NSX engine as FWD

[j-specAccord]

can an NSX engine (C30A, C32A) be swapped into a FWD V6? say a 6th gen accord which is a 3.0lt V6 also? just a querie, not expecting much reply as i havent even found any info on the net as yet...

[panda[cRx]]

put one in the back of a del sol, keep it as MR hehehe

[Jus-10]

What series is the engine in th V6 accord? I can't remember off the top of my head

V6 Legends run "C" series motor so I guess it may be possible in that instance...gearbox would be aother issue, but I'm not fully up on that side of things (if you were to want a manual that is)

[panda[cRx]]

you can do whatever you want if you have the time and money.i'm guessing putting an NSX engine in anything other than an NSX would use alot of both

ive see a nsx motor in a civic this was in the mag Import Tuner

[FR33K]

if i can find my hot4s mag of around 1998 or so im 99% sure theres an LS teg with an NSX engine..
but who knows if that mag still exists around here

i know that the legends have C30's in them and so does the 95 V6 accord (Japan and america only) which boasts a C27.
i have had thoughts of how would you \ mount it, being an MR the gear linkages would be backwards compared to a FWD.
as for the del sol, would it even fit? those del sols have very tight bays, i havent seen a true del sol in australia yet. why dont ppl drift them? they be pretty rear heavy and spin out if not handled properly

[LowEk]

i have seen a del sol they only have a auto roof looks cool too when the roof goes down. del sols are fwd so how can you drift em???

i said make it MR which means your engine bay would now be your boot:wave:

why don't ppl drift del sol's here? COZ THEY ARE FWD :wave: :wave:

[j-specAccord]

yeah i know del sols are FWD, but i have seen MR crx's in america and have seen them stock with B16's in NZ

[LowEk]

what mid mounted like this??

Or this....

[panda[cRx]]

the majority of em here come stock with b16a's, i think it's mainly the electric roof ones that have the sohc crap

[tRipitaka]

ALL audm delsols came with b16a...

the d-series delsols are imports, which most likely have the electric targa

[j-specAccord]

so the del sol was never mid mount stock?
i never really look up on them and assumed that some models came out MR.
off topic a bit...


i need to find a site which has more info on the actual engine i.e specs, mounting positions, gear linkage positioning. i am considering doing it into a 7th gen accord, non euro. i have gotten some feed from the states as to how to go about the swap.

[panda[cRx]]

farken n00bs hahahahaha, sorry man but i gotta laugh at the thought of a stock MR del slow

[LowEk]

']del slow

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ hahahahahaha del slow yep yep.

[LowEk]

all AUSDM del slows came b16a still with the same roof but just not electronic.

[tRipitaka]

why do you choose the accord ?

if you're spending THAT much money on an NSX engine + labour, why are you putting it in a chassis that isn't performance orientated ?

[panda[cRx]]

yeah good point, good luck findign a decent sussy setup for the accord

[Paul1985]

u want a lighter chassis :D
man that would be a beast either way..
post up your findings..

somehow i really doubt u will go ahead with this.

[j-specAccord]

yeah but that is what5 most people would do, i for one love the family car. i have owned two 5th gens and ma next purchase will be a 7th gen, man i have gotten alot of haters on me cos i chose the heavier contender, that is what i like a sleeper. plus i have managed to lighten my 5th gen and have been eating up B18's and B16's at the track aswell as some boosted R32's and R33's. if you want proof ask barefootbonzai he knows my time has beaten a DC5 type R with cam full exhaust and intake who came with us two weeks ago. my H is stock so far...

[j-specAccord]

']farken n00bs hahahahaha, sorry man but i gotta laugh at the thought of a stock MR del slow


apology accepted, but dude i aint a noob when it comes to hondas. i juz havent really read up much bout CRX's. so dont hate on the less CRX knowledgable

[Chris_F]

j-specAccord, by 7th gen you mean an accord euro right?

be interested to see what crazy plans you have for that when/if you get one :p

[tRipitaka]

how come the first post says 6th gen, and now you say 7th gen ? :confused:

[j-specAccord]

as an example, 6th and 7th gen come as V6 and 6th gen also carries a 3.0lt

[j-specAccord]

by 7th gen i mean the thailand built V6 accord, i like the euro but the accord has nicer body lines and alot of unseen potential in my opinion. i also juz wanna see what honda has to offer in the V6 range rather than there well known hardcore 4's, i mean hondas best engine is a V6 so they must be doing something right...

[heist]

is the v6 accord fwd?

[j-specAccord]

yes, it is 3.0lt J30A3 FWD i think you can get 6spd MT also

[heist]

has anyone ever tried to fit a j30a3 in a civic/crx/integra?

mmmmm v6 goodness!

[steve]

Signal tuning, in japan have fitted a c32 into a eg civic... dont ask me how, i saw it in a hpi dvd

yeah that def sounds V6, but its hard to tell if it is an NSX engine. one, they never show it and two, NSX engines have that real distinct quad cam sound and it kinda doesnt resemble it. maybe it is ma budget speakers...
