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... |

A 4AGE already spins the right way- with it's stock ITB's fitted with some velocity stacks at 8300 RPM would sound real REAL nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
