Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

all J series do. The 7th gen has a j30 actually. j32 is the Acurta TL/Honda Odyssey engine, and the J35 is what the 8th and 9th gen Accords have.

ah. 7th gen is hard to find I bet..

 

oh and you forgot the  Acura CL type S has the J32 as well..

 

Did they make a manual accord sedan with the V6? This might sound crazy but I kinda want a sedan.. as this would be a daily and I already have a 2 door car that can't carry people

yeah, but the CL and TL are basically the same car.

 

The only accord v6 manual sedans are for MY 2006 and 2007. They're pretty rare, but I see them around. The guy who bought my stock wheels from me had one.

 

If you want a sedan, you'd probably be better off looking for a TL then. that'll have the 3.2 or 3.5, but it has the same transmission and an LSD. MPGs will be a little less though since it's more or less the same car with a bigger engine and more weight.

Yeah. I’m definitely considering a TL when the accord kicks the bucket or I get to need 4 doors.

What saddens me more is the Japanese domestic market. Not so much the nicer engines, more powerful, its all OK

Its those little 3v Diahatsus (or whatnot spelling) with turbos. Like a box on wheels but people worship them.

Well glad to say that I got all the wiring sorted in the GT4 and the interior all reassembled successfully.  Gave it a wash and diluted the 1/4 tanks of 3 year old91 that was in there with a half tank of fresh 94.

 

I miss the sound of the car so much its almost painful just driving around burning off the old tank of gas after driving my auto silverado for the longest time its a pleasure to get behind a turbo manual again.

 

Still need to do an oil change,The thing hold a lot because its got a filter relocation kit/thermostat and an aftermarket air/air oil cooler that takes significantly more than stock to fill.

 

video of sweet turbo sounds.
