cl-s swaps are usually done on accords.

-> how much is the motor costing you?

it's a J32A2 3.2L and yes it is a V6....how would it fit..good question thats why im asking you ppl but i saw it done before on honda-tech on a ef civic..and my buddy's doing the swap as we speak on his 1997 acura CL 2.2 (1st gen).

why?.....to be different...i guess..

I'v bean looking around and they dont go for that much acually..i was surprized...the only thing that cost the most is the tranny...b/c it would be 6 speed...eather from a 2003 acura cl-s or 2003+ accord 6 speed or TL-s 6 speed...they all work....

no it isn't prob worth it unless you get the parts for cheap or somthing, my friend that's doing the swap got the parts for pretty cheap and is also putting a honda odyssey head on it.

yeah but putting a cl motor into a cl car isn't that hard as it already has the bigger engine bay, i would imagine alot of custom fabrications and what not and you'll probably be running urethane mounts so it'll be stiff as a ****. but if you can get the parts cheap and get the labour done for cheap why not

the 1st gen cl's (1997-1999) engine bay aren't even that big. if you look at there motor's (2.2L and 2.3L) they just look like bigger lil shity civic motors (sohc) there called F22 sohc vtec..
the 2nd gen cl's engine bay's are alot bigger...2001-2003...i think if it has been done on a ef civic hatch it can be done on an integra...(my thought)..

I don't think you're getting it.

If they can squeeze a 3.2L V6 into a chassis that was build for an F/H22/23, what makes you think a chassis that can barely fit an H22 can fit a V6.

Like someone said, anything is possible with enough money. I could fit a bugatti veyron W16 in my teg.... if i got rid of the cabin...

If you've got a thread with an 3.2 swapped into an EF... why are you even here asking?
