K20 NSX...........

**1989_crx_si** · 03-18-2009, 07:41 AM

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.

**EJ25RUN** · 03-18-2009, 07:44 AM

um? Different. But yeah, i'd keep the 6 cylinder.

Brian* · 03-18-2009, 07:50 AM

That's a big why lol

**mocha latte cupcake** · 03-18-2009, 07:52 AM

lulz wut.

**Mr. Clean** · 03-18-2009, 08:06 AM

a sprayed turbo k series in an nsx.

i can't think of many LOGICAL reasons to do this.

**takume** · 03-18-2009, 08:09 AM

What?

**JDMJAYDC2** · 03-18-2009, 08:15 AM

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

i would hope so,

Or maybe its just a Really Bad Joke

**jew_boy** · 03-18-2009, 08:15 AM

it a weird swap but creative

**SLOWR/T** · 03-18-2009, 08:17 AM

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.

how?

less expensive motor, parts, and turbo'd for the same price as a stock motor that makes less power.

K20 rated ~ 220.

C30 rated ~ 270-290

K20 + turbo ~ 400.

which is a better deal?

**cactusEG** · 03-18-2009, 08:38 AM

why would anyone do this to an NSX ?

**jew_boy** · 03-18-2009, 09:03 AM

well why would someone go SR over KA??

light weight.

dun dun dun!!!

and why would a fat boy like you dont get something with more power and tq.

**Sammich** · 03-18-2009, 08:40 AM

THIS IS JUST GAY

**xdavidscenex** · 03-18-2009, 09:01 AM

i like it.

really nice.

**yerrow** · 03-18-2009, 09:04 AM

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

**DieselNuts** · 03-18-2009, 09:07 AM

is it just me or does that turbo look like its in the complete wrong place?

research man. this is 2009. not everyone have LOG manifold anymore.

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

**Mike Lowrey** · 03-18-2009, 11:48 AM

That swap is pure fail.

LAME! K is the swap of the decade in integra and civic chassis, not NSX chassis.

Just why? The NSX is already a pretty balanced car, therefore throwing the K in it could jeopardize the handling of the car. If money is problem, get out of the game! Don't buy a car, you can't maintain.

How many NSX's have you seen on a road course? How many NSX's do you see successful on road courses? They're twitchy just like the S2k and cost ALOT to maintain. Like VTECKIDD said, two of everything on the engine. You can get them for under $20k. I almost bought a one owner '91 with all maintenance records in '03 with 99k miles for $18k, immaculate condition. There was no way I could get a loan on a 13 year old car and I wished I traded my Land Rover in on it!

I can promise you reducing weight near the CENTER of a car is not going to jeopardize anything...it is a mid-engine car remember? lol! I've seen chassis' go for under under $10k years ago so it's really nothing that special other than a really nice aluminum unibody to start a project with.

my bad, I don't like Hondas anyway, so why would I do research on them?

**ATL_EG** · 03-19-2009, 03:34 PM

a part of me just died

**Bruce Leroy** · 03-18-2009, 09:18 AM

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.

**The BUCKY** · 03-18-2009, 09:46 AM

yea boost on those v6 are not cheap at all and they max out around 430hp u can get the same power outta the k series for alot cheaper and the weight savings would be nice

**C-loS109** · 03-18-2009, 09:48 AM

i want my money back

**CHADbee** · 03-18-2009, 10:06 AM

Ur the man Chad..I was just about to post something like this..I know of atleast 4 350z professional drift cars that have either Blown the motor or started without one and put sr20s in them..I know the Parts are Alot cheaper and still have almost the same Hp capabilities as the v6..Basically the same concept here..K20s can hold 400whp daily on stock internals..Spend 1000 on a Sleeve And Turn the Boost up!

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!

+Repped for taking the words right out of my mouth

**yeaiwonder88** · 03-18-2009, 04:51 PM

Not much at all....this is pointless the hp turbo hit made 600 hp on stock nsx motor...so yea..

**4DrTeg** · 03-18-2009, 10:09 AM

i like..its very different

**2turbo4u** · 03-18-2009, 10:20 AM

wouldn't you want more weight since its mid engine that shit would loose traction in a minute?
