Default Completely Pointless, or is it... K62-RiII Civic?

Ok this is a completely pointless post in the wrong forum blah blah blah. But I want to do this in a civic so there it is the right forum.

So here's the plan,

I'm gonna take 2 complete B16A heads, have a custom 8cyl block forged and a bunch of other custom **** like crank, rods etc. So I wanna drop this BB-series motor in my EG. Anyone got some ideas to go along with this. Just imagine popping the hood of a civic only to see two angled b16 heads. I think that **** will be crazy, I'll post a pic when I get it done. Stay tuned.. For like 10 ****** years. Hopefully this post wont bring me down from 100% that would suck. Sorry to waste anyones time, I just think crazy thoughts sometimes, and if I keep them in my head it would explode. Oh yeah I want it to bolt to an F-series 6spd trans as well. Anyone got an S2000 they wouldn't mind pulling the trans and giving me a tracing of the mounting points and shape?>

I just think it would ****** kick *** to tell someone all I got is a simple B series and pop the hood to reveal a cutom 8cyl in a civic. Now I know suspension would have to be greatly modified to handle the weight and RWD. But I can do it. Ever see a civic get the *** end loose? I haven't.

Another idea I have is take 2 NSX drivetrains and try to integrate both of them. One to power the fron wheel, the other to power the rear. The problem comes in when I need to figure out how to shift it... Any ideas here? C'mon guys, lets get the ****** creative juics flowin. I'm sick of helping people figure out what code their ECU is throwin. Lets use some brain power people...

Exactly how do you plan on R&D'ing this "custom" V8 of yours? How do you plan on paying for the custom crap you are going to need? I think you're imagination is writing checks that your pocket can't cash (unless you have some rich parents or were left a huge inheritance). Good luck I guess. I'll personally believe this "B8" when I see it.

**** once I build a name for myself in the auto industry I plan to contact Honda for 10-12 cylinder motors and I want to build cars by hand. Cars that will compete with those 1/4 million dollar plus cars. That's where I'm at. So when I get this BB8 working you want one?

Ummm, my vision has nothing to do with HT, don't get me wrong I love you guys... I also love the 4 banger power. They used to and still say "There is no replacement for displacement." Now there is another rule in the book, "There is no replacement for technology." I'm one to always want more. That is the only reason I want to build a HONDA v8. It would be the ****. It would be so nice to stomp the **** out of a blown Chevelle in a civic. It would be ****** insane to pop the hood and see 2 b-series valve cover pointing at you.

lol.

I don't want to bring you down, but if you custom engineer a block, there's no reason to put b heads on it. There's nothing wrong with a dream, but just refine it a little more before you come here with it Good luck!

</TD></TR></TABLE> Word on that ****. When the average American sits down to watch their favorite TV shows, goes to sleep, watches a movie. I'm reading to learn, programming, ****** with my car, drawing, writing and doing anything to expand my reaches. I thrive on learning and doing. Absolutely anything is attainable except the unbelievable. Someone had to believe they could burn liquid in an enclosed area to turn a pole that would turn wheels and move said person. Hence the internal combustion engine we are all here to discuss. BTW I like this discussion we have going on. I named the post perfectly. I knew I would get the people who where just begging to flame someone but also the inquisitive minds as well. Thanks guys... What else do we have on the docket?

i'm not trying to bring you down i just think there could be a more productive use of time. Nobody puts a v-8 into a civic because a worked b series will work just as good. It would be cool to look at but thats about it. A civic was never ment to be RWD so the chassis is gonna fight you the entire way through the build.

Nice dude, If i give you a dollar now will you let me drive it when you finish it? Call it an investment.

I once had dreams of putting a 350 and a 454 into a civic hatch one front and one back but i never got around to it.

Good luck!

hey also clear this stupid question up for me what does lmao stand for?

Spoken by a true 4 banger man. As everyone says no replacement for displacement.

And if you dont beleive me go ask my cousin who is dropping 450hp to the rear tires on a naturally aspirated mildly built camaro

You seriously would not want to drive that fucken beast like you stole it!?!? Just once!?!?

I am up for speed, hp/tq, engineering, just about anything to do with a cars engine or, anything that move fast on land, water.

Hondas aren't the fastest thing, but they are when you put your mind to it like this fella is
