Hope this settles it for you.

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

As far as I've always known the 91-00 have a c30a1...which is a sohc

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

Are you sure you aren't thinking of those shitty Acura Legend cars? The NSX has a high output powerplant, DOHC Vtec.. why would honda throw a shitty motor in their top rate sports car?

C30A (270HP) for 91-96, C32B (290HP) for 97+ - both motors DOHC VTEC v6 USDM engines.

Try research before you post next time.

I know I did, just had to make sure I was right, but thanks thats all I need.


b16kidd, tell your fat ass brother he's wrong.

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

actually there v7 tohc's

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

just by looking at the valve cover among ALL the nsx, it said DOHC VTEC ;D

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

Ok.. we're here to try and not make people look stupid.

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

Where did you hear that from?

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

No disrespect, but dont you think honda would throw all it had into its #1 built sports car??? Why would they put a SOHC head on it when it is just as easy to put a DOHC on? Welcome to the forum though ;D

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

that site says that VTEC was first used in '91 in any honda car. Is that true cause I could have swarn that they started using it in some of the JDM civics and CRX's in '88.

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

^^^^They must be refering to USDM vehicles.^^^^

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

I was always confused by that...which model/year JDM/EDM Civics and CRXs came with which motors??? ZC DOHC, ZC SOHC, B16A1(other than XSi teg)? I'm confused? ???

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

The JDM SiRs came with a b16 and the JDM Si came with a DOHC ZC. I have no idea about any of the other ones.

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

the nsx was never a sohc. When it was indroduced in the states it was the first vtec engine in 91. Plus think of it this way..have you ever heard of a sohc inline 4 putting out more than 200 hp na?

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

i'm not sure what you mean... the NSX has a v6... ???

Maybe you mean... oh hell, I don't know.

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

huh? i know the nsx has a v6 thats what i was saying. I've never heard of a sohc 4 cylinder making 280 hp na

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

that is one of my favorite cars of all time. I'd love to have a 93-95 legend coupe. 245hp v6, 6 speed manual, heated seats/HID/navi/etc. you're out of your ------- mind saying that is a shitty car.

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

i saw one today actually..those seem like an acura version of a prelude but luxury... those arent that bad of a cars

Re:Question about a NSX......Newbie
 

VTEC was introduced in 1990 for the first time....
It was first used in Honda's Formula 1 engine before that, but for production cars it started in 1990 with the CRX and CIVIC Sir or the CRX and CIVIC VTi in Europe.
They sold CRX's with the DOHC Vtec since '87 over here. They vary in specs and engine code...from ZC1 to D16A8, D16A9 and D16Z5(all DOHC ZC) some Civic's also came with the DOHC ZC, but they are only a few.
