J Series

As new-model engine bays become smaller, and consumer power demands continue to increase, automakers are relying on V6 power now more than ever before. Because the engine uses three cylinders on each bank to turn a common crank, many V6 engines are only marginally larger than the more popular inline four, and much narrower in comparison to the inline six. Honda utilizes a 60 degree V6 for their J series, which is the most efficient cylinder bank for a compact size and vibration resistance; requiring no balance shafts. Though Honda enthusiasts who purchased a V6-powered CL or TL were never treated to a large number of options from the aftermarket, that may soon change with the buzz surrounding V6 Civic and Integra swaps currently heating up.

amazing engineering to get a V6 to work in an EK chassis - but prob drives like a pig.

I cant see anything 'hot rod' about it though apart from stuffing the big donk into a little chassis..

who will be the first to do a V6 civic in Australia ? LMFAO !

It's possible to get the hood closed too. Just needs a bit more work with the mounts for both EG's and EK's. DC2's seem to get away with it a bit easier.

There's an article here (http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2495460) on Honda-Tech. The info on that coupe I posted is about halfway down.
