Default Turbo kit for 98+ Accord V-6s

Looks like these guys are seriously attempting to develop a turbo for V-6 Accords.

Yeah, Accord V-6s are only auto.

I don't know why Honda doesn't offer a 5 or 6 speed for the V-6. It would shave at least 1 second off of the 0-60.

The auto tranny is also apparently too weak to take more horsepower. So a turbo or supercharger would most likely cause problems unless the tranny is upgraded.

There's a rumor that Honda will offer a 6 speed in the next generation V-6 Accord and that it'll have at least 230hp and possibly upwards of 260hp.

It is most likely that we would see the next Accord V6 with some sort of manual transmission. They have already decided to introduce a 6-speed on the 3.2 CL Type S for next year, and that's a 260 HP engine. Next Accord V6 would have to move upwards with at least around 240 Hp I would guess. The Maxima is getting 260, and the Altima is also getting a 240 HP V6... so Honda would need to keep up with those numbers. Just my opinion..

All V6 Accords (coupe or sedan) have an automatic trans.
