So I have been researching and reading my butt of about this swap. Swaps are nothing new to me, I've been swapping between Hondas for a very long time. From your normal b and d series swaps to an h22 in my crx. What I'm not find is the information on the wiring. What is actually needed for this? I have a base model and don't plan to do the type s motor swap.

I'm not sure if you can swap the 6speed trans to a J32A1. Also why would you want to use the J32A1?? If you're going to pull the engine anyways and do the swap, then spend another $500 on a J35A3 and have some fun.

This is a daily driver for me. I want to swap the tranny to avoid the transmission problem that will arise down the road. I have a boosted EF b16 for fun

If you're wanting to swap the transmission simply from a reliability standpoint, the transmission from a '06-'07 Accord V6 is the ideal replacement. A couple ancillary items bolted to the transmission need to be swapped over, but then it bolts up and goes. Essentially, that is the transmission Honda came up with to finish out the 7th generation Accords after compiling all of the failure data from the earlier ones they were having so many issues with. They are available for around $6-800 from many of the online salvage yards and will cost you much less than the swap to a manual transmission will.

Will the AV6 bolt up to a J32A1? Does it have the same bell housing as the J32A2?

Exact same pattern. It didn't change until much later. There are many Honda/Acura V6 vehicles and they all changed at different times, but I believe the first few began to do so in 2003 with the J35A5 in the MDX.
