Normal b-series have the exhaust manifold on the front of the motor and the intake manif. on the back. This makes the exhaust pass under the motor and the intake parts. Seems to me that setup causes a lot of unnecessary heat-soak. It would be better to mount it like this:

 

wow that looks weird...compared to our cars, what car is that anyway?

 

looks like an RSX to me.

 

It's a dc2 teg with rsx headlights/front end. Don't know what motor that is.

 

i don't necessarily think it would make a significant difference.

No, thats the king motorsports RSX built for World Challenge.

Not a dc2.

Anyways..... this kind of setup would not be possible using a b-series engine as they spin counterclockwise so turning the engine backwards (which you'd have to re-drill the frame and make custom motor mounts and re-wire half the engine bay) wouldnt work very well.

As long as your exhaust header is properly made (mandrel bends, correct primary size/length, etc) you're not going to see any significant drawbacks from this design.

 

Oh yea...i even put an intake in my friends rsx lol, didnt regonize it w/o the manifold cover

 

i dont think it would make a difference

 

Spoon Sports makes a heat sheild tape that you put on your oil pan to reduce heatsoak. It goes between the header and oil pan. I wouldn't worry about it unless your running laps on a track.

Kinda looks like an s2k motor. Good idea though, and thats a nice lookin RSX too.

not like the one sitting in our garage.....that doesnt resemble the f20c at all....

 

they had 2 others where that came from in the trailer..

i was talkin to the driver about the rsx, guess they got ride of the i-vtec along with all the mugen goodies..

he estimated it has about 250whp i believe.
