6th Gen Accord Coupe Build

[puzzlemaster94]

Here I am again not posting progress.

First off, J32 6speed swap is done. If you are interested in the breakdown of the parts, here it is:

Engine:
J32a2 out of a 02 Acura CL Type S Auto
--Around 80k on the motor
Parts to Convert it to a Manual Engine:
--Manual CL Type S Engine Harness
--Manual CL Type S Front Cam Gear
--Manual CL Type S Front Cam Gear Plate
----Reason for this, the manual motors use two cam sensors, auto only uses one.
--Manual CL Type S Crankshaft Gear
--Manual CL Type S Crankshaft Sensor
--Manual CL Type S Crankshaft Sensor Sub-Harness
----Reason for this, the automatic sensor will not work with the new gear or plug into the manual engine harness. Also the manual sensor is just a plug and harness, while is the auto is all connected.
J37 Intake Manifold Upgrade
--J35 Top Plate (Says Honda instead of Acura and has no butterfly valve plate)
--P2R Throttle Body Adapter for J32a2 Throttle Body
--J32a2 Throttle Body
Innovative 60A Engine Mounts
CL Type S Manual Flywheel
P2R EGR Block off Plate


ECU:
Manual CL Type S ECU
Manual CL Type S Dash Harness Plug mated to Accord dash harness
--This connector is called Connector "E" on the CL Type S
--Accord dash harness Connector "A" is what you want to wire it to (one that goes into the stock ECU)

Transmission:
2003 V6 6Speed Accord Transmission
--80k miles
7th Gen Accord Shifter
CL Type S shifter cables
CL Type S Shift Cables Stay
2003 Accord V6 Manual Starter
Manual CL Type S Shift Boot
03 CL Type S Transmission Mounts
03 CL Type S Master Cylinder
03 CL Type S Slave Cylinder
98-02 Accord Pedals
Exedy Accord V6 6Speed Clutch Kit
CL Type S Manual Trans Crossmember
Stock V6 Automatic Axles

Miscellanous Other Parts:
CL Type S Manual Fusebox

Maintenance:
Timing Belt
Water Pump
Front Main Seal
Rear Main Seal
Axle Seals
Intake Manifold Gasket
Exhaust Manifold Gaskets
Throttle Body Gasket
Timing Belt Tensioners
Spark Plugs

Parts Not Being Used:
CL Type S Auto Engine Harness
CL Type S Manual Dash Harness
J32a2 Intake Manifold
Auto J32a2 Front Cam Gear
--This has smaller surface areas than the manual gear, so the manual sensor will not read it correctly.


Other than that, here is a few more pictures. I'll try to keep this forum updated with the others as well.

Well it's been a while again.

Grabbed some BC's and went lower, bought side skirts and a rear lip, installed my roof spoiler, and a few other odds and ends. Here's how it sits before I get the front camber I need for clearance in the front.

Yes I do! That's the homie we've been friends for years now. My sedan is wrecked right now so it's just sitting.

That was my build thread for it. I'm currently working on a ford probe gt right now but will tend to the accord when I'm done with the probe.

Yea, Ive seen that thread. Probably commented in it too lol. Shaun on here has a 2G probe bagged on VS-KF's, but I'm sure that you've seen that already.

Another friend of mine has a 2G Probe also, but it has the JDM KL-ZE in it. Pretty fun car while it was running around.



Also ordered what I hope to be the last remaining parts for this swap. Also debating on machining up some 3/8 OR 1/2 inch spacers for the motor mounts to raise the motor just a bit, since the J32 oil pan hangs down 5/8's of an inch more, compared to my J30. I should have the added romm, since I replaced the J32 manifold with a J37 manifold

Thanks man. I'm trying



You know Jordan too? Yea, I wanted the Rotiforms he had on his RSX, but he sold them before I had the chance. I did buy the tires off him though. Yea, I've hung out with him a few times and bought parts off him. Post some pictures of your sedan. I've really wanted to do a sedan build, as I can swap most of my parts that I'm not using on the coupe to a sedan.

Radical build, really excited to see where you go from here.

Your car is very well put together, I like all of the design choices you've made thus far. I have a huge appreciation for tidy, well thought out Honda builds.

Thanks man!!! I've loved you're Prelude build. Still have it? Love those 5th Gens and that green. Big fan of the M3 build also.

Well picked up a few more parts for the swap. Probably more coming too. But today I tried to take the old mounts out of the crossmember for the trans I bought, both bolts broke off in the crossmember. So gotta get those out and put the new mounts.

those wheels are so nice dammnnn!

I love love this car! I currently have a sedan in the same color outside and interior. I'm definitely subscribed to this as Hondas will always be my first love. Wheels look great my friend Jordan had nues on his rsx and surprisingly he lived in Louisville Kentucky too you might know him.

Drove to the car to WBTB 2016. Ordered my parts and realized a I need a few more. Parts are arriving every few days lol

So lip kit is here and every swap part I should need is on the way. Teardown will probably start in a few weeks. Gonna have to drive it one last time before it goes under the knife.

But that gives me time to get the kit painted, powdercoat the calipers, and fix a few little things with it.

[JRodigan]

Let me know when you wanna start the tear down. I wanna help.

[puzzlemaster94]

Well, I'll update this thing once again. First, I have almost every part to do this swap. Only thing left is my intake manifold and my axles. Along with some little bits and pieces stuff. Getting very close to tear down time.

Haven't really been driving it this winter, since I have my daily S10. This thing has been an absolute champ, tearing it through the various snowfalls. All while being 2WD and open diff.

But as for the Accord, it has a lip kit on it's way. That'll finish up my kit.

She's getting there, slowly, but surely.
