1997 Acura Integra LS with J32A2 Type-S Swap

 

Up for sale is a one of a kind Acura Integra. This clean 1997 Integra is equipped with a V6, 3.2 Liter TL Type-S motor! 260hp and 232lb-ft of torque are unmatched in the world of 4-cyclinder vehicles. This Integra sounds mean, and has the power to back it up! As you can see the hood has been custom fabricated, allowing for this rare swap to sit exposed to the near-by on-looker. The J-swap is an uncommon swap to see, let alone own. This is your chance to save the hassle of building one, and own it today! This car is truly exciting to drive, and guaranteed to turns heads where ever you go!  

History:

I purchased this car several years ago from a friend who was leaving for the Army. He originally completed the J32A2 swap, with intensions for track use only. Over the past 3 years I have put this car back together for weekend enjoyment, not just track use. There are still several loose ends that need completed, as I have not fully completed this build. Here is your chance to complete several loose ends and take pride in completing the build, and not just purchasing it. This Integra starts and runs as if the it were brand new! The motor has low miles and is very reliable, starts every time, doesn't burn oil, no smoke or idle issues, and pulls harder than any Honda I’ve driven.

The full car harness was originally converted to a 2002 Acura TL automatic. The motor was later upgraded to a 2002 TL Type-S motor. The issue is this vehicle has an automatic ECU on a 2003 V6 Accord 6-speed transmission. The ECU thinks the vehicle is in neutral and will not engage the VTEC or reserve lock-out. I cannot change the ECU without having it chipped to bypass the factory ignition immobilizer. These issues can be correctly easily with the AEM ECU, or CL Type-S ECU and 6-speed engine harness. The car runs and drives great, only lacking VTEC at the moment. I do not have time or desire to complete this vehicle, and would like to pass it to someone with the excitement for unique Hondas. I am currently in school full time, and work full time on top of building two other cars; my loss is your gain. This car is truly in great condition, and about 95% complete. You will also be hard pressed to find a green Integra that doesn't have tan interior as well. If you’re into unique builds, than this is the car for you!

2024 Acura ZDX getting Google in its infotainment

Tue, Jun 6 2023

Acura is joining a number of automakers (such as Polestar, Chevrolet and others) in integrating Google apps directly in its infotainment system, first on the 2024 ZDX electric SUV. The integration includes Google Maps, Google Assistant and other Google apps. Additionally, the infotainment will continue to support phone mirroring apps such as Apple CarPlay and Google's own Android Auto. Among those apps, perhaps the most useful will be Google Maps. The reason being that it will be able to plan routes that include charging stops and charging time estimates. In addition to the routing, Google Maps will be able to tell the car to start preconditioning the battery for the fastest possible charge times when going to a DC fast charger. Of course, other Google apps will let you sign in with your account so that you have access to them without connecting your phone. But fortunately, you can connect and mirror your phone. This is notable as the ZDX will be on the GM Ultium platform, like the Honda Prologue. And GM is removing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support from its upcoming Ultium models. So if you do like those features and are interested in the Ultium electrics, you may want to consider the Acura and Honda models. Another interesting tidbit from the Acura infotainment announcement is the fact that the ZDX will feature a touchscreen for the infotainment system. Almost all of Acura's current gas-powered vehicles use an infotainment system built around a touchpad, which is the only way to interact with the system. The one exception so far has been the Integra, which simply lifted the Civic system wholesale. Acura didn't say if the touchpad would also be included in the ZDX, though the screenshot of the system seems touchscreen-focused. The ZDX is going on sale early next year, with a reveal presumably happening between now and then. As previously mentioned, it will be Ultium-based, and we're expecting it to be similar in size and performance to the Chevy Blazer EV. A high-performance Type S version will be offered, and we wouldn't be surprised if it gets something similar to the 557 horsepower of the Blazer EV SS.

2021 Acura TLX nabs Top Safety Pick+ honor from the IIHS

Fri, Dec 18 2020

The Acura TLX is all-new for 2021. It's built on a new architecture that we're told is the brand's most rigid other than the NSX. In our first-drive review, we called it "a true enthusiast's sedan." Now, we know that another benefit of the car's redo is improved crash performance, as the new TLX has earned a Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The 2021 TLX bettered its predecessor in the challenging driver's-side small-overlap front crash test, achieving a Good score versus the previous model's Acceptable rating. The 2021 TLX also garnered a Good score for the passenger-side small-overlap front crash test (the previous version was not tested) and for the agency's other crash tests as well: moderate-overlap front, side-impact, roof crush and head restraints and seats. Additionally, whereas the previous TLX's headlights were deemed Poor, the new TLX's LED headlights were judged Good and are standard on all trim levels. Also, the TLX's collision-avoidance technology earned Superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and the vehicle-to-pedestrian test evaluations. Related Video:

NSX Concept-GT is the world's hottest way to boil water

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

The Honda NSX Concept-GT is one sexy machine, and it looks to be a very effective tool on a race circuit. But Honda's latest web spot leads us to believe that it also can be used to make tea.
In the video, the racecar is hooked up to an apparatus that uses tubing to harness the energy from the car's 500-horsepower hybrid drive system, using it to boil water. The novel tea-making technique reminds us a bit of a couple other inventive Honda commercials, namely Hands and Cog.
Watch the NSX ad below, and be sure to turn the sound up to hear that glorious engine note.
