3.0 engine vs. 3.2 engine, what are the major differences???

[psix2c]

Hello everyone,

I am requesting information on the major differences between the two NSX motors, the 3.0 and 3.2. I was wondering how the 3.2 increased the displacement from the 3.0 motor. Is it due to a bigger diamter bore, or a different crank. Is the block the same size? I am seeking information on this matter due to that I was thinking about purchasing a 91-95 nsx and seeing if I can duplicate the power and specs of the 3.2 engine. Any information to this topic will be greatly appreciated.

The displacement increase is due to a larger bore. There are many other differences in the '97+ cars, but if you throw headers and exhaust on a 3.0L and you'll probably have about the same peak HP.
