V6 in a Lude...True or BullSh!tz?

What up Luders...

A guy, that works in the same building as I do mentioned that his "BOY" had a 94'Prelude with an Accord v6 Engine...He didn't know what year Accord the v6 engine came out...He claimed that his boy did little to no mods to fit that powerhouse in his lude...

I saw the lude, it looks nice, It even had a litttle v6 emblem, but I have yet to look under the hood.

I asked to see the engine, he said after work...he got out around 9:30pm...so at 9o'clock I got out of work and his lude was gone..."Maybe he was hiding something or hiding nothing"

I guess the question is...Can this be done?

If it can be done, why isn't it done more often?

Why would you want the Accord V6 when the H22A makes the same power, better to mod, and comes in a manual?

that sounds stupid. i think it can be done, for the j30a but i dunno about the j27. i think that would fit easily in the lude but 30 hp less. for the j30 he needed to make a lot of mods to the car to have it fit

WTF would someone do that for? The ludes are already pretty heavy. That fat V6 won't help much. Not to mention, limited to no mods.

Yep. I've seen a 302 swapped in there. They actually make kits for that shit. Ever since I saw it, I check for rear differentials before I line with a focus.

i wonder how the chassis is gonna take that. the focus chassis looks like it's easy to bend but i won't put my hand on that. i've seen a fierro with a big chevy in it ( not very informed on domestics) and the frame twisted :o

You sir, are a tool.

First:

Second: It's VTEC, not V-TECH. No Hyphen, no h.

Third: The only JDM H23 is the DOHC VTEC (no H in VTEC) out of the Accord SiR Wagon, and it is rated at 200ps, which is equivalent to 197HP, which is the same rating as the JDM H22A. The JDM H22A found in the Type-S is rated at 220ps, which is about 217HP. All power ratings are at the crank.

Fourth: The USDM H23 (the DOHC non-VTEC) is better for F/I than the H22 when using stock internals. The compression is slightly lower, and the slightly larger displacement is also a plus.

It's easy to search online for specs, but once all the mods are done, it all comes down to the size of the driver's balls....
