ive been thinking about undertaking this project of swapping say a 3.2 TL v6 motor into an older chassis like an eg. i know its gonna need everythign to be custom.. what im most worried about tho is the wiring. is there any info on this swap out there, i know its been done, but u cant search "v6" on h-t so i cant find anything.

someone gotta have a link or somehting

 

I work at an acura dealership and actually had an mdx block and 05 tl heads that I intended to put in my 89 hatch but clearance is a big issue. Fitting it in the front of the car would require cutting a lot of the frame rail and it would just be near impossible. I was actually going to weld an mdx subframe in the rear and make it rear wheel drive, but i lost ambition for that. As far as the wiring goes depending on the year, the ecu transfers data through the gauge cluster so you may need to use a cluster as well as the ecu and harness from a tl. Fuel delivery would also need to be upped and keeping the check engine light off due to insufficient catalyst operation (since you wont have as many cats as a tl most likely (there are 3 on some) may be an issue. Im sure its possible but propably very tuff. If you decide to go for it I still have the mdx block and I have 3 or 4 TL ecu's. If you have any specific wiring questions I can get ETM schematics and post them up here for you.

I saw somewhere on H-T someone who swapped in a V6 into an EG. I don't feel like searching for it right now.

 

theres a local guy that has a tl type s swap in an ek, and it looks like it fits pretty well... althogh that bay is alot biger than an ef bay
