I have a 2010 8th Gen, 61k miles, HFP kit, totally stock, it’s rock solid, mint and low maintenance… the best part, no car payment. What are people having to pay to drive a coupe, that looks nice and is fun to drive? As much as I would love to cruise down the road in something loud with 700hp that goes back to my old mopar days, the accord v6 coupes are grossly underrated IMO. Good luck with your coupe and as long as your happy, the hell,with any negative feedback. Majority of folks are driving SUV boats that look like ballon animals IMO anyway. All the best!

[@ceremyjlarkson9475]

@@Highlander1432 The 2016 Accord never came with a 9 speed, at least for the V6 engine. The V6 has a 6 speed manual and a 6 speed automatic as the two options if I recall correctly. The automatics are slower from their higher weight, marginally less efficient power transfer and longer gear ratios.

Similar mods?

[@Tr3ySw4g]

I literally have everything you named except my throttlebody comes off a 2015 TLX V6 with the P2R adapter, which is the same size as a 3.7 TB, my Intake manifold is custom ported and polished, I have the full length Injen CAI that goes under the battery behind the fog light, slotted fog light bezel so air can flow through it and I have PCDs instead of HFPC’s, only thing I’m missing is the ported intake runners and the crank pulley which I don’t think I’m doing the crank pulley. Custom 2.5” exhaust all the way back from RV6 J pipe. I’m in a 9G V6 sedan

[@MarkIV_Garage]

my mani is from halferland, its his stage 3 option, definitely get the p2r runners, runners are the most restrictive part of the stock intake system you will gain some top end forsure!

Love this build, Suprised to see its an 6AT not many people are modding them like you are unless its a 6MT i got a 2016 Accord Touring v6 Sedan, Just ordered the Borla Mufflers and Rv6 J pipe thinking about getting the HFPC next

[@MarkIV_Garage]

It's pretty unique for sure, checkout 4dp! He's got a similar 6at coupe build and posts more than me

[@MarkIV_Garage]

Also I'd do HFPC, intake, ktuner and then stop. That's 90% of ur gains and will make the car about as fun as it can get

[@dantemartinez8211]

@@MarkIV_Garage Thats exactly what I'm planning on, Then getting coil overs and the HFP kit

[@LUk3.M.]

HFPC and intake will negatively effect your low rpm/acceleration. The engine needs some restriction from the exhaust for ideal throttle response. Same reason why increasing your 2.5in diameter exhaust to 3in or more will effect your low rpm response and acceleration. It sounds like it would be better but its not. An intake is only good for sound on these cars. And minimal gains on the top end (ie: after youre already at speed) while also hurting your low end. But do what you want. @@dantemartinez8211

[@benledford2273]

i have a 2015 6mt amd love that thing. i have looked at maybe a cat delete, j-pipe, and cold air intake with a K-tune. i wonder if that would get me closer to 300? i see were someone said they make a supercharger adapter that goes on the top of the intake were those bolts are and you use a gm SC out of like a pontiac G6 or something like that. I dont know what they are getting...but aparantly there is a ton of stuff for my J35Y2 (thankfully mine doesnt have VCM). you got a nice setup. have you done any quarter mile or 0-60 test?

[@Totalwarguy22]

I installed the mods based on your recommendation with almost everything from RV6 and I appreciate your insight. Just minus HFPC and K-Tuner What are your opinions on the rv6 straight cut 3rd/4th gear set?

[@MarkIV_Garage]

Get HFPC and a HTS tune before anything else, also those straight cut gears are good for 6mt cars but u don't need them unless you're turbo or supercharged

[@jonathanwilliams9612]

I’m at 272 to the wheels without, the crank pulley, manifold and throttle body, and lower intake manifold. I think once I get all that tuned to 93 octane I’ll be a bit over 300 to the wheel especially since I plan of getting 18x9 by 35mm wheels and bc coils with a progress sway bar beforehand to make sure I can put down the power. What do y’all think?
