- In this video i break down what you actually need to do the complete J32a3 swap in your 7th gen (03-07) honda accord v6.
-In order to complete the swap you'll need a J32a3 from a 3rd gen Acura TL (04-08)
-you can use the both the j32a3 manual and automatic transmission, or j30a4 manual transmission.
** if you have a Accord V6 from 03-05 you'll need to use the a j32a3 from a 04-06 Acura Tl, because on the 07 and 08 Acura Tl Honda change the bell housing. You need make sure you get the right year or your engine and transmission won't mate up correctly.
If you guys have any questions make sue you hit me up on Instagram @jseries__shawn.
03-07 Accord share the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the 04-06 TL.
The bellhousing bolt pattern changed in 08 for the Accord, and 07 in the TL.
Thanks for giving us j-series the info we need when it comes to swap and fitness, i got the 06 6spd v6 accord still going strong. Future project would be going 06-08 tl so i can mate it to my transmission with little to no trouble following your steps and info, mr. Shawn ur the man.
Appreciate the support bro
@J-Series Shawn I have an 07 accord v6 auto, what engine should I look for to do a jswap, and can I just swap a j series engine and tranny Into my accord ?
Got 2 6-6 ... 04 and 14 💀... I can’t let the 04 go .. I just can’t 😩
I really want to do this swap on my TSX, the cars are so similar it can totally be done.
Accurate info, clean car. The new motor sounds very quiet idling which is great. Only think I disagree with is the federal 595. Would go for the general g max RS for a very similar price. And less road noise than the federals
Those tl wheels look sweet on your accord. I have an 03 civic, but was offered my uncle's 07 accord 2.4 a while back. If I get that accord in the future I'll definitely come back to this video to do the j32 swap on it. Love the video!
Thanks man, please send me some pics when you do that swap like to see how people's builds come out
Nice! I like the TL Enkei’s wheels. I’ve got a 2004 6-6 with the j32a3 in it. I’m still using j30a4 ecu. I have a j35 magnesium manifold from an odyssey. I want to j37a1 swap but it’s so expensive.
Stay tuned, I'm about to J37a1 swap the car
@@sticknkicks I just picked up the 2004 j32a3 6 speed manual ecu. Do I just get it programmed to my immobilizer?
I got a 04 Acura tl a few months ago, it's got 120k. I'm gonna eventually do some stuff to it but it's completely stock right now and I got it from the south so its clean
Very nice my friend. I have my 04 Acura TL that I found with the 6-speed and man I got it for a good deal and you would probably have a blast driving it I did almost a really really thorough deletion of a lot of things on the inside I don't even have a passenger seat I mean I'm down about 3,200 lb and this thing started out got the Natty model which is almost 3,600 lbs in some cases so the point of that was just to get the car nimble because really the weight reduction is most effective at the way the body reacts in certain situations acceleration of course is minimal as far as the weight reduction unless it's a substantial amount like a thousand pounds or something but nonetheless
Very clean and those wheels are real sweet. I have the same car but its the 03 FPP. Swapped it with a K24A (same engine pretty much) after I blew the original. Probably the most fun Honda I've ever owned.
Good video. I'm swapping in a 2005-2006 Honda Odyssey 3.5L into my 2003 6-6
That's wassup, I'v never really seen many people do that swap. Let me know how that goes
Keep us updated yo, let us know how difficult it is?
I really want to know if this is possible
Could’ve went 3.7 lol
@@JimyOfficial And how much more difficult and expensive is that swap? Lol right back at you.
Good video. Boomslang is currently making the CAN adapter for the 07-08 TL ecu so you can use Hondata ($500!!) Heeltoe hasn't got them yet ($380)
I have the 06 4 door accord j30 and I’m thinking of doing the same swap. I had an 01 tl type s and I loved that j32 engine so much.
Those tl wheels look sick
Cool car brotha, I love accord 6-6s. I bet she's a quick little sleeper..
Yeah sir, she gets the job
@@sticknkicks what mods do you have
All the 7th gens have the same bell housing. 03-07. Acura TL changed in 07-08. For any 7th Gen you need 04-06 j32 to match bell housing
OR, you can change the front bellhousing section of your ATC6 to part number 21000-RDE-305. This will allow your ATC6 to bolt up to newer J-series engines.
@@matthewstorm5188 What about for auto trannys? I have an 04 v6 accord I want to put a J35 in without really screwing with the tranny, would the j35 bolt right up like the j32 would? If not what needs to be done
Have the same car 06 6+6. Keep up the vids man. I'll visit your IG 👍
Nicely done bro. I've been thinking about doing this swap on my 2003 6-6. Glad to know it's a fairly straightforward swap. I wish the j35 or j37 swap was this easy, lol!
Lol tbh it is, but finding a j37 and a matching transmission is hard
@@sticknkicks very true
Nice 7th gen man, I miss my 07 sedan! I have a 2013 9th gen 6-6 love the j-series!
Thank u brother I’m doing the same swap soon , j32a3 swap is the way to go. Was going to buy a j35 but it’s hard to find the 07-08 mt 6speed trans or inner bell housing! Thank you
On the lookout for one of these
This helps A lot my Guy Appreciate it !!
Hey man, got an 03 6-6. Broke down 2 weeks after I got it. Pretty sure oil pump went out or jumped timing a tooth. Picking up a 05 TL 6 speed needs a clutch. First time ever doing a swap. Hoping your videos help me threw it
Did it happen?
Damn I need a paint job 😩 this looks so good
I like this build
Have you ever seen another 7th 6-6 coupe in the wild? I have one in Northern California and have never seen another on the road
1) I have no idea why you would bother with swapping the J32, when you could choose either the J35 or even the J37. (Avoid versions with cylinder deactivation!)
2) Matching engine year to vehicle year doesn't matter. Honda is not going to pay to retool all of their factories so they can randomly change mounts and bolt patterns over time (certainly not within the same generation), and even if they did, those are trivial issues to deal with anyway.
3) The transmission to have is either going to be an LSD equipped manual from the 3rd gen TL (all TL manuals have an LSD), or CL (same). Or the more aggressively geared manual out of Gen 8 or 9 Accord V6 M6 (but lacks the LSD). The Acura trans will give you the LSD and better fuel economy. The Gen 8/9 V6M6 trans will provide more acceleration (though you will very likely be traction limited most of the time). In fact, the gearing difference of the Gen 8/9 may provide an even bigger boost to acceleration than the engine swap itself! (Assuming you can put the power down.) But you marry the J37 with a Gen8/9 trans, in the light weight Gen 7 body, and you're going to be seriously quick. Though personally I'd go J37 with slower TL LSD trans, as grip matters more to me personally.
4) Yes, you can put the Acura LSD into the gen 8/9 trans, but you aren't really gaining anything there, as most of the gearing differences come from the final out gear, which you're inheriting with the Acura LSD.
Thanks for the info just a quick question I have a 04 Honda Accord coupe v6 manual (j30a4) and if I where to do a swap with a j32a3 engine in my Honda do I only need is a ecu from 04-06 Acura TL? and if I where to get the ecu would it be compatible for my 04 Honda Accord?
Thanks for the tips
Any time
Bro I'm currently doing this swap! I'm going all in for this build but as I'm about to drop this new engine in, how did you go about putting the whole engine harness back on? Did you reference any schematics, or pictures, or what did you do to make sure every connector went were It needed to go? I will for sure figure it out but I'm trying to gather more info to figure out what exactly will work for me. I will be joining you in sharing my swap journey with community so keep a look out for heavily edited videos :)
Hey bro, the wiring manual harness from the my old j30 was a direct fit for the j32a3
That's pretty legit my man. I rock a 7.5 Gen EXL V6 6MT, but sadly, it's a four-door. It's got the wrong number of doors, but I live in Alaska, and I've only ever seen one manual 2007 EXL coupe, and the guy lives a couple hundred miles away in Fairbanks, and has kept it really clean all of its life and wouldn't sell it for like 15 grand...
The 03-07 accord v6 6speed sedan is even harder to find than the coupe.
Brooo you don’t even know what you have…
Your car is the rarest accord of its generation.
I have a question I was going to get a 2012 Honda Accord in a couple of weeks and before I got it I was wondering if I could put a v8 engine and make it faster and how much would it cost because I’m willing to put the work in it because I feel a lot of people won’t have nothing like this and I know it will be worth it
Honest answer is yes, but do I think it's worth probably not just because of the fabrication work you'll have to. It would be dope to see this bro, let me know if you do
So my biggest question is how the hell do you kill a J series engine? These things are known to go past half million miles ws long as you change the oil and do the timing belt service.
lol the j series motors are amazing and reliable, in my case I blew the first j30 by money shifting.
Another quick question I have an 04 accord v6 with a automatic transmission would it still be plug in play even tho I have an automatic transmission
Yeah, it should cause my motor is from an automatic TL
What hose did you have to replace exactly? I got the same exact issue
so i could i put and j32 in my 04 accord coupe? and if i did that what ecu and motor would i get,
So you can do a swap with a j32a3 and manual ecu from a 04 to 06 Acura TL and a manual
Are the motor mounts the same? Or do you have to do custom mounts?
Same mounts work
Hey bro I’ve got an ‘03 accord with j32a3 swapped in. I broke a motor mount because the interstate had a huge pothole and it was dryrotted on the bushing. Do I need to get replacement j30 motor mounts or does it need the j32 mounts ? The motor is from an 06 TL
Hey bro,
Go ahead and get the j30a4 engine mounts for the accord
Hey man, do you know if a/f (O2) sensors are compatible between j30 and j32? or actually did you need to change them or you could keep those from accord
Hey Man,
You can use your existing O2 sensors for the J32a3
Question, hood won't close down fully with J32 vs old ka24?
Did you replace the engine mounts with j32 compatible mounts
What did u do for exhaust manifold? Weld half a TL and half a accord manifold together or is there a different option
Both the J30A4/5 and the J32A3 have integrated exhaust manifolds. The Accord converters and J-pipe should bolt to the J32A3.
Sorry one more question with the wiring harness was it easy to connect on the j32 what all trouble did you run into installing motor
The wiring harness was easy to install, it a direct fit for the j32
Came out 🔥 does that blue breather tube work as a evap delete? if so what’s the measurements on it, thanks
No, it just deletes the hose that run back to the intake
@@sticknkicks oh i see makes sense, any breather tube works or any specific size?
No specific size, you can get them at AutoZone, advance auto, o'reilly auto parts, or any auto parts store
Type S wheels ftw
Do you know where I can get info for j32 swapping a 6th gen accord 4cyl
Is there a adapter that will let me use my atc6 on a 07 3.2
Hey Shawn probably should have done this before I bought my engine. But I bought a j32a3 for my manuel transmission 2004 6-6 accord. The j32a3 is from an automatic car. I'm buying a Manuel ecu, ignition, immobilizer, and key all from an acura TL 10 hours from now. What else should I know! What am I gonna have to do to make the engine run the greatest as possible
*edit*
What your saying from 9:30 to 10:15 is kinda scaring me. Are you saying that engine I bought from an automatic acura tl will not work on my manuel 04 v6 accord?
It bolts up fine you just have to use your coolant pipe that runs under the runners.
I got an 06 Accord coupe auto though sadly but I want to do a full swap manual with J32 what year engine would be the best for it
Hey there,
A j32a3 from a 04-06 accord will be best
So i have an 2010 acura tsx but i have the 4 banger if i by the v6 engine will the transmission match?
No, you'll need a j series transmission
Have you run your car on your stock J30a4 Manual Ecu With the j32 swap?
Yeah for about two months before I switched over to a j32a3 ECU
@@sticknkicks you felt a big difference from j30 to j32 ECU? Even without hondata
Why are you in there passenger seat?
if this one ever goes out. get an acura tl type s j35 swap. youll get 286 hp
Lol I'm making a video about some moves coming soon
According2Shawn dope dude!
Ive seen a j37 even also
Does the j32 04/06 plug right up
Bro do you know anything about a Richies Module??
I got a 07 V6 Sedan Automatic can my transmission work or I gotta get one to match the motor
Your 07 accord v6 transmission should bolt up to a 06-08 tl j32a3
So since I got a v6 honda accord 2006 should I look for a 2006 j32a3
Honda revised the bell housing on the 07-08 TLs, so you should be good with the 06 j32a3
What about the wiring harness does it have to be changed
You can use the j30 wiring harness but if you can also use the j32a3 wiring harness
Mann that’s nice!!! how much hp u pushing now?
I have no idea but I'm aiming for about 320 N/A with the J37 swap I'm working on
@@sticknkicks hows that j37 swap going? I'm looking to do a j37 swap instead of a j32 for my stock v6. Make a video on it if you could?
I have an 02 accord v6 automatic if I want to swap it with a j32 I have to change my ECU as well
Yeah, more than likely you would
The 6th gen being only auto dont have a direct ecu swap. It requires either tricking the auto ecu or aftermarket ecu that will require programing.
If you tried a manual ecu from tl cl 99 manual or 03 accord manual & later it will requires extensive rewiring of the harnesses from ecu to engine & body.
Sadly 6th gen is the most brutal for a manual swap as there is no existing plug & play method to complete the ecu.
@@OneKauz I have a intake, exhaust and 93 can my car be tuned or is there a device where I can tune it to gain any horsepower? Idk too much about cars that’s why I’m asking
Good work.
So the ECU is a direct swap and plug in ?
Yep, all you need to do is reprogram the ecu so your keys will work
@@sticknkicks ok thanks, understand, so it is not direct plug in.
It requries reprograming.
Thank you for your responce.
I have an '07 accord sedan V6 six speed.
@@brianknecht If you know someone with a snap-on scanner they can easily do a re-write to your computer,takes a couple minutes.
Nice Accord man I have the 06 4dr 6speed manual with a J32a3 swap but it’s misfiring on all cylinders & running lean, any idea what the problem might be ?
Do have any check engine
J-Series Shawn yea I’m the check engine light is on I seen it flashing a few times which I o ow isn’t good, the engine is from an 06 TL Auto & I didn’t change the ecu to a TL ecu
The flashing check engine light means your misfiring, when does it happen? At idle or when your driving?
J-Series Shawn it rarely happens but when I did see it happening it was while i was driving, I changed coils, spark plugs, egr
J-Series Shawn the J32a3 is from an 06 auto TL
Uci headlights and its be complete
Bro you did a right hand drive conversion?? Sick
Prob just the camera
🤦
So u can swat a honda v6 03 07 tranny into 04 to 05 tl and do u have to interchange flywheel
If you want to swap over a v6 transmission into a 04 to 05 TL, you would need a 03-05 accord v6 transmission. Everything else will match like the flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate
You can't use the 06-07 because Honda revised the bell housing on those, you could use the 06-07 if you had a 06-08 TL
@@sticknkicks I thought the honds 03 07 have the same transmission as the acura 04 06 swap, mine a 04 tl thou
To my knowledge they revised the bell housing on the 06-07 accord v6
I’m thinking about doing this swap how much hp do you think you’re pushing
To the crank the motor makes 270 but I'm probably making like 230 to the wheels maybe a little more, but the car is pretty much stock besides the exhaust and precats delete
My goal for the end of the year when I'm tuned is 310 to 320
I have an 04 accord v6 I’m thinking about doing this cause I blew my old motor you should do more reviews on it I wanna know so much about honestly
I wanna swap a j32a3 into my 07 6-6 how much do you think that costs ?
The engine cost me $600, so it just depends on the mileage of the motor. All you need it the motor cause the tranny mates up
It cost me a bit more because I upgraded my clutch and added some other proformance parts
Cool video // Where can I get information to get a motor compatible for my 07 V6 👍
You check v6proformance.net
But for a 07 accord v6 you would need a 07 or 08 Acura TL j32a3
@@sticknkicks thanks bro // 🙏
You could also use a J35A6 from a 2005-2006 Odyssey. This will get you about the same HP as the J32A3, but with more torque from the higher displacement. You can also either change the bellhousing section of the ATC6 transmission or go with a newer transmission and go with something like a J35A8. But this costs a whole lot more than either the J32A3 or J35A6.
How do you reprogram the ecu to your key? Can you just bring the key and ecu to the dealership or do you have to bring the whole car once the swap has been done
You would have to have everything running then either call a car locksmith or go to a dealership
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Is this possible in a 94 coupe?
Hey Alex, it is possible but you'll need a J32a2
Should’ve went j37! Lol
That's the plan, but j37 for the motor alone is usually 1k and up, then you gotta fina a transmission
Yeah and I think its worth it. Until the labor and hard work comes in then idk...
@@randylee9267 it’s worth it. If you can get the engine from a junk yard.
It’s a gamble when it comes to that I was attempting the same thing but if you want to upgrade but not a lot of more money just get a j32a3 is the better bet you can always had some mods to push over 300hp rather getting a j37a1 it’s self but hey I’ll love to see what it looks like and stuff like that
Can a j32a fit inna 2005 Honda Accord cause my j30a is blown
What j32, is only one that fits is the j32a3
I have a sedan v6 6Speed would it be the same?
Yessir
I have a j32 and trying to do a j35 swap . Do I need a new transmission to fit the j35
You'll need either a 07-08 TL putter bell housing or a 07-08 tl transmission
@@sticknkicks do I need any mounts ?
Nope everything fits like OEM +
It depends on the J35. If, for instance, you use a J35A6 from a 2005-2006 Odyssey, the enginewill bolt straight to your ATC6 transmission. But with other engines (like the J35A8, for instance), you will either need a newer transmission or a bellhousing swap on the ATC6.
