Well My Father and I went to the Moroso (West Palm Beach Fla) Scca National and Spec miata Pro race today to say Hi to some old friends! While i was there i Noticed this GT3 Rear Wheel Drive Integra, The owner was super cool and did not mind me asking questions!

Its still a 1.8liter and it makes ~270whp! Its amazing!

This is my friend's Jerry Lustig's Toy who own's Denville Acura in New Jersey which I
bought 2 ITR from him. Its been a struggle from 94 to get this car competitive in GT3.
Anyway, its awesome machine and I used to hang with them at the Nationals in Northeast.

I've seen that car at the SCCA Runoffs at Mid Ohio at least the last two years. It's pretty trick! It seems to not be quite up to speed with the top GT3 cars in the country however.

It is running carbs.
I think that it was converted to standard rotation.
Built by DFE???

Would require custom cams and re-engineer your cam timing, ignition timing, etc.... Not likely although i do not know the details of the car in question.

Tons of companies can grind you some standard rotation cams for a B-series engine. Some even advertise them for sale(ie Cat cams). The ignition timing is easy since it is running an aftermarket icu. Any number of transmissions can be used with that engine since it now runs the same rotation that 95% of engines normally do. As far as the waterpump/oil pump and standard rotation, he may use an electric water pump and dry sump/external oil pump. I am not 100% sure about the standard rotation, but it is not impossible...
I do think that DFE built that engine. Don is on this board somewhere. Ask him.

I didnt think about the transmission availability with a clockwise-rotating motor... of course, i am sure this car was not cheap to build so then its not out of the question.

Jamie Houseman builds trannies for RWD Hondas. Usually don't do anything about engine rotation you just flip the rear axle upside down.
