      @@dinxsy8069 dont be a debbie downer. Hondas are generally easy to build, I work on euro stuff (BMW audi, Jaguar etc but ford are just as bad) I need to buy specialist tools to do timing on every engine, honda, toyota, nissan, generally build their engines with dowels and keys, so its just join the dots, or line up the links and so on. follow the service manual and a monkey (with an eye for detail) could do it with basic tools. If Mr BURNING BRIDGES only ever worked on chebby small blockes, then yes with these videos he likely could tackle a B16.

    Classic, I'm getting my cousin's 91 nsx he put in a curb. So I have fix the suspension. And was going to J swap it. But if it has this C30A motor, I'm going to build it instead keep it original, with all the custom aftermarket parts I have found. Probably easier in the long run. And both will make a ton of power build. Especially with the Ft600s I have waiting to go in the racecars, transmission almost done and engine/ heads coming relatively soon. Shout out to Sean from P2R for the R&D of there head problem, tools, tips, and engine vendors like Ferrera coming on board. Love all the J series guys that are bonifide developers and not out for a quick buck and lackluster custom service. Heel toe, P2R, K tuned, Ferrera, racing break or rb performance, PCI compliance bushings, insane shafts, Honda OEM , Cardinaliway Acura, WPC treatments, Brian crower, the head jobs all CNC machine. CCS engines. Endless Rpm, TB motorsports, Fong from PFI speed, Tuff Track. FuelTech, Love all the new parts companies are working on, finally some J series support, so much needed on a great bonifide platform.

      you should still think about the j route..a lot of the community store their c engines after a couple of miles and swap to j just for the aftermarket and cheap parts.. and keep the c engine fresh.. but then again if you really want to experience the car and plan to keep it forever just run the c to the end of life then j swap

    My first boss Kris Kettlson built a nissan 300 zx convertible with a 4 bolt main 350. This was the fastest car I had ever driven in with a man who could drive the balls off a donkey. He sold the car to purchase the first black nsx in vancouver. That car was like driving in the millennial falcon. Nobody in the world had seen the likes of a car like this. I'm eternally grateful to Kris and his vision in automotive greatness. I've driven every car known to man to this day and the engine in the nsx is something to behold.

    I enjoy getting to see the internal stuff on all different engines and I am always spotting things that cross from one brand to another because they all have things that are interesting or different as well and after a while you start noticing really bad ideas as well. The list of really bad ideas is long but sometimes they are stepping stones to make the whole package better and will evolve over time. The channel I do cars shows a lot of different engine designs so Stephen should check that out.

    Such a neat motor! Love it when engineers get a chance to make something without needing to worry about optimizing cost and mass production. The NSX being a low volume halo car meant they could geek out and use some novel tech. I bet it was inspired by the dominant RA16 Formula 1 Turbo V6 engine made by Honda just a few years prior.
    Supposedly when Honda Racing needed a motor for the 2004 JGTC season they just took a C series and threw a ton of boost at it. It ended up winning both the GT300 driver and team championships.

    Its a well engineered engine, like most Hondas! 78mm isn't that short, my 3.2 liter 911 only has 74.4 mm and it's considered pretty long.

    Pretty cool the cam gear has 1-6 on it and that timing setup look’s tricky
