I was told that some company makes a conversion for this.. To convert the B18
to rear drive spec.. Any body know who builds these transmissions? Or would the S2000 transmission hook up?

Just considering something that might be fun to try..

 

In what chassis? It bolts right into an Esprit

Lots of Fab, Lots of Time, Lots of $$$.

 

Eeeewwww an Esprit! You can get 400 reliable horsepower out of the stock motor..

That would be a waste of a good Honda engine LOL . No I'm thinking of selling my BDA and using the B18 in a Cortina or an Anglia.. I just love this motor, and it would be awsome to swap around in a light rwd chassis.. Like a bug eye Sprite even... of course it might fit in a mini in fwd guise as well..

I just don't want to play with mating the trans up myself if someone else has already done it.. The Alfa 5 speed in the Lotus was months to figure out, including the mounts etc...

 

Sun motorsports makes a Lotus Elise with a B18C5 in it and it is RWD but the car is midengined.

 

there was a thread about these awhile ago, a company makes RWD trannies for b-series motors. definately a lot of bank though

 

as far as i know...theres nothin i have seen to convert to RWD...remember..the b-series engines are retarded..they spin the opposite most engines. Would be nice to swap a b series in an ae86....way easier to get parts then a 4ag.

 

takumi owns jooo

 

Esprit or Elise...we are talkin Lotus's ri?
