Just curious if anyone has dropped a newer (mid 90s) Honda Civic engine in a 914?
I have a 96 1.6l engine, harness, fuel injection, all hardware and also have a turbo charger laying in the corner of the garage..... The combo should put down a very reliable 250 hp and just had the gears turning in my head about the thought of it. |

So I take it you would also need a starter that turns and engages the opposite way too?

So I take it you would also need a starter that turns and engages the opposite way too? Your flywheel will rotate in a different direction than intended, only by reversing the diff, your output will be the correct way. Since the flywheel will rotate in the direction the new engine does, you will also need to adapt that. The bseries has the startermotor on the same side as the 914, maybe KEP has a solution to mount it on the other side of the adapterplate. Give him a call, I visited him when I was in LA a while ago and discussed the way I wanted to have mine made, he is extremely helpful and can cnc just about anything He made my adapter for a V6 NSX engine to an inverted G50 for my mid engined Honda Integra (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1316520448.1.jpg) |
