anybody heard of a V-TEC conversion for the 914. KEP could probably come up with an adapter if he doesn't have one already. but, will a front drive motor work with a rear drive tranny? does the crankshaft spin in the same direction? anyone hear of any other front drive engine conversions? my 914 deserves more power than i can afford to get out of my type 4 motor. for the cost of nickies and upright cooling and head work, etc. i could have a turbo vtec setup.

QUOTE All this talk about power and handling with Hondas, lets just see for ourselves. I'll take this engine as a swap anyday. He can keep the brakes though. Not bad for a full street car. I see he suffers from the common problem of broken wheel bearings. Sure has good pull though. Even though he has aftermarket calipers he didn't bother to do anything about the little dinky rotors. Brakes are one thing the Germans now how to do right. I can't tell you how many times I wished I had the teener brakes on my civic. NEED MORE BRAKE. QUOTE I don't know what part of the world you live in but around here I don't know of a single 400 hp honda let alone 600 hp. I'll be happy to start another thread to show your ignorance. HP is never cheap. I don't care what you build. Isn't the 3SGTE the engine in the MR2. I hear it likes to pop head gaskets and connecting rods when you crank the boost up? QUOTE I used to own a Honda Prelude and it was a nice car but only after I bought my 944 turbo did I find out that the Honda was gutless. OK that is like comparing a Honda 100 mini bike to a Suzuki GSXR 1000. Apples to oranges. What year Prelude? Maybe 200hp pushing a 2800lb car. Yeah driving a tank will feel gutless. I can assure you My stock Civic Si with 105hp is just as much fun as a stock 2.0 914. They weigh about the same, performance is comparable, the civic may be a touch faster in a straight line, but it makes a great daily driver and I can haul some shit in it as well. If you want to see a civc out handle a 911 or 914 look at many of the Solo 2 classes. JP hit that one on the head. I agree on the Subby. Drop in for cheap. |
