Ap1 c32b?

[F20C]

I've been trying to sus out some info on a C32B in an AP1/2 but havent come up with much at all. Anyone know of an S2000 with the engine swap? If no one knows what a C32B is, It's the NSX engine. Came out in the 97' NSX's.. Can anyone give me any feedback on how the engines are for a possible transfer into my S? Could be a problem sourcing one out though..

If you're doing it for shits and giggles, sure why not - with enough money, any engine swap can be performed. Otherwise, why? The C30 and C32 engines are/were great, but they're about twice as heavy as the F20 and for less money, you could turbo-charge your F20 and produce more power. You'd ruin the essence of the S2000 with a big heavy engine.

F20C, I would recommend puting an RA168 engine in your car. It'll go really fast :cool:

[OMG.JAI xD]

Id imagine the reason why it hasnt or not a popular swap is because the engine itself is expensive.

Looking at the engine bay of the s2k it narrows more towards the radiator support.
I doubt the engine bay can accomodate a 90degree v6 engine without modifications to the chassis rail.
Youre better off doing a 2jz swap. Cheaper, simpler, more off the shelf parts.

Its been done already. See if I can find the link.

[ludecrs]

No link, just 2 pics.

I've posted up requesting the link (I just can't seem to find it!!! *grrr*) but I know there are more pictures out there.....

The only reason why i was curious about it is because i saw in autosalon a mock up of the best drag car they could possibly think of and it was an S2000 with a C32B in it. I just assumed they would fit not expecting it to be so wide.. Brad that S in the picture did it have any chassis modifications? I've seen some pretty serious 2jz swaps also lol.. I saw a few videos on youtube and the pull on them is amazing. One blew the front bumper off on a dyno haha. But i wouldnt turbo my F20C im assuming there would be heaps of problems F/I in an N/A car. Or i could be completely wrong and having the right setup could mean no problems. Brad hows your supercharger on yours? are you getting many problems at all?

[OMG.JAI xD]

I would be surprised if that s2k had no chassis modifications at all.

Turbo your s2k bro.
Dont worry about the high compression motor. Compensate that with higher capacity injectors. Look up s2000 from hell on youtube. 23psi on stock motor. Hasnt blown cause that cars probably running 1000cc+ injectors with a rich ass tune.
Just make sure youre using a good ecu and use a tuner that knows what theyre doing.


That autosalon magazine is too much of a dreamers section. Look at the picture of the c32 in the s2k. You really thing theres enough room for twin top mounted turbos?


Youre better off getting a nsx and turboing that.
The drivetrain in the s2k wont cope with that brutal power.

makes sense. and i've seen the s2k from hell haha that thing is an animal. The idle with those cams = better then sex lol. Well an NSX is my dream car so i could just wait it out and buy one eventually :)

[OMG.JAI xD]

well the value of the nsx and s2k wont ever drop that much. Since both are discontinued and collectors items. Its most probably going to rise if they become more rare.



Nsx in my opinion is a godly car. Many people questioned the car and seeing the price tag I understand why.
But the way i see it. For a 1991 model car. It was years and years ahead of its time. Not technology wise. But design wise.

[F20C]

Yeah nah i totally agree. But even for a car brought out in 1991 it has the sleek sexy look. But if i bought one i'd buy a manual one and knowing that you cant import them its going to be a hard time finding one!

Why not.
There are heaps of nsx's that fall behind the 15 year rule.
Im sure you can easily import it now.

[ludecrs]

Rule no longer exists.

[F20C]

Oh really? I thought hondas arnt allowed to be imported? or is it after a certain year? or what is it exactly? lol

[OMG.JAI xD]

Rule no longer exists.

I have been corrected.

Havent updated my self with the law, cause really. I dont give a damn lol.


http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/importing_vehicles/general/EligibilityCriteria_2.aspx

Just found that.


So anyway, if i may ask. Are there different law schemes for a dealer specialising in importing vehicles?

[feifeiyuen]

I totally agree with JAi
The s2k with c32 must have loads of chassis mod and settling the engine mount would be a pain in the X.
Weight balance would be a serious problem

[F20C]

Weight balance would be a serious problem with any engine transfer into the S.

[riceball]

how much is it for the 2jz in the s2k ?
and who wuld do it ?

why 2jz it? unless your looking for 1000hp.. not many people are but if you are why not. IMO just turbo an F20C lol

[stndrd]

new issue of autosalon magazine apparently has a 2jz-gte powered s2k on the cover

[vyets]

2jz s2k is in it but not on the cover :P Cover is a different one.

ew GTE? what box is it running? a shitty auto JZ box?

[flipstar]

wouldnt 2jz be a better swap???

[02gzm]

ew GTE? what box is it running? a shitty auto JZ box?

Why ew GTE? Who would go to all that efford of doing a 2J swap only to put a non-turbo GE in?

[F20C]

Cause i dont think its right driving a 2JZ on a GTE auto box in an s2k.

[02gzm]

You do realise the GTE doesn't stand for automatic.

G - Wide-angle valved DOHC,
T - Turbocharged,
E - Electronic Fuel Injection

They did come in manual.

[F20C]

I know this. What im saying is most GTE conversions i've read about on builds regarding GTE have been on auto transmissions. I've only ever read up on two manual conversions and they used the manual transmission. Just more so seen auto conversions thats all im saying. Hence the EW assumed it was auto lol.

[[[d a n n y]]]

they use auto cuz the getrag tranny cost a shit load cuz the g box are worth the money

[crx_boy7]

lol c32? why not the j35?? more CCz.. theres even a j37 if yu can find it, and they weigh a very healthy weight, the newish j32s were around 100kg without accesories, that makes it well in the range of a k seres engine weight, with so much more torque and ofcourse that beautyful v6 sound, and alot more room for placing the engine as its a 60 degree, compared to the c32s 90 degree

the engines are in the 1000buk mark wich also makes this a great swap

the most powerfull j seres stockers are pushing out 300hp, wich i think is more than the c32, and with alot less performance tech gives more room to grow, and some models came with metal cylinder sleevs wich make it available for forged pistons and longer engine life compared the the c32

the main j35 drawback is its lack of aftermarket support

but ofcourse there is a jseres forum ect, and lots of ppl are running rods, pistons, turbos ect, with sucess

i did my research and i was on my way to planing a j35 twin turbo s2000
then i woke up to myself.. i wanted 500hp atw, thats doable with an f20, instead of spending the money and headaces on a custom mounting plate, engine mounts, and all the things involved in an engine conversion, its simpler to use the extra funds to sleeve the f20 and it would be alot cheaper and functionable, compared to a j35 swap,
but ofcourse nowere near as individual and expensive, let alone that v6 sound ^_^

just wondering how much are getrags worth anyway?
