C32A questions??

[nsxkeys]

will a C32A or for that matter C35A motor bolt onto an NSX transmission?
I do understand the internals of these engines are very different.
I am only interested to know if they will actualy bolt together.


THANKS!!

no they will not, no other c series apart from the c30a/c32b share the same bolting pattern for the gearbox apart from the early-mid 2000s j series ie j32a2-j35a4 kinda thing but aside from bolting pattern that it all they share.

Mr. Envy,
so you are saying that the J32a2 will bolt up to the NSX transmissions, how about the engine mount locations?

 

[mr envy]

the engine mount locations are different and yes a j series will bolt up to the nsx gearbox, 5 or 6 speed, there is a build thread on here of a turbo j series in a nsx with nsx box thanks

I'm curous on what are your thoughts on swapping in a Acura Legend motor / RL motor into an NSX. SOHC?

Or maybe he's looking to swap the tranny into a Legent or RL... ?

well I have 2 shells and have been interested in what swaps would work. I know K20's have been done with major FAB work. And I know J-swaps have been done with a bit less FAB work. I had been curious about the C-swap.
The more research i did it does seem that the 01-03 TL TypeS motor J32A2 mated to an NSX transmission inside of an NSX with a GT3076r snail on it. Would be a decent replacement (for less $$) than sourcing a new NSX motor.
I do understand there are some sacrifices on the revving capabilities and such but it would serve a certain purpose (I apologize to the purists, and I do understand it is not ideal)
I do enjoy looking at all available options in the build while keeping the heart of the car in the Honda family.

The k20 swap done stmpo did need a major swap. I know there was some contemplation on making a kit to swap it into an NSX, but stmpo no longer produces products anymore. As for the Jswap, probably talk to Rogue motorsports.
