The Title of their page says it all.

"Specializing in Acura/Honda V6 VTEC engines"

Considering that the J-series and C32B (NSX) are the only V6's with VTEC...


Also.. Honda V6's (at least the J series) is very compact and lightweight..

Not exactly sure on weight, but I think they are less then 1500

It's amazing the power they put in these things, my buddy has a boosted 3 rotor It's a $40K motor
