Sold/Expired Acura 3.0 200 hp V6 & transaxle

patooyee · Jun 3, 2013

Pulled from a 1999 CL that I had that went to the scrap yard. The motor ran great when I pulled it about 2 months ago, it did have a bad O2 sensor but it didn't smoke or use oil. There is a leak somewhere in the PS system put the pump did still work fine as long as you kept the fluid topped off. The trans was slipping and will need a rebuild if you want to use it. This is one of the uncommon Honda engines that actually spins the correct direction. So you could build a front engine trans axle buggy out of it, which was my plan. Or build a rear engine and run your axles upside down for high pinions. Now I just don't care to spend the time in the shop anymore and its taking up space. I pulled EVERYTHING that I thought would be useful from the car including shifter, exhaust, coolers, master cylinder, random fittings that would be hard to source after the fact, sensors, all wiring, ECM, CV's, etc. It all comes with this. Basically, add axles and a chassis and you have a cheap 200hp buggy. If you've never driven a 3.0 Acura CL before, they are VERY powerful for such a small car.

Asking $800 OBO for everything. Located in Milton, FL. PM me for my phone number.

Any idea what this set up weighs? BUMP

570 lbs as it sits there with the harness and both engine and trans full of fluids. Aluminum block.

Oh, and my Honda friends inform me that those engines typically fetch more so in the $600 range so I'll lower my price to that.

I want to put this in a little buggy so bad but the transmission scares me. (Its got too much computer controlled crap on it.) Its unique in that it is a standard rotation Honda engine. So if one were to adapt it to a TH350 they could build a normal front engine buggy with it. The FI is just like any other MEFI car and OBDII but is there tuning software for them? The weight to power ratio is awesome. It really is such a waste to get rid of this engine. Anyone got any more info?

I think my weight above is wrong. I'm going to re-measure it soon but the internets is reporting the engine alone is 250 lbs fully dressed. (Aluminum block and heads.) That would seem more realistic to me.

I wish I knew about this when you came up to RBD and delivered my 14 bolt.

Re:

The outputs are on the side of the trans under the engine correct? Ever get to nc?

patooyee · Feb 10, 2014

Never go to NC, sorry. But yes, it is a FWD car, so outputs are on the side of the trans.

Do some searching on transaxle buggies and / or honda buggies. Most that use these transaxles don't run t-cases with them so there are no adapters needed. But if you're wanting to run a different transmission behind the Honda engine then I don't know what is available in terms of adapters for that.
