I've had my 99 ex v6 coupe for bout a year now, got it in dec n went through school wit it, its got a c.a.i. n a catback but now i want to start researching on how to go bout building my motor up n i was hoping someone had a good place for me to start?
also how difficult is it to convert an at to a stick in the 99 accord?

 

theres a lot of info about building up motors... just do a search.

auto to manual is harder on the 6th gen. youll need the cls 6spd tranny + custom wiring to get it to work with the accord ecu.

you can also do a j32 + 6spd swap, which is easier to get running with the cls ecu.

 

it'll cost a fortune.

it'll be more cost effective to trade in the accord and get a 6 speed CL.

 

:rofl: see my avatar.

anyway...

it's pointless to build up the J30A1 as it stands on your car, I'm telling you that right now. Bolt ons will give you maybe 10-15HP, a supercharger will give you a lot more...but you still have an automatic, and you'll kill it by adding any significant power. The tranny is extremely weak.

Putting in a CL Type-S 6 speed is a bitch and a half to do, and it's actually more time and cost effective to swap in the J32A2 with it. That's about $5-6k, and some custom fab mounts, if you can do it all yourself, and maybe a full 2-3 days of labor. So basically, start saving up for another car

FYI - the SRI adds more overall power to the J30A1 than the CAI.
