they are 6 cylinder motors. Its a 3.5L motor, thats why they aren't swaped into the civics. they are also used in the Saturn Vues. But GM calls them like Y25 or somethings. I have one question, would it be possible to take the superchargers and other misc. things off the Red Line Vue and put it on the accord, pilot, odyssey, etc. to make them a "factory" supercharged motor? My guess they only difference would maybe the ECM/PCM.

Honda played a nasty little trick on them though by making the tranny upshift 500 or so RPM short of redline, so it's no faster than a Pilot even with a ton less weight :chuckles:
