Stupid question, I know. Let's say for some reason you wanted to put a B series motor in a bay but rotated 180 degrees (like a K series). Could you reverse the plugs and run it clockwise?

What part of the motor is specific to a particular rotation (besides the vanes on the water pump, and the cams)?

 

try it and see.

 

Thanks, I'll get right on it.

 

what would the purpose of this be? if you had a point then it wouldn't be so wierd.

i would think so that there is less travel for the intake and exhaust. im not sure, maybe

 

you would need backwards profile crank and cams, some crazy shift linkage, _GAS^ )&%auodgj this makes my head hurt

 

LOL this made me laugh after today!!!

Just swap the plugs around, ya go for it, just swap the plugs, but not the wires or there location on the cap...LOL

 

new motor mounts, and in order to go forward, you would have to be in reverse, correct me if im wrong

that would be pretty cool though, to be able to go 100mph in reverse, just dont turn.

 

hey maybe in that case. you could move the steering wheel towards the back/tail section of the car, turn the seats around, and have a cheap way to have a rwd integra haha picture that

If you ran the motor the opposite rotation, you'd go forward, not backwards...

Let's say the purpose was to swap it into a different car (non honda / acura)


So the crank and cams determine rotation? I can see the cams, but how does the crank determine rotation?

I was referring to the plug wires.

does taht mean ur odometer goes backwards

but with the way the transmission turns in the B series motor, if you were to face it backwards I believe Lost and Found would be correct. However, if someone knows of a way to correct that then I guess it would be possible. Why not just get a K-series to alleviate that?

 

I used to run with a backwards B18c way back in 91'. We did it because Kriss Kross wore their clothes backwards, so we thought "hey! Why not put our motors backwards too?" And so we did.

"Because inside out, is wickity, wickity, wickity, wickity, wack!"

 

Another problem with spinning the motor wrong, timing belt. its designed to spin one way, spin it the other and youll likely loose tension on it.

 

i like taht avatar....what does it say??? always wanted to see if it goes beyond 100mph, im goin to do it one day

 

seems like more work then its worth unless youve got too much time on your hands to try it.
