Honda Tuning Mag Civic w/J32 Swap
I was just at Barnes and Nobles and happened to pic up the new Honda Tuning Mag. On the cover was a civic with our engine sticking out of the hood. Here is the link http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/f..._v6/index.html
In the last paragraph it states "As new-model engine bays become smaller, and consumers power demands continue to increase, automakers are relying on V6 power now more than ever before. Because the engine uses three cylinders on each bank to turn a common crank, many V6 engines are only marginally larger than the more popular inline for, and much narrower in comparison to the inline six. Honda utilizes a 60 degree V6 for their J series, which is the most efficient cylinder bank for a compact size and vibration resistance; requiring no balance shafts. Though Honda enthusiasts who purchased a V6-powered CL or TL were never really treated to a large number of options from the aftermarket, that may soon change with the buzz surrounding V6 Civic and Integra swaps currently heating up."
This sounds promising since i plan to keep my car for a long time. Enjoy the article.

True, I was thinking more of a turbo kit that dsnt have to be custom, aftermarket engine internals, maybe more clutch options, a piggyback ecu do we have one? I just know of e-manage blue, etc. Plus cheaper pricing. The motor mounts is what i want most, i can try to do the poly fill but that dsnt seem like the best option if we can get some nice aftermarket ones.

There are a lot of products, but R&D becomes more cost effective for companies when targeting larger audiences; so we could see better products. Competition breeds innovation and higher quality. Plus, it's nice to have options for more of these parts instead of having one or two companies making them. Either way, it's nice to hear about the potential!

So I was in the store picking up a engine mag to get more knowledge on porting when I came across the magazine your talking about.
Well after reading into his mods he has a custom cls ecu.
What,did I miss something, a custom cls ecu....
I thought they were none exsitint.
Can anyone elaborate on the custom ecu ?

Theres a shop in Newport News, VA that has a J32 swapped Civic, and they chipped it somehow. I havent heard any news lately, so who knows if it was successful.
