A new Accord Type R would be awesome. They made an Accord Type R/Euro R only available in Europe (EDM) and Japan (JDM) Markets ages ago. With an H22A7 motor in it. Around 2002-2008.
People surprised by an Accord handling extremely well never heard of the old Accord R, the TSX, or their pedigree on the racetrack. They’ve always had higher suspension tuning potential than civics.
I know I am commenting late. Nice build, thanks for the video. I would recommend a Ultra Racing strut bar and a 6mt upper torque mount if you don't already have them installed. The car will feel more planted and precise in the curves. I am running Hondata 93 tune, catless down pipe and I have ran a stock CTR and pulled a car on him from 30-80, ran 2 times, same result both times. I have put 25,000 miles on Accord after the tune and pipe, no issues. Thinking about flex fuel kit, but I don't want to mess up a good thing. So a Accord Type R would be cool, but for $1,500 in upgrades you can have a fast, fun, reliable daily driver.
Ironically, if you were put an Accord in Europe, people would go nuts since it looks better than like 99% of the cars here in Europe. Oh btw, No accords in Europe! They are more rare than exotic cars here.
@@simjim2606 yes here in the states it's not the same chassis as the accord. The inspire chassis is known as the accord here in the states. And the tsx chassis in the states is known as the accord in other countries. Acura is mostly made for the United States. Mexico and Canada and some of Japan gets acura. The rest of the world does not. It's the same thing as the integras. Honda integra 1st 2nd 3rd generations and the rsx here is the integra elsewhere. Etc. As their are differences in accord/inspre and tsx/accord, they share the same chassis. Oh and plus some of the American tsx and accords share some of the same suspension and some interior parts depending on the gen. 7th gen accord and 1st generation tsx (7th generation accord cl9)
@@dc4vato715 There are no Honda inspires in Europe. The 5th and current 6th gen have only been shipped to Japan or China. Older inspires went to Africa. Pity it never came to Europe!!
i thought that too. thinking its like a accord version of nsx. i trying to figure out they manage to turbo a hybird along with its ecu then realized its hybird turbo
@@josephr.8622 well you don’t have to stand for it. It’s their cars and they can do what their hearts desire. It’s not that it has a lack, they just want more, simple. And guess what bud, they can still commute and get 30mpg highway :)
@@josephr.8622 They are actually built pretty well I'd assume given that the fastest accord rn is at 500hp and has 100k miles on its stock transmission. Of course, he switched minor things like rods but besides that, his block isn't built much at all. I get that a lot of people do mod their cars without realizing how much it can affect their reliability but Honda actually did pretty well with the Accord 2.0t and their 10spd.
@@josephr.8622 dude what are you talking about? And the Original comment too 🤣 ? You obviously have no idea of what them little things are capable of while still getting 30mpg and commuting everyday lol
You should do another vid of this car with the camera pointing at the speedometer. It’s hard to get an idea of how fast the car is accelerating when the camera is pointed at the driver.
@@referenceplz5547, I have mine on the softer setting. It's pretty subtle, in normal driving you might even forget you changed it, the rear is just that little bit tighter feeling. Throw it into a corner quick and you'll remember you changed it though, def stays flatter. I'm tempted to buy the front bar as well, but I kinda like the balance it has now.
The sleeper accord is the 2.0 Turbo with the 6 speed manual transmission!! Freaking Honda did away with the fricking slippery as snot on a doorknob transmission!?! WTF HONDA?????
Yo thanks a million for uploading this video! This is Super Exciting!! There's no better feeling than transforming your own car and knowing what the Honda Accord is really capable of 💯✔🚦🙌
This is inspiring. I have a 2009 v6 Accord, and I'm seriously considering doing some mods. A turbo kit along with exhaust, cold air intake and suspension should give it some serious power. It already has 270hp stock, but it's a heavy car. Of course I can only imagine what my insurance bill will be, but the added fun is worth it.
@@blockhuggerdoeboy357 its not due to engine, vtech is awesome, but the rubber like CVt engine makes shifting slower and harder . Vtech best engine for non V engine. go research why they are faster then other same capasity fuel buring engine.
Because those objects are further than you think. The outside world doesn't turn to streaks the second you mash the gas in a "fast" car like in the movies kiddo. Not even in a veyron.
If you like fast accords, check out some of the v6 accords out there. The 8th gens seem to be the best stock, but all gens have a unique charm and finish to them.
Shifting seems a bit laggy but I’m not surprised, these accords are pretty damn impressive and those are nice numbers for a affordable price I’m sure. I’d rather jump in a VR30TT under 5k and you’re touching 500 nonetheless these accords look so damn nice!
I need to see dyno sheets to believe this makes close to 400 torque and 400 hp. Not saying it’s not possible with the right mods but seriously this probably makes like 350ish wheel at 380tq which is GOOD. But I don’t think it would take v8s from a dig or a 40 roll. I need to see it first!
How’s the reliability at 400? Any problems or signs of problems on the stock internals? & do you think my clutch is gonna slip at that power or have any axle issues? Someone give me some insight! Thanks 🙏
@@Earache. I’ve had my eyes on accords for a while now and I’ve owned once since August 2021. Such a fun car. But from what I know stock motor at 400hp is good, I know of an accord with 500wheel with stock internals and they daily drive it. It’s pretty crazy lol
one of these new accords tried me on the freeway, lets just say he learn his place that night, and the difference in a turrbo 4cyl vs a twin turbo v12 making 600lbs ft torq at 1800rpm
@@LoXHumaN lol yeah but the odds me seeing those people is non existent, unless I'm looking for them. And for those rare occasions I just turned the boost up.
Before any reviews & anyone really got a feel for this new Accord model. As soon as the car came out, I instantly fell in love with it & it became a new dream car of mines. Looks alone, it's just perfect. & It's a Honda so, you're good there lol I play on getting mine end summer 2022
@@GriffinBlanchard yes the did I currently drive a 7th gen Accord EX-L v6...looks like I may stay and get a 10th gen...was looking at Infiniti Q50 hybrid S and Lexus GS450h but the Accord Touring is calling my name 🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥
Ppl Obviously hasn’t watched Throttle House Accord Drag Race! This Accord beats almost everything STOCK! It keeps up with a Type-R! That 10Speed is Amazing!!!
My 3.0 V6 Camry is 16 years old and can hang with v8 mustangs from 16 years ago up to third gear, and It's still running like a champ today. I doubt this will be running like a champ 16 years from now.....
@@automotivetv9861 a 2v that's about it your beating an older v8, at the end of the day its a grocery getter v6 toyota, just stick to your good mpg, you wouldn't want to race a real v8 muscle car
Butt hurt much. The lawnmore joke is so old and worn out you gotta get a little bit better at trying to criticize one of the most successful brands in motorsports. Inbred 😂
Video editing is fire! The car looks amazing as well. But until I see this car race a scat pack or a 5.0 and beat them...going to have to say Bullshit son 😂😂
I can hear the lineage of the F22/23 powered accords from ‘90 to ‘02 in that engine and I love it I’ve always loved the growl of those big old single cams, and this sounds pretty similar
It's official I'm old. I'm seeing videos talking about 400hp accords again. We pushed these numbers and more back I'm the day. H22, b18 j32, j35 swaps. In cars that Wade a lot less than today's Hondas.
Ya it’s pretty crazy if you look at the specs on a 1993 Saab 9000 Aero. 225HP 258TQ from a 2.3 Turbo. Matches all of these modern hot hatches like the GTI Civic SI, Focus ST, almost 30 years later.
The 1.5T accord with a tune and a few mods is so much fun. Just gotta watch the power with the cvt. But they do offer the manual. Hoping to trade mine in for the 2.0
@@noidontthinksolol the gear box is not bad i am not sure if u have driven the X Gen Accord? Its not bad at all i own 1 and so far after 50K Km its been great, yaris is a shit car, i owned 1 and have driven it for a long time. You must not compare accord cvt with nissan n toyota or mazda, honda makes better cvt. It saves fuel, i dont drive 1.5L T like its a sports car, i just go 2 point A to point B while saving my gas.
Respect for the owner and this wonderful build. However, I'm concerned about long-term reliability. Would be nice to do three years and 30,000 miles review and that's if he still has this vehicle.
@@GriffinBlanchard I'm not surprised, it was a great build however that Transmission will not last long before starting to slip. Doing the video I don't recall if the owner modified the transmission as well.
@@Costarica-mq8el these transmissions are holding well over 400hp. No upgraded available for the 10at at the moment. But it holds the power. Felixjoel has over 400ho for well over 20k miles. These things are tanks, no way around it.
@@Costarica-mq8el coming from a racer all you have to do is more maintenance if you own a race car or speed a lot then daily check and monthly maintenance check brake fluid check oil check antifreeze check motor mounds check tires check brake pads check transmission fluid it’s not hard it’s just people who don’t take cars but only drive cars
Cool to see one of these modded. But when Base model GT's and SS cars are clicking off 11.8s bone stock down to the fuel in the tank from the dealer and the oem tires. I wouldnt call it a v8 killer.
I can agree that it’s unexpected for the v8 owners. We have similar set up minus the turbo n custom tune and I’m right there with the scats. Can’t wait to get a ctr turbo n prl intercooler with a custom tune to top it off and I’m happy... for awhile. Lol
@@SovannaSom I had a upgraded CTR turbo on mine which lasted about 6 months before the engine blew and took the turbo with it lol too much power for the engine i guess but then again I was abusing it pretty bad luckily I used to work at the Honda dealership where I get repairs and maintenance done and the service manager and the techs are my homies so they made a false warranty claim for me saying the engine was bad and I got it replaced for free under warranty it was a fun ass car just that after all the money I put in it I still wasnt able to Play with the big boy Boosted V8’s so I ended up traded it in for a 2018 Camaro SS, but since then I met a girl that I have been with for 2 years now and she picked up a accord a couple months ago and I just finished up the Boosted SS build which means we will be building her accord next lol it’s gonna take maybe a year or so but honestly even though I got a V8 now I can’t wait to finish the accord build and see the V8 guys reaction when they get smoked by my girls accord again 🤣
So there’s one at the meets I go to in Baltimore 395whp and I have a Ford sho and gapped it and he gets gapped all the time. It’s 400hp that’s not a v8 killer at all
It would be nice to see some actual numbers using a Dragy. Like how would it compare to my G70 3.3T in stock form. I have no doubt it's quick and the Honda 4cyls are tough motors! Great car the Accord
Ur reaction is funny as buck jeje just bought a honda accord 2.0T with 7 miles on it 😎and stock is a beast I can’t imagine that power you are feeling….
Maybe from a start, V8 will gain and pass when over 100mph. 1/8 or 1/4 the Accord will probably get them due to weight. On street/highway a different story.
I have a 2022 Honda Accord Sport 2.0 and i want to tune mine so bad! But i am afraid over time that it will ruin the engine. I know nothing about fixing and modifying engines. Is there a way to actually not push the engine too much to its limit and still tune it to be safely faster? I know the engine is the Type R engine so couldnt you just tune it exactly like the type r and add the parts in? Seems like the most safest way.
Maybe the 1.5t but you're not taking out a 2.0t Accord with a TL. Not even close. That's why the new TLX Type S is going to be such a big deal. Other than the NSX, it'll be the first "fast" or "real" type S Acura in years.
I have a 2007 Honda accord all white with blacked out headlights rims and tail lights I’ve done a couple mods to it but nothing crazy and I love the car I’m only 18 and this is my first car but I’m already looking into the newer accords and some acuras I love the car!
That car is pretty fast hitting 0-60 in under 4 seconds and top speed of over 160. The regular 2.0T is faster than the V6 Camry which I couldn't believe until I drove it. In my opinion it's the perfect amount of fun factor performace.
