J-series is in a few of the euro/japanese accords, the Odyssey minivan, TL, CL


C-series is strictly the NSX

8200 ain't bad, I'm sure I could live with it.

So turbo's or no? There up to like 325 hp stock right?

actually, only 290hp stock, no turbos. not insane amounts of power - honda's philosophy is back-to-basics: lightweight.

that's why the nsx and s2000 do so damn well against their more powerful competitors.



fwiw, the C32B in the current nsx-r is the epitome of honda engines - the showcase of all their motorsport heritage, translated into a street car

then it wouldn't be worth it NA. I'm betting I can make 290 hp crank on my motor. I'm already making at least 250+ with only intake and headers....... Should know something soon about head porting. Cams and a computer are coming. Header is in the future....... should get close (theoretically)

Nope... I guess it's the v-12 after all....

no, a c32b is very worth it. the mod potential is vast compared to the f20c. so much more available.

btw, the amg v12 idea you should just throw out the window. it's a freaking brick - heavier than you can imagine.


a nice swap would be an S54 m3 straight-six. lightweight but powerful - and moddable, even while remaining NA

what do you think the c32b could be taken to? FI or NA (I like NA for whatever reason) for the record, I didn't like the idea of the AMG motor anyway.... I though about the s54, but I think it's too long.
