I know this is a civic forum, but i am thinking of doing an Accord project but i don't know what type of engine swap to do. I don't want a 2 door accord but i want to do a 4 door sleeper with maybe a turbo and NOS, but i am not sure yet. I wanted to know what a good motor to put in the car and what type of sh*t to do to the motor, and i was also wondering if they make shift kits for automatics. I would appreciate the input.</P>

how much are you willing to dump into this project? a four door is so heavy, you are gonna have to build that thing out to make it go anywhere. but if you want to make it really go then check out the acura cl-s swap with the 6 speed.</P>

If you are really looking to do a mad Honda Accord project, you need to look at not only changing the engine but turning it into rear wheel drive for some real power, there is this motor called the 1jzgte it isnt in America you can find it in Australia but it isnt hard at all to find i have had a buddy do it to his supra, as for making it to a 6 speed manual i would look at the Acura CL-S swap as Slim stated above, it is about the only transmission i have heard to fit, i had a buddy do it to his 2003 Accord. Now this is only a start for speed, that engine can have 1 huge 35lb turbo or a twin turbo put into it, wither way you "sleeper" would def. be wide awake at all times.

Turbo H22 with a 50 or 75 shot! The auto should be switched to a 5 speed if possible. I don't know if they make shift kits for autos but the domake racetorque converters for autos. </P>
A front to rear wheel conversion would cost more than the car and motor..</P><edited><editID>ntxmotorsports</editID><editDate>38124.8971180556</editDate></edited>

The motor was about 2,500 the shift kit conversion i am not too sure on the price though i can ask my buddy, but i think it is something around the 1,000 to the 1,500. I really think that motor is the way to go on any type of motor swap for power. Stock 280 horses to the wheels man, cant beat it.
