    Can you stick a diesel engine in a acura nsx?

    I've seen an acura with a 6.1 hemi engine that you get from a dodge charger srt-8. So can you put a 6.7 cummins diesel engine in one.

    doesn't have to be a cummins

    A diesel engine and trans out of a truck probably weighs about half what the entire NSX weighs. Not only would you need to redo the entire car to handle the weight the torque would bend your car.

    This would be utterly pointless.. the nsx only has a v6 in it because of the weight and its meant to handle corners well.

    Im sure you could, but it would be totally off balance and would only be good for going straight which would be a total waste of an nsx
