Great article on a mid-engine VTEC Swap, but not in a 914!

Would need to be a K (or an F)...the B series turns the other direction (I built and raced a GSR/Type R before the Civic...)
K-series is a stout engine. Better torque too. We initially got 220 wheel from it just by opening the intake and exhaust and ECU tuning...everything else was stock. |

Yeah quite a few Honda engines before the K engines were like that, the B series, D series, H series and F series (except the S2000 F20C/F22C) engines are all counter-clockwise rotating. |

I just had a "duh" moment...couldn't you just use a 911 transaxle and spin it around 180 degrees...? A B18C1 or C5 at 8,500 RPM would sound nice... |

But you could just as easily run a honda trans and save weight/space and put the radiator in front of the motor.. |

The part I don't like about the transverse idea is that it's going to place a lot of the weight behind the rear axles. Both the K and the B race cars I had placed the vast majority of the drivetrain behind the axle centerline...which on a 914 would be behind the rear axle (take a peek inside a Civic or Integra hood). I'd rather see the engine mounted longitudinally in front of the rear axle. The torque on my current K20Z3 is much nicer than the horsepower of the Integra Type R I raced. And it turns the "right" direction...225 wheel ponies and very-usable torque with stock long block and outside bolt-ons.  |
