The NSX engine in 7thgen front end has been done. But it was on a hatchback body. Signal auto made it. They also converted the thing to front wheel drive. So it's basically a hatch, with an NSX engine under a 7thgen front end. Search for it in Super Street. I read it there.

LIES!!! ALL LIES!! sorry guys. when Sport Compact Car asked Mugen what motor they liked working on the best they said the H22 because it is so responsive to modifications. By people saying the K series is more responsive then a H series motor thats taking it a little too far. It might be older then a K20, no doubt, but new doesnt mean better. oh, and Sport Compact Car is willing to drop an H22 motor in a new civic.. if you got the money.
Have you ever compared dyno graphs of the two motors? Honestly. Cause if you have, you would see plain as day that the K20A2, and K20A motors respond much better to mods. You cant tell me that youve seen an H22 motor get 15whp from just an intake...but Honda Tuning has proven that on the K20A2. What about 15whp from a Race header on an H22? No, havent seen one of those either. The truth of the matter is that the K series motor has to be one of the most restrictive motors that Honda has ever produced. So, by putting simple bolt ons, and even heavy bolt ons like turbos, and superchargers, the K motor will net more WHP than the H22. Here is an easy comparison for you, which you can look up for yourself if you want. Goto Jacksonracing.com, and look at the dyno charts for the 99 prelude, and the 02 RSX-S. The prelude and the RSX-S have the same setup when tested. CAI, header, and exhaust with the JRSC. The prelude got 234.5whp compared to the the 254.6whp from the RSX-S. Tell me that the H22 responds better to mods.

^ Yup, so are HP Racing headers, Kamikazi headers, top speed headers, all the "racing" stuff they are all illegal yet people see to put them on their car anyway
