Going to wake this thread up again and give you guy´s a small update.
Passenger side mount has been remade too many times but now is finally done. It will be as a support like on the NSX. At first i wanted it to be more of main mount but will leave it to just hold the engine up. The stress will be on the front and rear mount.
Primed and ready for paint. I added side guards just in the it does manage to snap the bolt so it will not slide off but even the guards are a bit overkill as the engine would have to first rip it self from the rear and front mounts to even move.
Also working on the rear mount. Just need to test fit part of the mock-up and can make it out of metal.
As there is literally no room at the rear of the engine i will have to attach the mount to the transmission using the transmission case bolts.
To give you a idea on how much room i have:
So if i do not cut the mount i have about 3 inches to fit the 2.5" exhaust pipe or if i cut part of the mount (marked with nr.2 )off i will have 4 inches to spare but i will lose the option to attach the mount to both sides of the transmission case. The rear exhaust is going to have a really sharp bend to it .... about 120° or 60° degree angle. Depending on witch way you are looking at the bend.
I made a quick sketch of the mount or what it might look like.
Finished with the alternator and will also be able to finish the AC tensioner pulley by the end of the month. Will be using a modified 96 civic AC pump tensoner Strange part is that the bolt holes on the mount mach the NSX.....only thing is that it is a mirror image of it so a bit welding is need to get it to work. Should get the AC pump by mid April and also fitted.
Alternator with custom tensioner looks like this:
Had to grind a bit off of the alternator to work with the custom mount but it should be OK now. At least i am able to replace the belt and the belt does not scrape the mount.
I would have the drive shafts in the making at a machine shop but it turned out that the driver side axle i got had a different tripod and roller bearings that would not work on the inner end of the intermediate shaft. Also i was not able to find the passenger side drive shaft as it was sold out. Lucky for me 4h ago i got a answer from the UK NSX club that the Acura/Honda Legend has the same spline count as the NSX of 31. So i ordered a legend 3.2l passenger side drive shaft for 49 euro + 88 euro transport here. Should arrive by the end of the week from the US. After that i can cut the drive shaft to length and send half of the accords and half of the NSX drive shafts to get sleeved. ....Yes not the best option but the guy doing it has assured me that it will hold. He has done it to cars with more HP then the NSX so it should be ok. If not then at least it have a mock-up to send to the UK and have custom drive shafts made. The sleeves will cost 30 euro per drive shaft so 60 euro to get drives shafts that have NSX inner spline count and Accord outer spline count.
So if I do get a week of next week the plan is to finish the rear mount, finish the oil pan, get the drive shafts done and fitted, start welding the exhaust and find a shot that will make me a custom TB adapter so i can fit the Honda Legend´s TB.
The weather is starting to get warmer as well so am able to get the car outside wash the engine bay start thinking about painting and final fitting of the engine and other components.
Will update again next week or on the weekend. Not going to be to optimistic but might be able to start testing the electrical components by the end of April ....maybe even a first startup.
