First off ill start with im not sure were to post this (so if mods need to move it feel free)
its giong to be a drag car/play toy

i know back in the day, some racers convertered engine to run opposite direction (i only think i remember h series pro racers way back when)

does anyone have any information on this, or know anyone who has done it

this is just a thought of something i might try for experiment in a rwd chassis i want to build

things i know u would need to do, get custom cam grind to support the change in rotation, and put tension on belt from other side, (only 2 things i can think of at this second)

Any info would be great, please try not to bash, just in the THOUGHT PROCESS faze

My biggest problem is, i want to run a b series in the vehicle, and run an auto trans (g force makes a manual reverse rotation, not sure of any others)

so 2 processes is either change rotation of motor or find a reverse rotation auto trans
Im up to both ideas ANY IDEAS WELCOME

s2000 engine would be a much better decision in my opinion, they can handle a good amount of power in stock form.

 

i agree with ya dave
but that does nt help my question

that is my 2 options at this second, b series engine reversal or reverse rotation transmission

 

the time belt does not like to go the other way, so there might be a slight issue with that.

 

you would have to look at things like water pump and oil pump. But i would think that they would both be externaly run systems in a project like this.

The head is going to be your biggest issue.

 

thougth bout that stuff too, external water pump, wonder if oil pump cares which was it spins??

in my thoughts as well, again thinking out loud, wondering if anyone new who did this way back when??

 

long time ago apex-i had a teg, with a h mounted the other way reverse rotation. ext oil and elec water pump should solve those issues. it was in turbo mag. and if i remember by looking it was twins:

we could always use it on normal rotation with a v drive and make a wheel stander

 

THANKS mikey
as always, u thinkin way ahead

we can brain storm more this weekend

A friend and I took a B18a and a d16a1 engine and turned the heads around. We figured it would be much better with carbs that the stacks face the front of the car, years before the K was introduced. But the "Ram Air" effect didnt really take effect until right around 100 mph. It was "Cool" but more work than it was worth.

 

anyone else
really want i would like to find is a reverse rotation auto trans, that will support over 600whp,

with that being said, so many things can change

open to all thoughts

 

I beleive the Cams will have to be a custom grind?

I know on V8 Boat motors alot of them spin backwards and the onlything different is the camshaft.

I'm sure Xtrac would make you up one of there F1 trannys for a fee.

Sorry I just don't understand why you want to do this.

 

pm me if u want to konw ill explain

i would agree xtrac prob will, i emailed liberty already

 

look for don f in the all motor fourms he has done it

There were a bunch of Accords converted like that for the British Touring Car series.

Built in England by MSD (Motorsport Developments), the factory Honda BTCC (British Touring Car) team.

Sold as a complete roller, minus drivetrain (engine, gearbox, axles, drivetrain support systems), shocks, and wiring harness. Car originally used a rotated mount head and sequential gearbox; sourcing those or fitting it with a newer Honda drivetrain are options, but both require serious Honda expertise. </TD></TR></TABLE>

 

Only other reason is RWD

 

cool idea, but i've never seen/heard of it before. GL on everything, but I'd probably just go F22/20.

 

thought about that already, its would change my costs around to much, and i already have all the b series stuff needed (thats why my first thought is with b series)

if not i ll have to change my complete thought process otherwise

 

GM hydamatic transmissions are reverse rotating. they are also known to handle some big hp numbers, and they're automatic.... just a thought....

i believe there is already someone coming out with that here on the west coast in a hot rod car from what i hear....

 

DAMN!! can't wait to see that.
