jus wanted to know if ne1 know anything about modding a 98 passport engine wise...its a dohc 3.2 liter 2 wheel drive. i figure it to be a tough and fun project for me... i know for sure i want to custom fit a twin turbo rh5 to it for sure just to begin wit....any suggestions please enlighten me...

 

You're wanting to make it turbo? How much do you want to put into it? How you going to use it (drag, street, etc?)

 

it could be done. my brother was running a 75 shot of nitrous on that engine for a while. it was pretty quick, but he just traded it in for another car.

 

aren't those things isuzu troopers with a honda badge or something?

 

Yeah it's all the same basically. My brothers was an Isuzu Rodeo.

 

That's an original idea. Probably won't become a reality, but a good idea.

 

if you wanna mod a suv, get an early nineties model jimmy. I always thought a bronco 2 lowered with a 5.0 drivtrain wedged in it would be cool... alot of custom fab is probably in your near future. A fast suv ala typhoon is always a crowd pleaser though.

 

exactly the same, gm made the 'unnamed' motors for honda, they just slapped the badge on and called it their own. everything from a rodeo will work on a passport, and vise versa.

thats why the new saturn SUV has the 'unnamed' honda motor in it. i hear its supposed to be strong too

My wifes Isuzu has the 3.2 ltr in it and we are about to swap a honda motor in it. They are the same bolt pattern, but different internals. honda/isuzu. the motor is bullet proof. Get the honda motor. we beat the hell out of ours (but its pretty messed up). I would like to hear about a write up on this if you can find anything, even if you can find anything for the honda 3.2 ltr. I would like to check it out in detail. I have only ever heard the hear-say. Let me know man....
