Wiring up the i-vtec could pose a problem, but nothing that isn't fixable. Another problem is our tranny not handling an extra 40hp at all times.

well the 6 speed trannies have their OWN ecu on them. So i'd have to get that ecu w/ the tranny.

k series are easy into a hatch though, they already have the mounting kits and harness's to make it a bolt in project.

That jdm 3.0 is going to sit opposite of older 3.0's because it rotates clockwise. I would talk to Todd at Hasport and see if he has any suggestions. If you have to fab some mounts I dont know if it would be worth it. $$$$$!

my mechanic builds hasports race cars. I'd be able to sit down w/ them and work w. them on it. I didn't know that it spun the opposit though. Thanks for the heads up mark.

I'm preaty sure all i-Vtec's rotate clockwise, even 3.0's. It's weird to pop the hood of new honda's and see the intake manifold right in front of you instead of the exhaust manifold.

*Edit to my last post, guess it is an I-VTEC. Apparently I-VTEC is totally different on the japanese market V6, as VTC wouldn't work too well w/ sohc vtec. Has to do w/ variable cylinder technology I think?

Nah, its some other variant of the J30.
I didn't look at the link, when I did, figured I better check that out. Was associating I-VTEC w/ VTC at first, and I knew no J series had that.

I was researching and this is what I came up with
http://www.globalcar.com/datasheet/H...nspire30TL.htm
the 03 Inspire has this engine.
so when looking into the swap I would say TL mounts...

Yea I emailed the guy asking some questions which he didnt answer. I asked him if it was the J30A1, J30A2, J30A3, or the J30A4 motor just to see what he'd say to that (just seeing if he knws his shit), then I asked him if the original tranny came with it, and if not, then what was the orginal tranny, auto or manual. Lastly I asked him what the stats on the motor was....his exact reply was (with the spacial error and everything, lol):
IT DOES NOT COME WITH TRANSMISSION.IT SHOULD FIT BASICALLYBUT WE DO'NT INSTALL HERE,ONLY TOLD BY CUSTOMER.
THANKS.....................TOM.................... ..888-886-8898..........................

well that's completely understandable. These places just get TONS of motors and sell them. They are strictly motor shops. I remember when the bseries first started showing up, the motor shops had no clue what they were.
