Alright, so I'm here asking questions as to I don't have any straightforward answers to. Let's start here,
I have a
Body: Honda Civic EK HatchBack 1997
Engine: Imported D15B Vtec from a 1996 Del-sol, with YCP Vitara Pistons rings and rods everything.
Fab: Custom piping done already as I've boosted it at 10lbs, Short Piped.
Turbo: Its an Ebay turbo, EMUSA brand, 65mm Trim/T4.

Current Plan: I'm tired of a 350hp FWD. So now im wanting to work on her again but make her RWD. Thinking of relocating the engine to the back of the hatch, cut the under out to sit the engine down. Figured, and looked at the mounting locations and it wouldn't be All to different from the front. I can do minor fab work, but I've got a friend who does welding for a ship building company whos helped me with the majority of custom fab work so far. I can't find a proper thread showing me or giving insight to a RWD Hatchback. I'm curious if anyone knows how much fab work will need to be done, if there's another forum somewhere else someone may have found some insight. Any info spared, is greatly appreciated guyd. Thanks in advance.

i dont think you read what he posted.... he is talking about a mid engine conversion.

 

that's a google search away as well.

 

It's been done a few times.

Some people take front clips and graft them into the rear of the car to make it easier to mount the engine. Others have done tube chassis conversions.

It is a lot of work to be unique, but rub enough money on anything and it'll turn out how you want.
