Do ya reckon i could mid mount in a gen II crx?? lol

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

with enough money and time anything is possible

[Kiz_EG6]

Yeah, that's right, money!!
Honestly though, anyone ever put one of these in a Teg or anything?
Think about it, the engine is already s/e opposed!
Huge torque possible, plus 201kw is it, 93 model??

5.5k is cheaper that a DC2R halfcut!!

[Chi]

Engine maybe cheaper to buy, but it will cost a sh!t load more to get it in and running.


If it was that simple to do , you'd think people would be doing it every where by now.

[Zdster]

If I am not mistaken the drive shafts run the wrong way as well.

[Kiz_EG6]

People have done weirder conversions, for example

You'll also need a custom gearbox done up because you'll end up with 1 forward gear and 5 reverse gears if you use the stock box.

[Q_ball]

^ Thats hectik...5 reverse gears with vtec and none going forward LOLL

[aaronng]

Haha, but I reckon it's doable. In Japan, there is a Toyota MR-S running around with a 2.4L stroked k20a in the rear engine bay.

[Kiz_EG6]

That depends whether you were going to front or mid mount it.
Maybe a bit of fun mid mounting it into a Del sol!

Just modify a box from anything which is not a honda, as this is the normal problem you would have putting a foreign motor up to this engine.

Maybe SW20MR2.

[aaronng]

Hmm, looks like the NSX has its gearbox on the side like the other engines, he might not get the 5 reverse gears.... dang....

See, easiest conversion ever... ha!

[aaronng]

Have you seen the size of a C30? You might have to cut the firewall just to fit it into an EG/EK. Plus, you have exhaust headers on BOTH front and rear which you have to route around to the rear.

Might just be easier to turn the drivers seat 180 degrees :).

[Kiz_EG6]

Sure Good Idea!

Plus What Do The Engines Weigh?
I Think Understeer Would Be A Serious Problem Puttin Something Like That In A Fwd!!

[aaronng]

Might just be easier to turn the drivers seat 180 degrees :).

And have 3 broomsticks to actuate each pedal and a loop of rope to turn the wheel! :D Mr. Bean, anyone? :)

Now you are getting it.

[Nepolian]

Probably cheaper to take rear seats out and mid mount it than attempt to put it up the front. Might oversteer too much then.

[bennjamin]

noob'd

US drag cars use this (or a similar honda V6) for the drags

[yourfather]

in all seriousness, is there any way you could take a Honda Legend and put it in that?

[aaronng]

US cars use J-series I reckon. The J is very nice and compact unlike the C-series.

[kazam]

wat car uses the j-series?

[aaronng]

wat car uses the j-series?

Accord V6, TL, Legend, MDX, Odyssey V6.

[kazam]

ah i c. thankyou

Top Fuel Del Slow Midshipped, Turbocharged and Drag ;)

Don't they also use the C35A? In the RL and JDM Legend?

[aaronng]

Nope, that's the J35A. The C-series died with the NSX...

[hinezz]

That place is up the road from my work
Mite go check it out
Interesting price :)

divious FTW, nsx powered jazz PLZ

That's da s#it i'm talkin bout!
How bout NSX powered city!!

[NightKids]

It's interesting I was just thinking about NSX engines in Civic the other day & then this thread pops up! Good stuff Kiz!

[Kiz_EG6]

No sweat man, so you got a spare 5.5k? start the project!!

I was thinkin I can drop it in my EG then put the B16a from that in a Go kart or something, then i have two overpowered vehicles!!

[NightKids]

Yeah i do have 5.5K but i don't think I have enough for the installation though! I would love to have a B16A, you can lob it over here if you don't need it... lol

[Kiz_EG6]

You can have my B18C7, but it comes with a yellow itr wrapped around it and a 22k proce tag ;)

I really wanna fix up the civic, that B16A is gold and will be even betta wit a snail hanging off it :)

[DUST]

It is possible.

But you gotta think twice, why do you think NSX came with a quarter Mill price tag for...

[aaronng]

It's because of the handmade fully aluminium chassis and panels. Nothing wrong with putting the engine into another car. :)

[DUST]

Wow i learn something new. I didn't know it was hand made. :thumbsup:

[aaronng]

I've seen the vid of them making the NSX (on Best Motoring). The chassis is spot welded by hand (normally done by robots) and after the panels are put on, it is hand filed to remove rough edges and uneven thickness and then sand down (also by hand). I was amazed and it looked like it was more labour-intensive than the production of a Ferrari 599GTB (National Geographic did an episode on the Ferrari factory)
