ok, my buddy (i don't wanna say who cause i might get beat to this deal, we'll call him boostman) knows a guy with a VQ, stroked to a 3.2L, all the internals are done, it's blueprinted, port and polished, balanced, fuel injectors, NOS lines, bored throttle body, JDM Tranny with LSD, unorthodox flywheel, APC clutch, JDM ECU, and a second gen blower. I could pick this up for 2,500 bucks cause he's buddies with boostman and wants to get rid of it. my question, how close will a VQ fit a 3rd gen. anyone know? i mean custom mounts and half shafts won't be a problem, i have a guy that'll do that, but how badly would i have to destroy my frame and body to get that bad boy in there? I don't know how close the blocks are. anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just buy it and figure it out later. BTW I'm selling a kit for that. It includes everything but what you mentioned above. LOL!

No seriously, the blower is worth that.

With enough money, anything is possible. Just depends on how much you want to spend after buying the motor.

Good luck!

hmm last i heard there was this whole "project" going on...it's been awhile though so who knows...you could be right...if it was recently stripped then maybe the motor could be up for grabs but you'd think we would have heard about it...

I'm just guessing so I could be right or wrong... I think someone should talk to "boostman" and see WTF is going on! lol

"the basic story of how it happened: I was really tired, so I left class early. It had just started raining so the streets were REALY slick (downtown on old, greasy asphalt) I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and drove through a red light- right into a truck pulling into the intersection. spun him around 3/4 turn and he stopped in the same place I hit him- just facing west instead of north. my car kept going straight for about 15 feet, then I stopped.
noone was hurt, fortunately. only 2 cars involved"

Hmmm... What's weird is that he said it's a V2 S/C and NSXman has a V1 and NSXman's cousin has a V1.. but I didn't think it was bored to 3.2L?? I'm confused here

Unless Phil is playing tricks on Ryan? lol
