ok, so i dont have many posts or threads started but so far im making a name on here for myself becuz im almost done with my prized build `~ my 96 ek 4 door with CRV drivetrain and b20vtec swap. RT-4WD.

but now , i have for fun, a 89? ef hatchy.

i got it for a deal a month or two ago and havnt touched it, its got a 1.5 mpfi in it now, swapped, the previous owner had removed the TB fuel injection for this. (never swapped the harness etc ) acctualy tried making his own, didnt work out lol.

but so in my eyes this is a great opportunity to born another unique semi-race car.

MY PLANS FOR THE CAR AND ITS INTENDED USE I GUESS DEPEND ON WHICH CHASSIS SETUP AND ENGINE PLACEMENT OR VICEAVERSA.

i wanna start with a good platform from the getgo ok- HONDA CIVIC . ok good start


MY QUESTIONS ARE AND MY IDEAS ARE--------

-FRONT ENGINE SINGLE CAM TURBO'D WITH WAGOVAN RT-4WD DRIVETRAIN

-FRONT ENGINE DOHC N/A OR BOOSTED WITH CRV RT-4WD DRIVETRAIN

-FRONT ENGINE DOHC K SERIES OR J SERIES RT-4WD OR SH-AWD

-MID/REAR ENGINE REAR B SWAP OVER REAR WHEELS

-MID/REAR ENGINE REAR J OR K SWAP OVER REAR WHEELS

-OR LAST BUT GREATEST
-S2K DRIVETRAIN TRADIONAL RWD OR
-B/K/J MOTOR FITTED TO RWD TRANSMISSION (IF NEEDED EITHER REVERSE ROTATION TRANS AND REAR OR* BUILD ENGINE TO ROTATE CLOCKWISE)


SO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK, BECAUSE THIS IS ALL UP IN THE AIR. IM FEELING GUTSY AND CREATIVE AND AMBITIOUS SO WITH MY 1ST RT-4WD SWAP ALMOST WRAPPED UP AND DIALED IN I WANNA START MY SECOND, BIGGER PROJECT WITH MORE FABRICATION.

ALL OPPINIONS WELCOMES GOOD OR BAD. THANKS HONDA-TECH

 

I would like to see how you would do this...

 

Being that literally all of those swaps have been done except maybe the reverse reverse-rotation engine idea and mid J/K swap. Although the only work around I can think of without getting too into it is the oil pump on the reverse rotation. Reverse the connecting rods and it should be a done deal internally. Nothing of your propositions are that extraordinary. Sure, ask me why I don't do some then? It's pointless. I can take a stock vehicle do some upgrades and have something that performs the same as something that has tons of time and money poured into it. Don't let me stop you though - these types of projects are fun.

Also, this type of post border lines the rules of this Forum - take a look...

PS - On a side note - I haven't heard of you before. I know there are plenty of these conversions already done; get on the YouTube and watch some home movies. Also, better punctuation and grammar helps making yourself seem more respectful and may help draw the more "intelligent" crowd in. Unless you are happy with the "oMfg D00d haZ vTaK" crowd then carry on.

 

''These types of projects are fun'' - out of all of the things you said that I agreed with, this- I can relate.


Attached- I must say, you do seem to know your stuff. Im sure you didn't hear of me up until now, but Im sure you will hear or see some good things from me on here.

 

My vote goes to boosted B swap over rear.

Rwd k power

 

rwd J series! why is this not a poll?

 

this should be a poll, especially since today i got some idea on prices for nose cuts from honda accord 3.0/acura tl 3.2/crv k24/and crv b20 from savage yards.
i bet everyone wants to see a traditional RWD k series or J series, but theres nothing wrong with a boosted B over the rear wheels.
money for me is OK right now i guess. so il push it towards making chassis setup break throughs for all honda builders.

 

i vote for building the SH AWD J ....but that's only because i haven't seen one yet in an ef

 

My suggestion is Dohc ZC using the wagon rt4wd setup. Seems simple and cost effective compared to most of the other ideas.

My .02 cents
