C32A5 into Civic?
 

How likely is it that a c32 out of an Acura legend would swap into an eg?
I saw one at my local junkyard and was wondering how likely is this? A six cylinder civic would be so badass.
If it is likely, how difficult would it be?
I'm not looking for an "anything is possible if you have enough money" type answer, I know that https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif
Would this be a swap with the difficulty of a f22c1 into a civic? or far worse?
I have searched but there is really jack shit about legend engine's in general on here, much less this swap.
Please help!!!!Any info at all will be appreciated....
I've grown weary of trying to find local swaps and this one is looking pretty nice lol

Come on guys someone knows something...

What measurments would I need to take of the engine to see if it would fit?
Wheel base? axles length? engine height, length, width?
Any help would be great https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

bump this back to the top. Someone knows something, like if this will not work for sure or if it can work.....

I am going to guess that no sane person has ever or will ever do this and that if they have their grey headed and suffer from complete stress from this swap. You might want to look at the Integra and del Sol with engines in the back, they'll probably make what you are trying to do look easy.

yeah i have seen they few integra and sol's with the mid engine, rear wheel drive conversion and it does look incredibly difficult.
But a c32 in a civic...it's a v6 so it's THAT much larger than an H for instance, if it even is, plus it's fwd....so fitment would be the only major issue (besides wiring) and the older legends aren't too big so I would imagine that the hardest part would not be size but the axles.....
let's see some imput with some facts https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

*edit* i remember reading about an NSX engine, which is a straight six and rwd, in a crx which has a smaller engine bay....just food for thought

Re: C32A5 into Civic? (CivicVX94)
 

NSX motor is a V-6. C32A if I remember right. The C32A5 is so big, their wouldn't be enough room period. The crank pulley would easily hit the chassis, and let's forget about the firewall nightmares you would have. Plus it would be a guaranteed drag only car with that much extra weight in the front. If it was me...I would gut the back and put it back there...it may be possible, but again...if you have the money it could be done.

nsx have c30a's and c30b's. for some reason I was think they were inline six which would most likely be a lot harder to fit

someone around here successfully swapped a cl type s engine and tranny into a 97+ prelude. all i know is the front end of the prelude had to be extended 6 or 8 inches.

Thank you. Man, if you want the facts I will give them to you. No chance in hell without more money than most small countries make in a year and more time than any human has.

Radiator to firewall too small.

Wheel arch to wheel arch too small.

No one is answering you because this isn't going to happen. Go find a junked B,H,D, or F series to swap in. I am trying to help you man. Those are the facts. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif

there you go, all i wanted was facts on why it wouldn't work. You didn't give those in your first post, nobody did. It doesn't help to flame on an idea if there are no facts on it https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif but now apparently there are

this swap has been attempted before, back back back in the day. team redline and wicked racing both had eg's running a C32A1. Both were both turbocharged set-ups If i recall, and Wicked's was called the "Batmobile". I used to try to keep updated but I eventually lost interest. Note that this was back in 1997, so yes this swap has been done before.
