Tried to add pics again, i'm a loser, I don't know any thing about computers. Just think 280hp out of a 3.5L bone stock honda vtec motor and get 30 mpg out of daily driving besides adding a turbo wich should put me at around 420ish hp. Not bad for a junkyard motor for $650.00, I got a good deal I know a gut who owns half of 35th ave. & broadway, guys in az know this area. I figure with adapt. radiator,motor,turbo and misc. parts i should be around $2500.00, not bad for a computer run 400hp motor. I will try this even. to get pics sent. russell
for those that are impatiant, here is what a Honda/Acura V6 looks like....now just use your imagination on what it'll look like installed in a 914 
nice motor, not as light as I thought it would be....

Will you need to run reverse cams to get the engine to spin the right way (like you have to for the honda 4 cyls?)

no, in fact the latest generation of 4 banger hondas spin the "correct" direction...
Crap brother, I can get one of these right now for like 100$ in town at a scrap yard. How about the adapter plate and such. gimme some info plz. I don't think its turbo thougth.
Hp hp, hphphp!

adapter plate and such. Kennedy (KEP) can adapt anything.
we're waiting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm also surprised the rotary is so heavy. A two-rotor weighs more than a Type IV...
75lbs to add a radiator and plumb it sounds excessive. An aluminum and plastic radiator weighs about 5lbs. 2 gallons of water is about 16lbs. I have a hard time believing the hoses are over 50lbs.

I thought only the S2000 engine spun correctly? but I trust what Mueller said...
