J-Swap Help help help.......

[B16bcivic]

I am currently looking at a Dohc J32a2 Type-S 260hp out of an Acura TL-S and is wanting to throw it in my Ek1 sedan 99+ civic. My concern is that would the P/S and A/C pump and pippings be able to fit in the enginebay by any chance. Plus would the motor itself be dropped into the bay without any customizing. Please help me. I have gone from b16a2, to b16b to b20b allmotor. Now something different for a change.

Even if you cant fit a P/S pump on the motor you can always convert to electric P/S.

U will also need to get custom bonnet or cutout the bonnet to clear the head covers..

Heres a few example to get an idea

I think its the PS pump and AC compressor clearances will be your main factors here. As well as bonnet clearances.
