c32b in a cb7

[KLEENKREW]

There was a CRX on e-bay with a V6 C-series swap late last year.... if that engine fit in a freakin CRX then I don't see why it couldn't fit in a CB7

Here is a civic with a C-series swap.







If you have the time and $$$ anything is possible for a car build. Want a B18C Daewoo? just buy just the engine and shoehorn that thing in there! Really all the engine just needs something to house it. Just get a chassis,correct axels to drive the wheels, ecu or some form of management,fuel tank etc along with required mandatory chassis modifications and you can have the hybrid of your dreams.

Look how bastardized old Nissan/Datsuns are! Those cars along with other mid 60-70's makes probably seen more engine swaps other than it's own brand. Thats what keeps the classics alive when better and newer technology comes out.

My favorite Nissan chassis is the S30. How I wish I never got rid of my '77! I was a dumb kid in high school that wanted a Integra and nothing else. If i would've known I could throw a LS1 or RB motor in there... I probably wouldn't be a Accord enthusiast right now. There was a local guy here in Napa Ca that was doing a s2000 swap into a Z.... i wonder if it's finished?

^^^^Hit the nail right on the head.

Sometimes it doesnt take alot of money either. Ideas, Time and Mechanical/Fabrication Skills will take you far. Example My dad has been kicking ass at all these big motorcycle events(rats hole show, AMD, Easyrider ETC) with a 15k Bike up against 100k+ bikes. Its because hi innovation/cleanliness is so much different then everyone elses builds

That Civic looks amazing!


However, if someone wanted to use a C series with a Legend 6 speed transmission (as everyone seems to want to do), it would be a hassle to install. The C series in that car is longitudinally mounted, like a RWD engine... and the transmission is a majorly funky design. Making all that fit would be costly, difficult, and pretty pointless. It'd be easier to achieve that power with a simple H22 swap, or a mild turbo build. Or hell... a J swap would even be more straightforward!

I was going to bitch about the revival of this 5 year old thread yet again... but those Civic pictures make it worthwhile

Wow, thats a serious widebody on that Civic!

My Dad actually has two 1st gen CRX Si's, he is building up one with the Mugen widebody kit, which is not as radical as that one.

that things pretty trick actually. off topic but imagine the offset the kids nowaday would have to run on that thing to get em flush...

yea it can be done in my town there is a guy driving a c32a in his cb7 not impossible by any means if u have know how and do ur own work ur all good.u want pics i can have him swing by and grab some ,but theres lots of fab work u I REPEAT U have to do it all theres no help,out there and why do it? ill answer a 3000lb needs a v6 put h22 in crx and move not in a big ass cb maybe a boosted hduece but think about it if u built cars before,rock off. i put a 5.0l-302ci- in a 87 300zx that was beast thats real powa there lol

Do it. I'd really like to see that.
The last retard that was on here making that claim never followed through with pics. Then he posted pics of someone else's work, tucked his tail between his legs, and never showed his face again.

a v6 would be stout, with the torque and your cb would probably move out of its own wat then, but... a boosted f22 is way cheaper and easier. a 300hp all motor H swap is easier. Hell the j35 swap "SEEMS" like it would be easier. if i wanted a v6 that bad i'd go with the j swap. just me.

[SOHC-FTW]

300whp N/A H? that be expensive.

[deevergote]

I wouldn't drive a 300whp N/A 4 cylinder ANYTHING in a street car. That's way too much power, likely with far too high a powerband, to be anything but extremely frustrating in a daily driver!
300whp N/A V6 on the other hand... you can buy those from the factory from Nissan and Hyundai right now.

Then again, I wouldn't want that much torque in a small, relatively light FWD car such as ours. I've had torquey FWD cars before (Grand Prix GTP... 280 lb·ft, Wikipedia says it was likely under-rated, and really put out 310 lb·ft... either way, that's massive for FWD.)

well, i'm still doing research on which motor i'm after. Im at a tossup between a boosted f series and an h22. i know this is off topic and sorry to the OP. but this guy has built a few. and its a good read. http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/...ild-beast.html

2 stepping at all red lights then riding the clutch, great DD material! I would drive such on the street to the track, but other than that nope.
