New NSX Engine Cost

[NSX_SB]

I was at my local Acura delaer picking up parts for my 1997 NSX and my 2004 TL and visiting with the parts manager. They had a 1991 NSX there that might need a new engine, so the parts manager looked up the price.

A short block (no heads) cost $23,000. The heads are $5000 for the pair. So for $28,000 you get an engine with heads but no fuel injection.

He also checked availability and found that the new Chino, CA warehouse had three engines in stock.

I guess that's just a reminder to take care of your engine. With installation costs, you would spend more than most other cars cost.

most nsx guys that blow their engines (generally after adding forced induction) end up buying used rebuilt engines for about 1/3rd that price for everything.

I agree. For $28K you might as well take a visit to Factor X and have a built motor with FX500 Turbo kit put in. I think the total bill will still be less than $28K Seriously though, used C30A NSX engines seem to be on the used market for about $5-$7K.
