OoOoOoOOO! Nice sunroof!

 

[Yellow Rose]

Looks like somebody hurt the original engine and will "upgrade" in time for Spring. :smile:

 

[Climberao]

Ok so what's the new vrroooom going to have. Naturally aspirated or supercharged. The list is endless so don't keep us in suspense. I guess this is your new winter project?
Have fun !

Was this related to the cams?

I have had a cascade of internal events that ended with a cracked cylinder lining So I figured the best way to deal with this was to plop in a slightly used 3.2.I also am going from a 4.55 rp to 4.23 with a rebuilt diff(thanks Larry B)I will have options that are more reliable in the future,should I need to bump hp further.

Larry threw in my 4.23 and I couldnt be happier with the setup; and luckily you have a 6 speed with the shorter gears in it anyways. Id roll FI and have a beast for this summer :biggrin:

I'm still an NA dude at heart,but slapping a supercharger on top makes alot of sense as well.We shall see.Anyway my car has won the title of longest suspension on a lift at a busy deallership

 

[docjohn]

Well ,,finally got a few bugs worked out,and we are back in the nsx driving business!If any of you 95-96 folks need a new engine,the 3.2 is a nice upgrade,I can feel the slight torque increase.The most important things to do in the swap is plug the air recirculation system for the ulev if it is a newer motor,and use your old throttle body with the new engine. :smile:

 

[nsxhk]

Doc...

only slight torque increase? that's it??

Henry.

 

[docjohn]

On paper there is not a big difference in torque,going from 3-3.2 liter,but I do feel the car accelerating quicker at low rpm in higher gears than my old motor. :smile: Not a mod I would do just for that fact,but anyone who blows a 3.0 motor and needs to replace it assuming you have a throttle by wire ecu should replace it with a 3.2.I have heard of folks with older cable throttle cars getting complete ecu-wiring harness swaps for the 3.2 as well. :smile:

 

[NetViper]

John,

Do you have a 6-speed or 5-speed?

 

[docjohn]

I kept my old 5-speed shorties but I changed the 4.55 rp to 4.23.This does give me some better top speed in 4th which is what I need for the track.

Sweet upgrade DOC! I was thought you might have been bit by the FI bug :biggrin:

 

[Hapa88]

I didn't know Brembo made strut bars. How does your braking improve with it? :biggrin:

 

[docjohn]

I think they tie an anchor to it and throw it backwards!
