So I picked up Honda Tuning and there is a nice lengthy article on swapping in a J series motor from Odysseys, Accords, TL, CL, MDX into crappy Civics/Integras..

A company called API is making kits for this to be done. It's fairly easy to do and they go on saying how right now the only harness is available for the manual trans from the CL/TL but will be coming out with one for the auto's as well.

Biggest problem is hood clearance. If this takes off and is cheap (which they say is much cheaper than a K swap) I'm worried that our TL's will end up like the Intregra GSR/ ITR as far as theft. Our heads/cams/IM from the Type S bolts up to the other J series motors for increased performance.

i saw that dont four years ago one of th eg nuts (92-95 civics) around here he cramed a 3.0 out of a 98 cl in a 93 dx that car was sick it was an auto not manual it ran low 9's in the eighth stock with headers and cai i myself have an 92 eg thought about it once but 4 banger turbo is way better i dont think it will catch on plus that set up adds a lot off wait to a civic my turbo and all the goodies dont add up to the wait of a 3.2 and tranny but it is cool

you can pull a j series out the salvage yard for 200 bucks

if there is an easy way to do it, it will be done.. most ricers dont do motor swaps..
most of the swaps are for real tuners.. and even if they are civics, tegs, accords etc: i can respect putting money into a motor.. as long as you leave out the body kits and airplane wings...

i hate bodykits looks tacky after u spend 5 g's on a paint job and stickers and no motor my cars a sleeper stock paint no tint no stickers still has the dx on it 15in honda civic wheels stock appering exsaust cant even see the gauges its only when i hit the gas u know u just got spanked by uncle bens also most people swaping motors dont do v6 swaps its more expensive then swaping another 4 banger wiring and all that bs

Yep. I love it. I have a friend who is swapping my old motor into his integra and boosting. Should be lovely.

Hasport makes a kit and they're are already a few videos up of Tim and his EK.

Bigger motors in smaller cars has been popular forever...
I've seen a Northstar V8 stuffed into a Mk1 MR2, and it is driveable, steering at WOT may be a bit of a problem! Check it out...

i think hasport has a mount kit for the swap too.

I know P2R here in miami has a J series EF on boost. my dumb ass cousin want me to do an insurance job on my car so he can get my motor. The idiot offered me $500. if he wasnt family i would have him

p2r parted out that car. and hasport was the first with the mounts.

who knows they might start making more performance parts for our cars. Since our engines are going on civics/integras.

all they can make is internals now. diff intake design between us and the civics layout, and the headers are the same. and their are options for that already.
