This V6-Swapped Acura Integra Wants To DESTROY Itself

[@JJB-92]

Man oh man! This teggy was part of our crew for the longest time. It was owned by my buddies uncle who got it from a dude that use to street race. It got impounded and sat on the farm for years while we beat the crap out of it. After a couple years our buddy Ilia bought it from another buddy and brought it back to life, but then sold it to I think its current owner. The car was boosted and all prior to the farm days, but that was all pulled and caused it to run like shit. Crazy this thing is still around! Same faded rear type r seats and front leathers! Even the faded carbon hood and orginal rims! I remember driving it around Colebrook roads back in the day!

I was a huge K guy believing k was the way and it belonged in everything. Having built/owned an awd turbo rsx and awd turbo k crx…and now owning a j em1..I now understand the hype of the j.

[@enhancementtank5876]

If the k series like the j series was 3.0 to 4.0 liters it would be like a motor from heaven

[@itsjussjerry]

@@enhancementtank5876 would be should be..lol. Still a great motor and I will still build them, but I understand the J. Honestly for booster applications the k is great but NA the j is good

[@ramonbriones4487]

K is definitely the way my man

[@chaseteter]

@@itsjussjerryK24/K20 combo can make as much NA as the J and the install is more straightforward. Aftermarket support is several levels up too.

[@JamesAnderson-fw5ew]

@@chaseteterthe j series also sits really low on swaps and does t really work as a street car

[@robertsothmann8110]

If I remember correctly, the J is a 60 degree v-6 and the C (Acura Legend and NSX) is a 90 degree v-6. The J32 heads are awesome and the narrower V and less bulky heads allow it to fit into so many places that a DOHC engine can't. Makes the same power at least as well.

[@Firen81]

Some versions are 300+ hp

[@andydhillon1977]

The 1st Gen Legend and 5th Gen Accord 2.7L V6s share the same block as the NSX.

Great to know I'm about to swap my stuff over from my tl over to my old hatch

[@chowchow4558]

I been told people that the J-Series is a beast engine! Anyone who has never drove a TL does not know! Put a supercharger in the J series and it rips

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

7:55 The thing is, its actually only a tiny bit heavier than a K series swap. Vtec Academy weighed a couple j series and k series side by side. You would think it would be a lot heavier bit it really isnt. Gotta figure, one has a timing chain, one a belt, they both have only 2 cams.. both 5/6 speed ect. You can get an intake manifold for them that is magnesium and flows better (or as good as the 3.5 and 3.7) That saves an additional 7 lbs and gains 7-10hp.

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

14:45 something like that, depending on whats attached ect..

[@AaronHendu]

Wonder if that motor would fit under the hood of a Prelude better. The last version of the Prelude should have came OEM with this or similar, imo. It would have sold better in NA. It would have essentially been a sportier option to the V6 Accord coupe. You could get a Trans Am or Camero back then with a V8 for not much money. Not many people wanted a 2.2L Vtec fwd sports car. Nowadays....

[@jessebb193]

It does fit 🎉

[@docskiDev]

Is it possible to do this without needing to cut out the hood? I hear about the hasport mounts, kinda expensive.. but i saw someone complaining about the oil pan being too low.. curious about the jackspania mounts, cheaper but, not sure if they allow the engine to sit low..

[@brainc0la-_-]

For real though, is the J series that much fun?

[@Sprier]

November 22, I got a j37 sh awd tl with the manual, also having a modded Mazdaspeed6 the stock j37 absolutely blew me away. I haven't ever driven a swapped car but the hype of wheel spin and the pleasing intake/exhaust notes I think the hype is real for these lighter cars. The TL just too heavy in the long run

[@chaseteter]

The J32 in my old TL-S would hit very high notes when you revved it out. That is a car that liked to rev almost as much as my GSR which just blew my mind because it was big and comfortable in comparison. Those fantastic cars were cursed by their feeble transmissions, otherwise they would still be everywhere.

[@ft9racing183]

I had a 2012 hfp accord with a j35 six speed one of the most fun cars I ever owned

[@williamlevy1981]

Honda guys know you can build a sweet manual CL easily. There's plenty of aftermarket J series parts available.

Looks like it's more of a beater. Someone in the comments said they know the car and it used to be a farm car that got beat to hell and back. Not sure how true it is though.

[@Yayabinks]

Bro just goes hard it’s like 60 more pounds over a k swap

[@Sunofsovereign]

There is no reason the civic, integra, rsx and tlx should not have a J series. I feel like Honda never goes hard enough. The Acoord, Prelude, Legend/TL could have/should have been beasts in their own right.

[@stepbromlbb]

Makes me miss my J swap . Mines still down

[@enhancementtank5876]

The NSX engine was 90 degree more common to performance and luxury while the j series was 60 degrees common among consumer products and appliances

[@ImportAl]

That's just not true. 90 degree is the common default amongst all V engines, 6, 8, 10, 12. Narrow-banked angle V engines were more common with exotics. Honda Js did it for packaging and weight.

[@bobcantstandzyobitz9778]

I had a 97 integra 5spd, I would have loved to do this.

[@999Lucas]

How long have they been using the J? A lot of people love those motors. Theyre cheap and you can open up the intake and cam duration a lot to make great power with the drawback being having to go standalone to go above 300hp or so. If youre already dealing with a roller, its not a bad option and luckily there is a little more support for the motor now.

[@jessebb193]

I dont agree they are cheap and finding the 6 speed transmission is difficult as well
