what’s going on guys/girls i did a search and i don’t think i came across or maybe i did not word it correctly,but any thoughts or opinions about a V6 build for our Gen vehicles? Is it just not worth it? too expensive to attempt? Not enough aftermarket support? i just wanted to get some thoughts.
Personally I’m not much of a fan of the idea. But then again I don’t really like H or K series swaps in DA’s either.
J series engines are becoming more common in other chassis, but I can’t recall seeing a J powered DA.
Not sure but I think it would be too heavy, and expensive.
I’ve never seen it done in a G2 before, but it would be very similar to installing it in a G3 Integra. If you do decide to do the swap, please post a build thread and keep us updated! If you really want to know about the engine and the swap, here is the place to go:
ive made the decision, If the sad day ever arises that I total the TL. the J swap will be going into the teg:D
I dont plan on ever wrecking it so Ive realy done no reaserch on the mater.
have you checked out j32a.orq yet?
EDIT phatcar beat me to it
oh man i can’t imagine all the understeer you’d get with that thing in the front.
it’d be an awesome project though. props to whoever pulls it off.
Well, I was contemplating it, because we also have a 00 TL which comes with the J32… and we are swapping in a 6spd CL motor and tranny into the TL. So I will have a left over engine and tranny. It might be a fun project… first DA with J swap? :rockon:
Could have a nice looking hood when you’re done. Pretty sure this is the same one from Colin’s post.
DO IT, YOUR NOT DOWN!!!:rockon::rockon:
I don’t think the hood will close without cutting up the hood like that guy did.
And there would be torque steer and understeer like no other.
i would love to see this happen
rb26!!
I’ve been to that house before lol. During the summer for import alliance the owner of that place had a bbq and the person who owned that teg brought it out for the first time at the bbq
Here is a video of a V6 teg. This thing is fast as hell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELFqQ3riMdM i can just see this going in a G2.
Straight six, with an awd transmission. Cool if done, but way off topic here.
What would the advantage be over putting a j series in say to a k-series? besides the fact it has 2 more cylinders. Is it relatively easy to tune or modify?
I’d love to see this done, but I’d love seeing a comptech supercharger hanging out of the hood too.
Some guy did it before. It was a yellow Integra. I don’t have any pics but umm if u guys find it, post it.
Do you guys watch “powerblock” on spike TV. They installed a V8 on a I thinks was a miata.
:rockon::rockon:
if your a real man youll do it
i personally know three people with a V8 miata.
one Ford powered (aluminum block from a lincoln navigator)
one LS1 powered with cam and headwork
one LSx hybrid (LS3 and LS6 hybrid) with nitrous
these are some of the most scary cars ive ever driven
400+hp AND ft/lbs in a miata?
tires become a little more than a ring of smoldering rubber within a few seconds.
