98 Honda Accord c32b swap
Hey guys,
Just been looking at engine swaps of putting into a 98 accord coupe...I was wondering if anyone here has ever put the c32b engine in the 6th generation accord coupe?

Why wouldn't I attempt it? I could make it work..convert it to rwd maybe even. I've seen a civic with a c32b that was chopped with a rwd drivetrain in it.

My apologies, I didn't mean to say that you won't attempt it, I meant to say that I doubt you'll attempt it.
Go price out a swap and then see if it's worth your while to even attempt it.
Also worth a mention, the C32 sits transverse, not longitudal.

I'm all right with cash, I plan on making this swap over about anywhere from a 5-8 year period, so I can save up and pay for the parts. If you've seen the v6 civics with j32's in them, you might see how I might possibly place the engine. They have them placed sideways, and I was thinking it could possibly fit when it's sideways.

Most of the J series engines I have seen in Civics are mounted transverse. I think it could be done for sure. $$$$ x more $$$$ just for the engine, trans, ECU & parts. Never mind fabrication costs.
Go for it.....
Go for it.....

I said I might convert to rwd if it was needed. I've seen some people online selling the engine including the transmission for about $9500 on NSX Prime. If I do manage to get this to work, it'd be a pretty cool swap.

OP: Do it man, it'll be AWESOME!
In all honesty, if you have to post here about it, there's NO WAY you have the ability to do this. Sorry. Not trying to be a dick, but that's jsut the truth.

Re: 98 Honda Accord c32b swap
I heard a lot of the same thing when I started my build too. This is a bit larger scale than mine. I still had people laughing and saying I would have better luck swapping in an H or K, but that's not what I wanted.
This is more like what I wanted.
If you are willing to fork out $10K for an engine and do all of the fab work over time. I say go for it. The nay-sayers will leave you alone in time. I don't have anyone bugging me anymore. Except for the ones wanting to know when I'm going to finish.
I gave myself 5 years to finish my build, I'm almost done year 2. The kids here don't seem to realize that when one has responsibilities some things take time. Not to mention when you want to do things right you need to do your research.
That is the one thing I will say is the most important before going ahead with a project like this. RESEARCH, If you are unable to do some of the things that need to be done. Find a source that can do it and talk with them.

Yeah..I've got awhile to build this. I've been doing alot of research on the c32b motor for about 2 months now..It just seemed like a swap that'd be pretty unique, considering I've never seen it done.

Yeah, I bet I can..There's alot of honda/acura mechanics in my family, and my dad is nsx-certified, he worked on them in Atlanta, GA.
