never seen this before, didnt even know such a thing was out there



a 5 cylinder honda motor wtf a g25a out of a acura vigor

 

yessir the vigors 5cyl

i was reading an old post a few weeks ago and some dude called acura and said there was a misprint saying the acura had 5 cyl, and the sales man said nope, its accurate, and the OP tryed to own the salesman when really he pwn3d himself.

 

its a good reliable motor too, my dad had a vigor, put about 300k in that car over 10 years or so

 

300k! damn i still see some of them rollin around

 

I remember that thread... I hate to do this, but it was Nbennetksu that managed to do that.

good thing you didnt call Acura and try to tell them they forgot to put a 6th cylinder.

 

you have the Vigor and the first gen 2.5TL
that engine didn't last long in the market though
i wonder why

 

I know that because of the design the 5 cylinder could never run as smooth as engines with an even number of cylinders, (I-4, v-6). It seems as though it just didn't really catch on since they could get more power and about the same fuel economy out of a v-6. I know that some European manufacturers used, and may still use a 5 cylinder engine, like Saab and I think Volvo did too.

 

Would be a neat CL swap, too bad everything is on the wrong side for our trans.

 

lol the motor is rotated 90 dergrees from ours, good luck stuffing that in there.

 

a good reliable motor but the most retarded design of a drive train. my mechanic had one on the hoist for an oil pan.
the driveshaft goes through the oil pan to a differential then the axles go to the wheel hubs. such a PITA to work on.

 

not really!!!
i think we should see a K24 swap done then a vid how a H22 :wip: it

 

5 cyl ftl

 

I'd be fun in a dune buggy... With turbo on it of course

 

yeah but on a similar note, those 94/95 legend type 2 coupes were sweet ass rides.

 

i still wanna make a street buggy with my rotting 93 accord. with a turbo of course.

 

no naws on the buggy?

 

umm yeah...that's not gonna happen. H's are nice, but K24's are strong too. it would be a heads up race. Unless the H is seriously modded the it would have the advantage, or the K24 has a k20 head and rsx-s tranny, then its bye bye H22.

 

I wanna do the same with my dad's CB7

 

i have a really nice f22a in mine.

 

If I can't figure out what is up with the trans in the accord, in goes a small block. I don't even care if it's pretty.

 

what do u think is the best motor to run in a cb7 anyway? since you've had more experience with them than me n all.

 

oh just search through my posts from like a year ago, i'm sure my opinion on this is well documented.

let's just say i see no reason to throw away a perfectly good motor that loves boost.

if i can't find the time to build a street buggy for it i'll probly drop mine into an EK hb.

 

i like the way you think.

 

They're reliable, sound really nice with a cold air intake (somewhat like a pissed off Integra motor) and they love to rev.

Honda originally wanted to put a 5 cylinder in the S2000 but instead put in a four.

Main issue is cost, Honda had a lot of engine designs and types going on at the time, now they've got just a few that can all share parts.

 

hey screw you guys, I just didnt know there was a V5

 

lol

 

the chevy colorado/GMC canyon have 5 cylinder engine options

 

H3 has the 5 cylinder as well.

 

LMFAO!
@ Bennet's avy!

 

haha i didnt notice that

comical

 

Yup. Bennet is amazing. Nuff said.

 

not a V-5 though, but an inline 5 V shaped engines are only possible with even numbers of cylinders.

 

Audi had the first I5. bangin engine as well. ran forever, awesome tq + power curve..

 

I think the Audi 100 was the first in the late 70's, dunno for sure though.

 

and

That is why AUDI slaughtered everyone in the world rally races...wicked power with smooth power curve coupled to a bullit proof AWD

 

Unless you count weird motorcycle engines.. such as Honda's V5.. i think it was in the RC211V

 

^^^I miss watching the AMA races with Nicky Hayden, that bike was insane

 

ugh. the origanol Audi s1 Quattro



ridiculous looking, but an amazing piece of machinery. id hit it.

 

I am SO doing that front end conversion
