Frequently Asked Questions

What years of Honda Accord engines interchange?

Within the same generation: 8th gen (2008-2012) K24Z2/J35Z2, 9th gen (2013-2017) K24W/J35Y, 10th gen (2018-2022) L15BE/K20C4. Engines swap directly within a generation if you match 4-cylinder to 4-cylinder or V6 to V6. The K24 is the most interchangeable Honda engine, found in Accord, CR-V, TSX, Element, and Odyssey.

Does a CR-V engine fit a Honda Accord?

Yes, in many cases. The K24 engine family is shared between the Accord and CR-V across multiple generations. A 2008-2012 CR-V K24Z1 shares the same block with the Accord K24Z2. The main differences are intake manifold and ECU calibration. The long block is interchangeable.

How much does a used Accord engine cost?

A used Honda Accord engine from a salvage yard costs $400-$1,200 depending on the engine type and mileage. K24 4-cylinders run $400-$800. J35 V6 engines run $500-$1,000. The 1.5T and 2.0T turbo engines from 2018+ Accords run $800-$1,500 due to newer age and higher demand.

Can I put a V6 in a 4-cylinder Accord?

It is technically possible but it is a major project. The V6 Accord has different motor mounts, transmission, ECU, wiring harness, exhaust, driveshafts, and subframe. It is not a bolt-in swap. Most people find it cheaper and easier to sell their 4-cylinder Accord and buy a V6 model.
