nsx engine?

[Guest]

I never hear of NSX swaps, cuz of the cost from RWD to FWD and other associated costs of converting a mid engine whatnot.

[Guest]

i dont even think it would fit its a in-line 6 right? but i dont think theres anybody in fargo that could do it.
what does the stock rsx put out?

[NickB]

its a 3.2 v6

if you wanted the nsx engine just get an acura TL typeS(basically same motor) and i believe its setup for fwd correct?

turbo. cheaper, easier, more power ^^see mr thompson for proof

ok the nsx is a rear wheel drive car so that means u would have to make the rsx a rear wheel drive witch costs lots o money u should have sombody in town build u a LS v-tec they make lots of power but cost alot to do or somthing like that

so you're telling him to sell his k20 motor to run an ls/vtec? that's one of the more retarded things I've ever heard. look into the power potential of your k20 motor, you have a good platform to build off of.

explan k20 i dont know what it is

Engine. Considerably more expensive then LS motor. I think some sponsor car (some rsx) just went 9's with it all motor.

[Guest]

buy a honda civic and put the k20 motor in it....have you ever seen a civic with a 6 speed?? that would be awesome.

[Guest]

I almost did a k20 swap into my 7th gen civic , lots of money but I was going to go through with it, but it was a LOT cheaper just to get the wrx and run better times with that.

K20's are perfect for boost. One of my favorite engines!

<u>K20a3</u>
160@6500
132@5000
9.8:1
2.0L 16-Valve
DOHC VTEC

Get it and turbo that bitch!

Bryce, that kind of compression would require low boost (which is the likely route) or a ridiculously high octane fuel. Although you'd probably see a rod punch a hole through the block before you'd experience detonation. The K24 would be better for a turbo, although I'm fairly certain that AFR is around the 10.0:1 mark as well.

boost magazine (from car & driver i think...) put a supercharger on the k20 and ran like 4.7 psi. actually, there have a been some arguments on honda-tech about which is better for a turbo: high or low compression. low compression means more boost for xxxhp with significant lag, whereas higher compression means less boost for xxxhp with a little less lag. i think the #'s were 9:1 vs 10:1
granted, many other factors come into play (fuel mainly), but that was the basis for the argument

[Bryce]

There is not very much information out about k20 turbo's since they are such a new engine. I know that Gredy makes a kit for the k20.

[PSiedTSi]

isnt the type s 200hp?

maybe im retarded or both

[Bryce]

Here is where I got my infromation.

[PSiedTSi]

yeah i believe its a different motor for the type s...well i mean its still the k20

[PSiedTSi]

the Si k20 is the same as the stock rsx i believe too
