Why do you want to? Have you happen to come across a C30A engine or something?

I'm saying for you its not possible because if you're asking if its possible, then chances are its not possible. If you were truly capable, you would be taking measurements and speculating that way, and not via an internet forum.

that's just my take on it.

well that's the point of a forum now isn't it... to ask questions, and talk about specific topics. i was curious if anyone's done the build, cause i want a 6 cylinder in my ap1, and i want to keep it honda. and id appreciate if you'd stop being a dick.

I think the main point is if you are doing this yourself or not? If so how many engine swaps have you put in? If more power is the case, then I would just head to the supercharge route, easy and cheap and DIY... (minus the tune).

Have you found a V6 engine at all? Price?? Would guess that it would be a pretty penny, plus installation and custom parts etc..

Reasons for wanting a V6 in your S2000?

Mad torxxs?

The reason dagle is being "a dick" is because your question was very vague and it seems that if you have to ask the question in that manner, you're probably never going to do the swap anyway.

Also, you have to realize that pretty much any swap is possible in pretty much any car. It's all just nuts and bolts in the end.

My answer would have been "no, you cannot put a C30A into a S2000 because if a C30A ever comes out of a NSX, it will automatically know it's not in a NSX and will explode."

Ofcourse you can swap it in. There's probably about 20 million reasons I can think of for you NOT to swap it in...but I have no idea what you're planning on doing with the car. If you're doing a street car, the reasons just went up to about 40 million reasons.

The transmission would have to be completely custom.

if i remember right the c30 nsx motor spins counter clockwise.. which means giant pain in the ***,

a J spins clockwise, just like the f2xC so all you'd need is an adapter to bolt up the tranny.

and J's come with more power than the C's ever did and are MUCH cheaper... j>c

just use a reverser gearset and that will trick the trans to spin the right way even though the engine is spinning the opposite way.

for the cost/amount of work for the payout it would be far more worth your while to go FI.

sure you may not be different, but hey atleast your car won't be next getting loaded into the crusher because it's ruined.

For the cost, amount of time jigsawing, and all the ***** he won't be getting during and after the project, he's better just buying the damn car the C30A came from.

I agree with Boots...if you think Dangle was being a dick, you best deactivate your account now because I have a feeling the heavier hitters will be chiming in soon.
