NSX C30A swap? - Honda Prelude Forum

4thGenReady2Go · 04-06-2004, 05:06 PM

Lol, I'm bored ... anyone ever think about whether or not it would be possible to swap a C30A NSX engine into a prelude? I'm imagining it's probably to wide accross, but that'd be awesome if it could work. Of course I don't even want to know how much one goes for used, but nonetheless, this might make for entertaining conversation.

Anything is possible with enough money :0).

well I am expecting some back on my tax return ...

You could turn it vertically, get a custom tranny and make it rwd... just an idea. I highly doubt it would work though.

just popped my baloon there, thanks

its like my friend telling me his friend with an integra put a viper engine into his car. which of course was BS.

lol, of course not, but I read on some message board I found a link to through searching google where someone said he knew a guy who dropped an NSX engine into his integra, and someone else mentioned he knew a guy with an NSX engine in his CRX.

it's easy! just take a prelude, cut out everything but the body, and build a chassis with the same prelude wheelbase. drop the NSX motor in, put the body on, and you're done!

I also read a post somewhere about some dudes who took a 4th gen lude and dropped a Legend V6 engine in, but had to strip the car of everything but its shell and modify the frame to make it fit.

4thGenReady2Go · 04-06-2004, 08:00 PM

yeah, i believe i read that one too...

I've seen the picture of the CRX with the NSX engine, it's a tube frame with the engine in the back. Do a search on the CR-NSX on google, you'll find some stuff about it.

luduh · 04-07-2004, 03:39 PM

I've seen pics of a del sol with the NSX engine in the back hehe

4thGenReady2Go · 04-07-2004, 03:56 PM

lol, i luv it, can't get the roof to stop leaking but hey, let's drop an NSX engine in the back.

Satan_SRV · 04-07-2004, 07:31 PM

yeah good luck fitting that one in..

4thGenReady2Go · 04-07-2004, 08:09 PM

forget fitting it in, how about affording one in the first place.

brendon2k · 04-08-2004, 10:25 AM

I didn't think a NSX motor is that long. It would probably be hard to get it in because how much wider it is than an I4 but I would say its possible but who would dump all that money into a Prelude.

4thGenReady2Go · 04-08-2004, 10:32 AM

lol, a better question is who hasn't already

I read that the engine only weighs around 400 lbs, that's pretty sick.

Forbidden · 04-08-2004, 06:50 PM

I don't see why the engine would be much longer since it only has 3 cylinders long.
