BMW engine in a Honda?
Just curious, is it possible to swap in a BMW 328ic engine into a 91 Honda Accord? The BMW engine is a 2.8L inline 6 producing 190hp and 207torque. My question is, can it be done as easily as a swap with an H22a engine? Or would the cylinder/power difference prohibit the swap? Please reply if you have seen or done it before or if it's possible without a major overhaul of the entire drivetrain/axles etc.
My friend just wrecked his car and I might be able to salvage the engine. The engine wasn't damaged at all. Thanks. |

First of all, the 328 engine/tranny is for a RWD vehicle. Cheaper to buy the H22 by far than to even think about attempting this swap.

RWD, cranks the other way, mounts traditionally, electrical connections, a million other reasons...
Take your pick. |

and one more reason not to do it is that BMW has some ECU problems. they are very fragile

Was just curious if it was feasible, but looks like it's not. Thanks for the replies. |
