I am thinking of doing a hybrid swap that is a little different. I just recently got my hands on a J32A6 out of an Acura TL. I am seriously thinking of making a conversion bell housing and adapter to bolt a B series or K series transmission and flywheel up to it. I have the machine shop acess and I work at an Acura dealership. I am definately not new to the hybrid honda thing (I have had a few swapped cars) and I am familiar with F.A.S.T., Power FC, AEM EMS and other tuning systems. I am just looking for some thought input on this.

I have a pretty good idea of what will have to be done......I cannot decide on which transmission to use as of yet because I do not know the rotational orientation of the engine as of yet but I will before the end of the day. If it is conventional then I will go with a K and if it is unconventional rotation then I will be going with a B trans. I will probably have to get custom axles made because of the relocated transmission location. The engine/trans stack height will not be much if any wider because the J32 is a V-6.

I dunno......just curious if it is worth even trying

 

The Honda V6s rotate in the conventional direction. What car would this be going into?

Oh, and the first person to mention the CRX with the NSX engine in the rear gets a cookie...

 

this will probably be going in the FRONT of a civic hatch or teggy chassis......possibly even a civic coupe

 

HEY DANIEL BEARD ( DIRTYSOL)-
THANKS FOR MAKING GOOD ON OUR DEAL!!!!

Did they mount that 3.2 longways or sideways in the TL? I know my buddy's Legend engine (obd1 3.2) is mounted longways...which would make a B series/K series tranny worthless. I don't see how you'd be able to squeeze that thing into a civ/teg front end and make the axles line up. Maybe with no hood, limited turning radius, and not much suspension travel? Seems your efforts could be used better on another project...throw that thing on the back of a dunebuggy and walk some wheelies!

 

Dan, I would like some of whatever you're smoking.

I saw a Legend V6 mounted in the back of a 3rd gen Prelude once, but this is getting a little crazy. It think that if anyone would be able to put forth the raw determination to get it done it would be you, but I still just don't know.

 

I've seen a rwd legend powered civic sedan on ebay.
