JDM J30 engine...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-H...QQcmdZViewItem

So, what exactly is this engine? it says it fits 97-99 CL's and 98-02 accords which leads me to believe its the J30A1. However, by just looking at it I'd assume its a J30A4. Also looks like it could be a J30 block with J32 heads.. . Anybody know for sure?

No way to be sure from pics, but you may be right as to J30A4... I don't think that motor is oddly mated.

one other thought, if its a j30a4 that means it has a drive by wire throttle body, so it wouldnt work in the 97-99 CL's/98-02 Accords without some modification.

04 Accord V6 J30A4: observe the power steering belt..


it goes to the alternator where as on the j30a1/mystery engine it goes straight to the crankshaft pulley

If it's really JDM, then it's the J30A3 engine with IVTEC. The wiring would be a nightmare, which is the reason why no one has bothered to do the swap. The JDM J30A3 puts out around 212hp.

Yo Chris, whats taking so long with the swap? Is gutting the motor taking all that time or trying to get it sit in the car?
