Everybody has seen what a 00VI 3.0 (DEK essentially) is capable of and I'm certainly not disputing that it's great until you take that exact same setup and put a 3.5 lower under it. Other than being stronger for boost, there's nothing magical about the 3.0 block, nor is there about the 3.5 block. The 3.5 just happens to give you an extra 15% displacement resulting in more power when all other factors are equal. It's the same reason acura people put J35 internals into J32s, domestics bore/stroke...

It's still a stout engine, and decent power gains can certainly still be had. My beef lies more w/ the upped weight of the 00-01, but make no mistake: it's not like the car has 150hp crank or something, she'll definitely still go.
I think the issue w/ dek traditional (00-01) is that there might be more folks that simply DD them w/ no other plans in mind. My dek is my DD and my Eagle Talon is my project car. Once I get rid of the Talon maybe I can play w/ it as I just very recently started entertaining performance mods on this car.
It's funny b/c somehow folks will say the 3.0 is 'slow'. I guess, but compared to what? It ain't the fastest on the block by any means, but 222 crank hp really just isn't that bad at all. I mean, 10-11 years later we have the 2011 Buick Regal turbo doing almost the same exact 0-60 and 1/4 as a 00-01 Max.

My 5th gen was a 5mt, didn't have as many options as my 4th gen did, it had a governer at 130 or something of the like so would that make it a GXE? Not as up with 5th gens as I am 4th gens... Either way, my 4th gen when I first got it impressed me, and that mod for mod thing? Still mollywopped the 5th gen de-k, there's a guy here with an Intake and full exhaust... We'll just leave it as my i/y 4th gen > his i/y/e 5th gen, he's since upgraded his clutch and got a lw flywheel, but I have a lot more goodies also... I am planning a track meet on april 16th, I hope a bunch of maximas hit the track with me then, so we can update this thread and get things back on track.

Question, how long do you think a 5mt I/Y 4th gen can hang with a stock 6spd max?.
My results: even until halfway through my 3rd.

Now THAT's pretty damn good. Stock 5.5 6spds are no joke. I don't think your car is typical lol

Needless to say, once I got out of my powerband in 3rd, those 6mt 5.5s just left me standing still.
Not until recently I started really testing my car's abilities vs VQ35s, before the headers the 5mt I/Y/HFC/3" 4th gen max just barely faster than a stock 5.5gen auto/I35... Of course this wall all done on the... track.... If it wasn't for their damned gearing, Gs and Zs would be getting the biz from me too... Can't wait till our meet in April, should be a nice VQ shootout going on in Houston
, with timeslips and videos, and finally some 5th gen DE-K times!

As you say, I 'mollywopped' a 4G with I/E (no Y) a few times. That's in my Accord though
I do have to say I'm very impressed with some of these ETs/traps coming from the Maxis. You guys are doin the damn thing.

The 4G with a good driver should definitely hang with a 5G, if not beat it. Even stock for stock I'd assume?

The more I think about it, I re-read it and saw no Y-pipe, i can see that happening, cause with just an I/Y, I kept up with a full bolt on 04 coupe, until that last damn 1/8th... grrr your 3rd gear is made out of glory, cause that's where the car pulled off into the night... Just like those 6spd max's now that I recall....
A lot of them end up giving up on the car afterwards, it's what i've noticed, plus a member here beat a J32/J35 hybrid CL-S 6speed with their bolt on 5.5gen (the good on J-Series vs. VQ days.... Those threads were fun back on A-zine), I couldn't tell you who though, but I'm almost sure it was in NC/VA/SC around that area, I'm not sure, it was back in 07-08 right before I joined this forum and got my first max.

06 coupe MT w/full bolt ons. When I ran him I only had I/Jpipe though, which is similar to I/Y for the Max. I wanna say I put a buslength on him. He launched on me but once I hit 2nd gear I pulled instantly, and hard. It's not fast, but certainly quick for an Accord. I'm anxiously awaiting to finish my 3in exhaust setup and see what she does then
Glad to see the J30A is doin work for you.

Good ish! You have a thread somewhere? I'd love to stay tuned to your updates, I am a honda fanboy at heart, it was Honda (the wonders of the B18C and H22A) that first sparked a true interest in cars beyond from going to point a to point b, and I will never forget that.

hahahahahaha. Not to the emblem/sticker extent, but to the scene as a whole.I don't have a thread, but maybe I'll start one when I finish the setup.

Depends on the car..honestly, it does. (Not to brag or anything) But some people on here are mid-high 14s in stock form..and then there are several (not just me) bottom 14s in stock trim.

Eg. this guy here, I know for a fact this car w/ the I/Leaking Y-pipe had more than a 15.0 in it, but ohwells, we'll never know now.
