I just purchased a 1996 accord EX V6 with the 2.7 i was wondering if it was v-tec or not and what kind of forced induction kits can you buy for this car? thanks

No. And there's absolutely nothing worth buying for that motor, the tranny will blow quickly. If you had wanted to modify your car heavily you should've gotten the 4 cylinder model to swap an H22A/H23 into.

I agree completely. The V6's are great and all, but not good for a turbo/sc addition. My buddy tried it with his V6 and it did not go over well at all.

yes, as far as I know for the 1995, I am assuming they are all the same. But it involes minor (maybe a little more then minor) custom work. There are only 2 5 speed swaped V6s I know of.
the trans is from the 88-91 (sort of guessed those years but its around there somewhere) acura legend.
"cowgod" is someone who has done this swap and documented it quite well might I add.

Sorry bro
only the 4cyl EX model stocked VTEC for the 5th gen accords.
As previously stated, you do have options, but they can be a little pricey.
Best thing to do is swap on the manual tranny from a Acura legend. I remember a link on how to do that somewhere, I'll see if I can find it

But I do concure with the over all theme here.

It's true man, it's true :chuckles: The C27 is a POS compared to an H, F or J series engine.

I would much rather have the 96-99 CL, it's still a somewhat stretched 5th gen Accord to fit the J-series I think. But the chassis was at least consistent between the 2.2/2.3 and 3.0 CLs. The CL would be the better 6 to tweak IMO.
My dream 5th gen would still be a sub 25,000mi 1997 2.2 EX Wagon 5-spd though.
