David, great work on your research so far! Can't wait to see it all comes together.
Sorry didn't make it up to the Street of Dream that weekend, had family emergency.
I'll be sure to come up one of these weekend to see your progress, can't wait to have you on a drive soon.
Hmmm since you're the master at swapping these now, can you put in a
VR38DETT in my NSX? LOL.
Brandon, no problem. Stop by anytime, I would be happy to show you the build.
The VR38DETT is a great motor. Who knows, maybe I will twin turbo the J32.

is there a reason you went with the auto motor instead of the manual? Are you going to be using Aem Ems for tuning? I may be jumping into the j-series after my motor gives out. Im interested in doing a twin turbo J36 stroker with some aftermarket low compression pistons. Here is a thread comparing the j37 rods, crank, pistons to the j32. As you can see the forged j37 parts look a lot beefier.

Adrenaline, I went with the auto motor partly because of the AEM unit as a fallback but mostly because there are far more auto J-series motors out there and they are less expensive than the manual motors.
I have read about the J36 before and I think the short stroke of the J32 is a better match to the gear ratios and rev characteristics of the NSX, but who knows where this could end up. One great thing is that there are so many J motors out there and a lot of the parts are interchangeable. Once the build is up and running, I could pick up a J35A3 for $500 and swap that in very easy.
