it could be done with the right mounts. I think Hasport came out with a kit to put it in the 94-97 accord. Dont know if its in production yet though.

Very expensive, plus there's no write up . Hopefully the wiring harnesses will come out...right now, all the work would not be worth the A4...the K24A2 yes, definately...but $3-6k for 10 horses? Ehh. Sure it responds much better to mods, but no way IMO. Wait for some kits to come out and try to pick up an A2, then you're talkin

Unlimited budget+C32+6 speed+lots of time+lots of hacking=drifter CL It may sound dumb to people on here, but i would so do a RWD conversion if possible

the C32B isnt meant to hook up to a FR drivetrain, so youd have to convert to MR. . . so that being said, just buying the NSX outright would be cheaper. . . by a LONG SHOT

i know it would be cheaper, but the swap would be sick nonetheless. I've seen a C32 swapped into a CRX and dual D16's swapped into a EF hatch

okay hold on. C32 yes but it wasn't a NSX motor, it was Legend motor that i've seen.

etierh case, its a stupid idea. you are MUCH better off swapping in a J-series or a 4cyl, 4cyl's are gay (yes i have one, and its gay). if i had spare money and didn't already have a full time project car, i'd be swapping in a J-series into my CL

I remember a Legend motor in a civic 4dr and rwd, but i've also seen an nsx motor in the back of a crx

late model NA1 NSXes (97+) with Manual transmissions ran a C32B, I think old Legends ran a C32A. . . but yeas all early NSX models and 97+ Automatics still ran C30s. . . and I think all NA2 chassis models ran with the C32B as well

Um yeah.... a turbo stroked 4 cyl vs. a stock 3.2 TL-S... Yeah that will really change my opinion cuz it's such a good display of a 4 cyl vs a 6

yes, i know which models the different C32's came in. I just recal seeing a Legend motor in a civic or something. CRX could have had something else.

werd, take on a built H22 VS a built J35. then we'll talk.

hater, maybe but with reason, ie, i have a 4cyl CL which is heavy and slow and doesn't get the best MPG b/c i have to drive it hard inorder to get it to move. then hop into my legend with WAY more power and same amount of weight, pretty much, and have to bearly give it juice to get it moving unlike the CL and I get 25mpg out of my legend with a V6 3.2, which i don't baby.

now why would u say something like that? just cause the F23 you have isnt that powerful doesn't mean 4 cylinders are gay. There are alot of 4 cylinder cars that would give cars with more cylinders a good beatdown

There's a 1400+ HP drag car that's based on a Toyota 3RZ-FE engine. Granted, it's fully boosted and running n2o, but it's a 4-cyl nonetheless.

Theres also a couple youtube videos that shows the almighty Jseries getting an asswhoopin' by not one, but two 4 cylinder CL's. Right Subbuzz? lol

the motor i pick would be based on more than just 4 vs 6 cyl, so i can't answer that based on just that. I mean 4 cyl's aren't gods gift to the car world, but some of them are nothing to laugh at either.

We saw what a bolt on 3.0 CL vs a bolt on h22 CL race looked like, the H22 won time and time again. Do u think your 3.0 would fair better vs. an H22 CL Chris? (probably have a better chance since we all know percy can't drive lol)

and Alpo you're comparing ur Legend which you've spent countless hours and dollars maintaining and upgrading to your daily driver CL which you just beat on for a daily driver. I'd choose the Legend over the CL too in that case! As for gas mileage, idk why you get such crappy mileage, i beat the living daylights out of my CL but i get great gas mileage, maybe cuz i maintain my CL like you maintain your Legend.
