now just imagine an EK civic with a C30/C32 from an NSX in it - it would require alot of work/time/money and alot of chassis tuning to balance out the car
but damn it would be amazing
apparently the last of the NSX type R's (c32) really had around 240kw at the fly. but coz of that 206kw law in japan they said it had 206. just like the 32,33 n 34 GTR's which were detuned hard but also had alot more then 206kw
I'm looking into J swap 2. About the engine sticking on dc and eg are cause their bonnet are on abit of a slope angle. I see ek's with close bonnet. My concern is would ps and ac fit with that huge 3.2L mota.
The bonnet with the right kit will clear no problems. you want the egj2 kit which has height adjustable mounts, so you can have bad ground clearance like mine but no mods to bonnet AT ALL. or cut it out the bonnet and show it off.
If your serious about doing the j swap the a/c and powersteering would be an easy enough mod to get working.
the power steering pump on the j series sits inside the valley. you should be able to make 2 hoses one for the feed of the pump the other to the rail depending how you make it, it should be easy enough
with the aircon, you need to get the a/c condenser to fit somewhere first. if its in a DC it won't be a problem saying that you should be able to fit the dc condenser in the radiator surport. the problem with the a/c is mainly our climate it gets so hot I'd hate to see that big engine over heat off a eg radiator because you can't fit a radiator in the stock position on either chassis. it will have to be relocated the same as the k swap. unlike the k swap the headers do sit in the radiator surport so you won't be able to run a full size unless you buy a tucked radiator, (tucked radiator will mean the condenser space will be occupied)
the biggest problem in anywhere besides america is getting a manual gear box. if you find a manual transmission for a j swap in aus I'd grab it and please find me one
my swap has a automatic transmission running the egj2 engine mount kit with a modified gear box mount. I have a massive trans cooler due to the j series poor auto trans. with a modified eg shifter to j series cable.
mine is fairly standard egr block off and ebay headers. I need to wire it up and I should be ready for a test run. i've spent approx about 30 hours, this includes fitting the engine, welding rad holders, modifying the mount, wire tuck, lightening the dash ie removing a/c.
If I was to do another one I would have the automatic eg or dc and turn it into an auto j swap only because the auto wiring for the gearbox lockout is already there etc. but otherwise it wouldn't matter.
I encourage it I thought it would be a nightmare to do this swap but was fairly straight forward not as easy as a b swap but not exactly complicated.
