A shop did a C32A in the rear of a NSX, there are pictures floating around on the board.

the first nxs's had a c30... they went to a c32 around 95-96... can't remember the year.

C32 was NSX Anyhew, there is NOTHING stoping a NSX from running FWD, it is just the positioning of the motor that make it MR.

jake1511

well im sure it would be nice to find an nsx motor for sale... anywhere. so im just gonna have to stick with a lame non vtec c32a . im sure it will perform very nicely, but i just need info on a swap like how much im going to have to modify the engine bay to fit this pig *** motor in.

dr_latino999

Well, it won't be going into the front, I can tell you that for sure.

yeah... you'll probably have fun with the steering getting in the way.

but hey... good luck.

anythings possible with money. id make an adapter plate and mate it to a th350 or th400 or you could ge a t56 6 speed and get an irs out of a thunderbird, get custom axles and dare i say, chop the hell out of the crx. run it without a hood. or get a custom hood. would be insane. but with that kind of money you could buy a v6 rear wheel drive camaro (id go v8) and mod the hell out of it. you'll need alot of research in structural suppor of this car and you have to chop out the floor and make a tunnel for the tranny and driveshaft to fit. alot of work but itd be awesome.

I wish I had the kind of bank to think about stuff like that. Seems quite pointless tho... You can get huge power out of b series engines....and you'd be adding enormous weight to that little car. Although, if you want to go insane like that, why not try something like an f20c (s2000) motor swap. Probably would be easier and a much better engine for the car, I think.

Putting the legend motor into a CRX would be one of the stupidest things anyone could do imo. Do your research and youll find out.

i've always kinda wondered how possible it was. I've heard rumors but i dunno, i've never actually measured it up.

I guess i'm the only one open to the idea. I guess you guys will tell me this car doesn't exist then:


Sorry for the shady pic, but you get the idea. It can be done, just the question is how much. If you're good at fab work and have the time, it could deffinatly be done and not cost much. Does anyone have the dimensions of a newer TL motor or any Honda v6 for that matter?

drussell4801

no one of the stupidest things to do is tell someone something is stupid WITHOUT explaining why

Just incase jake wants to know, that car is a EK hatch that Signal built for drag. Seen it in person, and it is an amazing feet!!! Signal ROCKS!!!

njn63

yeah, that car is chop top too. So well done. I'm too lazy to upload my other picture of it but it's on this page:

you should talk to http://www.Speed-Garage.com my old roommate Bill that worked there swapped a Legend V-6 into a CRX and made it fit no problem.
