Jseries V6 Swap

[bud6770]

EDIT: Looks like hasport mounts?

 

[Svr_Civic]

i dont think hasport mounts let you run a oem hood for a 5th gen either only the custom made mounts ppl have made to make the motor sit lower lets you retain somewhat of a nonshitty lookin hood setup... good luck though

I would love to drive a J35 swapped Civic.

I've actually been looking into buying myself and the girl a TL Type-S when I get back from Iraq.

Go ahead and do the swap bro, make a nice writeup or progress thread so everyone can follow as well, piss a lot of the haters off.

 

[rwlsvtec_03]

word! j swap is pretty nasty. what j35 do you have? i read a bunch about this swap in hondatuning. how much did everything end up costing?

 

[hardcore97]

there was a guy on here selling a j motor but i dont remember which one it was

 

[rey_boricua]

keep us posted !!!!

 

[kdogg]

yeah that guy was me....but i sold motor all i got is 6 speed lsd tranny and oner axle and AT wiring harnss and ecu and headers...thats it...if anyone is interested....

 

[mixwell]

the 3.2 type s from the CL are the only ones that had a LSD tranny.

you will need lsd. the 3.5 may be too tall for the engine bay.

3.2 type s > 3.5

Well after doing some long hard thinking i have decide to go with a J series V6 motor and a 6 speed tranny in my 2000 Honda civic Coupe i know ur all going to stay its a stupid swap but its my car and i wanna do it i have seen them in a 1992-1995 hatchback civic and they sound pretty good so im taking the test and going ahead with the swap how has anyone here done it or trying to do well post pics has the swap gets started here in a about 2 weeks thanks

did you read the last issue of HONDATUNING if not look into that they recently did that v6 swap and tells you how to do it in a smooth way. I say go for it and tell us how it goes

 

[BBrads2000civic]

and kdogg it wasnt you the guy im talking about is from MO and only had the motor

 

[kdogg]

I dont want to thread jack.......but i am working on this same swap.

There are 2 things that came up as a pain in the @$$,
1. The wireing harness, if you dont mind the check engine light on then do it, or you can do what i am doing and pay out the @$$ for someone to do it for you.
2. The hood, Hasport made the motor mounts to sit the motor higher, because if it was left toward the ground the headders would scrap the ground.

This is what we did to make the hood fit, the pic you put up was another civic with custom motor mounts to sit the motor under the hood.

 

[BBrads2000civic]

how much for the motor mounts and what year and ur car what year is it

 

[Kaotic_Zeus]

won't be a easy swap but i'm sure it'd be totally worth it.

Make it a sleeper... now that's sexy.

Well because Hasport only sells this kit for the Eg, i had to buy 2 type's of kits to make it go in.
The hatch is a 98 CX.......was a 5 speed.
