I dont get it, are you asking questions are telling me what you going to use.
If you are planing on useing that motor, good luck trying to find a way around the drive-by-wire, my friend my have found a way around it, but as this J-swap is at this time, it would be a easier to go with the J32a2 set up.
But on a plus side, you have some nice things on that motor that i want on my J35.

hello, thanks in order to have to me answered, unfortunately here in Italy e' difficult to find a j32a, this occasion I want to take advantage of it. I am trying an Ecu that it goes well for this motor, but not know which or. of sure me it serves an Ecu for motor with manual change, if someone of you sold, would make me happy.

Talk to EVSone... He did the same swap. Here is a thread listing some of the steps so you can get an idea of whats involved. No small task.

LOL! Evan won't even look twice.

He didn't even respond to me when I asked for help with my J32A3 swap.



Your swap can be done but it will be very involved and require a lot of wiring. The "Pseudo Exhaust" which is cast into the head will also be a challenge. You'll need to run pre-cat deletes, or run factory CATs and they're about $600/each new from Honda. If you want to run a 6 speed trans this will also create a major challenge, you will need to buy a lot of little extras that will add up into the thousands before you know it. (if the engine is an AUTO)

Also, these engines require 5 O2's to run with the factory ECU. YES... 5 O2's.

Good luck man.

I am doing the J32A3 into my 96 Teg. It was also TBW but I am running a CL-S intake manifold and throttle body. I am also running pre cat deletes and using 3 O2's with the CL-S ECU.

No, this thing just fits under my EJ6, and i also have a 08 LX civic, and just looking at it i would say no.
But, with some money anything can be done.
