Default C32A in a CRX\Civic

I wanted to know if it would be possible to put a C32A engine ( newer legend ) motor in to any of the Honda light body style cars ( CRX or Civic any style). Id assume it could be done but how hard would it be ? I used to have a legend before I crashed it and I just wanted to put the motor into one of hondas cars. Id take suggestions or comments. Thanks guys.

Yeah mang, it just as easy as putting a K motor in a last gen CRX, lol.

No seriously, I wouldn't bother. More hacking and custom crap that will take time.

Unless you have a nice 10k welding maching next to you and years of fab work experience, sure, do it.

Other than that, people think its easy but quite frankly, its not.

If you do it, good luck. Post some pics and 1/4 times to show people it doable!

lol Thats just it I have a friend thats doing that. Hes on this forum I dont remember his name but I have a c32a motor.

It would just be a project that would be fun to finish if done. 200hp from a DOHC motor would be funny. Ill wait and see what others say. It was just a though it my mind......

It has been done. Search Honda-tech.com. It was done in an EG I believe. Not worth it imo.

I searched Honda-tech but didnt find any info about it. I dont think that it has been done. If i cant find anything about it then I guess ill just have to be the first to do it .

They do sell performance parts for it but it through a guy on the internet. Headers, pulleys and some internals. There developing a supercharger for it now....
