Engine. J32A2 If needing a new engine look for a CLs-6 motor (if not see below *)
03 CLs-6 speed manual.
03 CLs-6 Manual Engine Harness. 32110-PGE-A11
03 CLs 6 speed ECU
03 CLs-6 Flywheel 22105-PGE-305
03 CLs-6 Flywheel bolts (Qty 8) 90011-PGE-000
03 CLs-6 Clutch Assembly 22105-PGE-305 (unfortunately right now there arent many options for aftermarket clutches) Spec sells a full line of clutches and flywheels now.
03 CLs-6 Rear Engine mount and bracket 50810-S3M-A01, 50827-S3M-A00, BOLT (m12X25) 90166-S3M-A00 The stock mounts work but they will not last forever due to the additional power and torque Also there are aftermarket mounts available from innovative. I have a set ordered and I will update after I see how they work out.
03 CLs-6 Rear and Front Engine Dampener and bracket (i would reccomend aftermarket here) There are no aftermarket applications that I know of but there are custom solutions
03 CLs-6 Shifter and cables. 54100-S3M-A01, 54310-S3M-A01 The 6th gen accord shifter assembly works fine and bolts right in. I used that and a custom boot for mine.
03 CLs-6 Starter 31200-PGE-A11 (try to locate used, its expensive)
03 CLs-6 Gauges Not required. The factory gauges work just fine
03 CLs-6 Hydraulic Clutch lines. 46960-S3M-A01, & 46970-S3M-A01
03 CLs-6 Trans mounts (2 of them) 50806-S3M-A03, 50805-S3M-A03 There is also a third part to the mounts that the mounts actually bolt to since they don't bolt directly to the trans.
03 CLs-6 Cup Holder 77230-S3M-A01ZA Not required. The automatic one can be used
03 CLs-6 Parking brake 47105-S3M-A04ZA and to go with it, Not needed either
Spring 47537-671-670, Nut 47522-594-000, Equalizer pin 47365-538-000, Equalizer 47360-SB2-000


*If you use the J32A2 from the Auto you will need these parts (all from the CLs-6)

Front cam pulley 14260-PGE-A11
Front plate assembly (behind cam pulley) 11860-PGE-A10
Timing belt pulley(lower) 13621-PGE-A11
Crank shaft sensor 37500-PGE-A11 (this little **** costs $500.00)
Subharness for CKP 37501-PGE-A10
TDC Sensors (Qty 2) 37840-PGE-A11
TDC SUB HARNESS 37841-PGE-A10

If you dont already have the Type-s you will want the IMRC 37850-PGE-A01

Brake/Gas pedal assembly from either the accord or CLs-6. (i modified mine)
If you decide to buy it new BRAKE PEDAL ASSY 46600-S3M-A51 I would use the ones from the 6th gen accord as well

Clutch pedal. (this can be from a few cars, i took mine from a 90s civic. it was almost a direct bolt in.
It uses 3 points to bolt in only 2 lined up. I modified a bolt and shim to make it bolt up in the 3rd spot)

If you decide to buy it new you will need the pedal and mount CLUTCH PEDAL 46910-S3M-A01 & CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET 46990-S84-A01
MASTER CYLINDER ASSY 46922-S3M-A01 & Clutch Fluid Tank 46965-S5A-013, & Clutch Hose 46961-S3M-A02
(i used the one from the civic i pulled the clutch pedal out of)

Things im not sure if you will need but i bought.

Relay box assembly (under hood) 38250-S3M-A21
Shift Boot 83414-S3M-A01ZA
Shift **** 54102-SL0-023ZB

If you have a header you will either have to have the XS header or COmptech header for the manual. Other wise it wont fit
You will be able to reuse the stock manifolds

If you already ahve a Type-s you MAY Not need these????
Right side cabin to engine comp harness 32100-S3M-A12
Left side cabin to engine comp harness 32120-S3M-A20

I Would attempt with out (that i bought and used with out trying without first) It will make not having to do all the rewiring of
that i did.
Upper instrument harness 32117-S3M-A31
Lower dash harness 32150-S3M-A32 For the harnesses all you need is plugs from the harnesses that go into the ecu and the actual ecu plug from your stock ecu in order to plug the stock dash harnesses into to make the jumper over to the type-s ecu. This is not for a person that is novice when it comes to wiring.

You can use any J motor, but to use a motor from an auto, you'll need to convert lots of stuff to the manual version if you want to use the 6 speed. For reference check this thread for the parts list to swap the Type S into non Type S Accord/CL/TL chassis. You'll see there's a list at the bottom of stuff you'll need to convert if you get an auto motor.

That's just for the Type S J32 which had the optional 6 speed, not sure if it would all work with other J's that only came automatic, with a long list like that expect lots of searching and expensive trips to you Acura dealer. The best bet is still a 6 speed donor car.

Money and time is a necessity, but it might not have to cost more than other swaps if you can find good deals. Engine mounts and hood clearance shouldn't be an issue if you do the same as Pinho, his hood closes. I have no idea why Hasport didn't make their mounts like that, I'd like to know what they did for axles compared to pinho, I'm guessing axle placement is the reason their kit sits like that.

Wiring of the swap was really gravy...but figuring the speedo and tach will be your toughest part of wiring. Thats something I'm working on right now.

the TL and CL transmissions mount up differently(on top with HAsport mounts). HASport mounts are designed to work with the TL mounts. For the CL, you have to drill and tap a new hole into the case.

I desoldered the imobi chip and the car starts everyday. Drive it everywhere- movies, mall, stores, shopping, etc.

transmission: ??????????? ATM unknown
injectors : siemen Deka 680cc
Turbo: Borg warner S256SX


Once I find out my clutch and transmission requirements, this swap will get moved ahead quite quickly.

anyone with J swap knowledge welcome to post. or anyone.

Do I have to get a Specific year J series engine?
Like I found a 2002 J30 for cheap, but would a 03-07 accord 6speed tranny mate to it........?

jsut curious as to why you would choose the j30 or 35 and skip right over the j32?

I haven't ruled out a J32, but I found a J30 for 400$ shipped to my house with all accessories.

but I haven't completely decided which engine, because I do want one that can handle some boost.
