I'm wondering is it possible to put the new 240hp accord engine in an ep hatch.

I doubt it. Why do that when you can get a S2000 mtor that is the same size and has as many horses?

The J30 is a big motor. To get a motor that size into an engine bay as small as ours it would most likely involve lengthening the engine bay which would be a seriously costly modification. I dont think there is any way to get a v motor into our bay.

shoot, at that cost why not just get the nsx motor while you're at it. haha

hmm maybe do it like a mid engined clio sport that would be cool. haha rear wheel drive civic powered by a nsx motor

I lost the pic; but I had one of an 84 crx with the standard sohc motor up front and also had a big block chevy in the back:D :D

The guy was able to drive around town normally with the crx's regular motor but for racing he would start up the v8 and all hell would break loose!
