 Acura CL (a gussied up Accord coupe) was able to fit a 3.0 just fine, and I don't believe the CL had the extended front end.

 

no it didnt they did make the j block smaller and in turn could fit in theory.but as wicked as it would be i think its a lot of scratch. i wish i had it to try with.

 

I think the CL did have a different engine bay then the 5th gen Accord. The exhasut B-pipe was longer, hinting the bay may be a tad wider in length for the 6.

If you own a 5th gen wagon an H22 would be a much easier fit, why re-invent the wheel, plus you can get a manual if you choose. For much less $$$

If you really want to spend the cash and go full out unique I would attempt to do a k-series from an RSX or TSX, but you would need to rewire the entire car and likely work with a shop with the skills like Hasport to custom make a set of mounts. not a small task.

I would either do a an F23A1 sohc Vtec form a 2.3 CL of your vintage built for nitrous or swap an H22, both would give you the added oomph and best bet for a daily driver.

 

yeah i want to do an h22 but those TL motors have nice torque and horsepower ...and i dont really care if its an auto or manual although i would prefer a manual i can do the conversion idk i just would love to put a v6 in it
