NSX C32 vs. Legend C32
How closely related are the engines in the KA# Legend and the NA# NSX? They're both C32 motors, but one is DOHC VTEC and on is SOHC non-VTEC. Can parts be swapped, or can one motor be dropped into the other? I'm thinking about getting a 1991 Legend and I'm wondering what I might be able to do to it.
I do not think the short blocks use the same internals. However, I believe the transmission bell housings will hook up to either motor. Don't know if the clutch will work.
youd have to find a 97+ NSX engine, if your looking for parts. even then i doubt it would fit. the internals of the NSX engine are hand built and put together. its a DOHC and the legend is SOHC.
the only relationship might be the engine block.
What's the engine code for the 230hp Legend engine? Was that a DOHC?
Even if the stuff did work, could you imagine how much those parts would cost??!!:eek:
