I just wanted to see who is interested in a adapter plate for the k series or f20 to the 4t65e 3 speed trans. I talked to a couple people that are interested in this and I'm pretty sure if there were 10-15 people that wanted this in a civic then maybe it can be done like the h2b kits.

 

wait... are you saying mount a k series and f20 to a 3speed transmission?

if thats right that doesnt really sound like a good idea.... those are high reving engines.. they need MORE gears that are small.. because of their lack of torque..

Torque monster V8 engines are what u want on a 3gear transmission...

Am i missing something? im not really familliar with that transmission but just hearing it only has 3 gears tells me that they are probably big gears..

 

tell that to the hotrod gm cars then. cause they all use the 4t65e, or hydra-matic as people call it. there is a guy on here his name is covanant, he has already had an adapter plate made for the K to 4t65e. You could pm him if you're interested, and he might be able to help. when I was going to build my car into a hotrod/bracket car, I was looking into doing it.

 

I think Marco from Magnus motorsports has them.

did you just compare V8's to an F20C?

No he compared Ecotec (4 cylinder) to a K/F. Cant wait to see someone put together a honda hotrod with an auto!

 

but what is the benefit of this?


and how does putting an oversized transmission on a small high reving engine make it a hotrod?

im not trying ot be a jerk these are real questions

 

Hot-Rod is/was an nhra sport compact/nopi class for 1200+hp 4 cylinder cars where you are permitted to run an aftermarket trans. An automatic transmission can be a huge advantage in drag racing and GM makes a good auto while honda does not. Benefits to a hydramatic over a 5 speed honda trans= reliability, consistancy, hold power between shifts without shocking drivetrain.

 

i agree with you Ben. I've talked to a couple of people that are interested in this and I was thinking if enough people wanted then maybe they could come out with a kit like the h2b one. Plus think about if they let this in sfwd if there is somewhere to race.

 

the 4t65e is a 4-speed, and it's not going to hold all that much power unless it's built

 

yeah you can get the trans from gm from what i've been told

The built version from GM Racing is a 3 speed.

thanks man, also the k series motor would end up tilted forward not sure about the f series.

That is true.. You will also have to re think the oil system and pan.

 

that suck's that you can't get them to sit up right. I wonder if the F series is the same

 

the K and the F would both sit similair in the chassis. I can tell you that your not going to get a 4t65e to sit in any stock engine back correctly. honda's were not designed with this tranny in mind. you can do it, but I wouldn't think about trying to build a street car with this tranny.

Did not know that. I figured it would be a "3t65e," if that was the case, going by current. GM transmission nomenclature.

 

i have a friend who is need of a auto in his civic.. i know he wud be willing to go in with someone to try to get this going.. even the ep3 tranny that he has just sux to do when you have that much power..

PM user Covenant, like G2K said. He has the trans mounted up to a K-series for a Hot Rod class car he is building. Here's a link to the thread he made.

Laskey racing also has a setup like this.. F20 with auto ..

 

what about using the neon tranny A670 with a adapter plate?

 

I think Earl or one of his clients was working on a fwd F20c setup that used a gm transmission a while back.

He even posted a photo and said that they were expecting four digit hp numbers.

I searched for the post but could not find it.
