this possible? a local shop has the engine from a 02 S2000 for sale... just wondering if the swap is possible...

 

heeeeee

 

possible yes if your using the S2000 transmision. you will have to convert your car to rear wheel drive.

if at all possible, (which i dont think it is) bolt the F20 up to your stock transmission, you will have to put your car in reverse to go forward.

you see the S2000 motor is hondas 1st clockwise spinning engine.

another variant i was thinking of my self, is using the new K20A motors transmission(if it will bolt up). you see the k series engine too spins clock wise, and the trasmissions from the RSX or new civic Si are FWD transmission. thus using these trannies wont require you to convert to RWD

so there i hope i shead some light on your question

 

do you consider a tube frame to be a car?

several limiting factors:

mounting the motor.
mounting the transmission.
mounting the rear end.
figuring out how the hell to wire the motor in. (standalone?)
custom driveshaft.
driveshaft mounting.
blah blah blah.
buy a B16 swap and learn as you go.

 

Well, I guess it's possible, but IMO it's def. not worth the trouble/effort to do. It would be cool to see an S2000 powered, RWD Ef around though...

 

Well the car does not have to be RWD. There is a company, I forgot the name, that fabricates a tranny bell housing to make it a FWD car. Just take the components from the inside of the original S2000 tranny and shove them in there, and voila!!!!! Dont know what type of axles and other ish you need to get. Hopefully, someone remembers the thread where they had pics of this bell housing.

 

not posible for under 10,000 dollars...
the car designit snot going to hold , the cutting,.welding and building its very high.. u would basically have to build a tubular chassis. find a way to fit the engine and transplant the EF body to that.. thats basically the only way... other than that its going to be a veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy big work....
u would have to modify suspension, weight distribuition, rear diff, etc etc... very big list.... unless u got a 1 million dollar lotery ticket i say its imposible.,..

 

i would like to see it done though... i would be very envious(sp?)

 

anything is possible if you got the $$, let us know what happens
