Is it true that the accords are faster then the civics stock?I know they just came out with a 2007 or 2008 accord that comes stock with 268 horses and i havent seen a civic thats faster then the older accord either ?Any help?
 
Well, the engine list will help some, but you have to consider also that a typical Accord will be significantly heavier than a typical Civic. The main thing you'll notice from the Accord engines is that they have quite a bit more torque than the Civic engines. This is necessary to get the heavier Accords moving.

As to your original question, yeah, I think a lot of the Accords, in stock form, are actually a bit quicker than the Civics, the V6 Accords especially. And you're right about the 08 Accord being hella quick. I've heard that it's actually a bit faster than the S2000. This is the V6 model though, with the 6 speed transmission. Obviously a four cylinder automatic isn't going to be anywhere near that fast.
 
yah thanx for your help your a big help when i start to put my engine in you think you can help me if i run into problems?
 
if you can't find help in the search forums, SOMEONE on here will be able to help you :) what exactly are you planning on doing?
 
im doin a engine swap on my motor because i have 225,000 miles on the stock 2.2 but it still runs strong but i dont want to chance it so im goin to a f20a dohc non vtec and it should be coming in a week or so and yes i made a mistake i wanted to go with a vtec 1 but i thought it was a vtec and it wadsnt but i already paid for it so cant change it now you no? but im just going with a f20a...idc wat people say about it thats where im at rite now so if you can help me out that would be greatly appreciated thanx
 
Gotcha. Well I assume that you have a 92 lx, so you're basically doing a motor replacement more than anything, correct?
 
i like the f20a myself you dont see them much and its nice to have something no one else does, 150hp and 137 torque
