- Wed Jul 08, 2009 5:35 pm #129208 its only a 100 lb heavier than a b18 motor, so u can use eibach suspension and carbon fiber parts to lower the weight diference between the 2 motors. but then ull be spinning tires with every shift - haha yeah!!!

They do on certain J's. Whats pictured is a J35 which wont sit under the hood with the hasport mounts. the J30's anc J32's do sit under the hood with a custom intake mani quite nice. On youtube theres a Ricer EJ coupe in Orange that has a J32 Type-S in his bay. Sits quite nicely, Tucked under an OEM Hood.

J32 Type-S Swap'd Civics will rape on people. However getting a Manual tranny will be hella expensive

- Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:55 pm #129322 I was close to buying a J series motor!! But here in Cali its Illegal to put a J series in an Eg...Maybe when its legal I'll think about it again...But yeah u would have to beef up the suspension especially the front but there's people that have done it and some have been able to modify it to fit the Oem hood...Its pretty much up to what u wanna do to ur car, even if u wanna and have the money to spend on it... :thumb:

first off.... he found a steal which would be practically impossible to duplicate. goog luck pickin up a 03 CL type s for $1000 that has a working engine/tranny. that tranny alone goes for 3k++. better do some more homework.


1k for wrecked CL
-600 for selling some interior
-200 for selling wheels
+90 for axle resplines
+50 in materiels
+ little $ for misc items(vac caps, etc)

Right around 350 bucks I shouldn't say, seeing how I will eventually sell the car for a premium
