dont give up man. she is depending on you. but def dont sell it back to this worthless sack. let an NSX get this treatment should be a crime
Best of luck with the restoration! IIRC the auto engine actually produces 252 hp vs the 270 from the manual-equipped cars. Believe the main difference involves the cams. Bottom end should be identical between the two.
So I do have a little bit of updates but no time to get them on here. I found this engine on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/NSX-C30A-EN...NSX&hash=item232f95e229&vxp=mtr#ht_102wt_1213 I know it's from an automatic, but it's crazy low miles. Is it just as simple as swapping cams, intake manifold, injectors, and wiring over? Any help would be appreciated.
Nice, you're the first person I heard of that had actually checked it out. $15k wouldn't have been so bad but I guess I did better than $20k. Scumbag is just about the perfect word for him.Wow I tried to buy this car, glad I didn't now. Good for you fixing it though hang in there buddy. I offered him 15k for it with out knowing all of the surprises you now know... He was holding firm at 20k..what a scumbag.
Just checking back in here, all I can say is "yeah, that seems about right", lol .
I had to replace the head gaskets in my car, but lucked out that there was only a small flaw as opposed to being completely blown..... and, coincidentally enough had a little damage in the same front tow hook area (only on the driver's side). The carpet in the steering bracket is a new one, but you should have seen the rats nest of bare wire and zip ties involved with the "professionally installed" alarm system and radar detector I had to excise o_0.
Anyway, keep it up, I have yet to regret my rescue attempt.
keep it up man you can do it.... need items PM me I will donate to the cause
Essentially, yes it is that simple. That engine is from a 2001 auto, so it is drive-by-wire. However, the bottom end and the head internals (except cams) are identical to your engine. So, you would need to swap the cams out of your original engine(this is what Shawn was referring to- the autos use less aggressive cams to reduce power), and use the complete intake manifold/throttle body assembly and ECU from your original engine. It will bolt right up to the 2001.
I got you man, what else you need? I have tons of shit I will give you make a wish list and PM me.
