    Default K20 NSX...........

    I wouldn't do it but I guess others will. I know it's alot cheaper to build a K20 but after fabrication it'll cost about the same as to turbo a NSX motor. It's to much work but hey it's something new.

    maybe the nsx was a theft recovery and the k swap may be cheaper than a nsx motor only real reason i see someone would ditch the stock nsx motor

    The motors lighter??? That could be my only guess. Other than that its like taking a LS1 out of a vette and putting a 4.3 in it. Makes no sence.

    why not though? they swap 2jz's out for 3sgte's in supras for racing the for jgtc...why because of lighter weight and almost the same power potential

    Makes sense to me, especially if you are paying a shop to do all your work.

    Lets say they are starting with a bare chassis, with no motor or trans. A nsx motor and trans is going to cost like 8-10 grand. Then add another 5 or 6 grand for the motor build, and another 9 grand for a BASIC love fab kit. You are looking around 22 grand for ~400 whp. Thats not even counting instillation, a decent ems, and all the other shit that will nickel and dime you to death..... Se we will say 30k

    I think you could have a reliable 500whp kseries for about half of that.

    Lol, yeah. They do this to make it fit but also performance with the equal length tubes. So it serves as a few purposes.

    It's alright if they didn't have a motor to begin with. I mean if you have the money then you can do whatever you want.

    There is an NSX is this months modified I think makin like 6 or 700hp with the V6.

    when i had my 350z i was thinking about doing a SR swap. people said i was stupid

    people will say the K series NSX is stupid too. id rather have a K24 with type S head thats boosted in a NSX over a C30A or C32B. cheaper and alot easier to make power.

    a K24A1 from the CRV has 9:6:1 factory compression, toss a type s head on that bitch and some boost and you got semi-decent TQ for a honda and can make 450whp stock block with a lighter motor. how much will it take to get a C30A to 450whp? bang for the buck baby!
