Swapping F1 v10
Guys I have been thinking and dreaming about installing the baddest honda motor available in an NSX... But my question is if it is possible to swap a F1 V10 in an NSX or S2000 If no tell me why please.
And also which car do you think it is more compatible with...

Yes, The V10 option in the NSX would be the best project.
I remember a few years ago Renault stuck a F1 powerplant into a van. The engine was mid mounted so the van body made access easy.
Best bet would be to start with a crashed Honda F1 from a wrecker so you have all the supporting electronics, gearbox and rear suspension. Let us know when you have these, and a NSX donor car.

The project will not be done soon obviously, but I want to get opinions from the enthusiasts that matter most to me and they are S2k owners. Is it true the engines need to be rebuilt every 500 miles?
I heard that from another forum.

Well that would be amazing if you could swing it... but utterly pointless... you'd never get to ring the thing out on a public road. Ever.
Yes, you would have to rebuild it constantly... these are 10 cyl engines that are designed to run up to 20k rpms.
The amount of money it would cost to maintain it would be absolutely absurd.
The last time I was on carclassic.com, though, I saw a used F1 engine for sale...
