May 27, 200917 yr comment_347877 what about a 1MZ V6 from a camry, use the box and get you shafts modified just need to arange the mounthing in the bay Just a touch harder then that... From memory 2.6 non-turbo litres is the biggest you can go in the '82 2mz-fe or the 1vz-fe, 2vz-fe or 4vz-fe from the engineering/mod plate point of view would be a better idea. 3vz-fe is just too big in more ways then one - power bulge on the bonnet and the firewall would have to moved further back Doing a B18 would be infinitely harder due to the engine spinning the wrong way..... Not really cause the Honda gearbox will be sitting at the correct end of the motor. Which leads into the next thing of that i reckon Honda got it right with the motor spinning backwards. A clockwise running motor when revved will want to tilt to the back of the car An anti-clockwise running motor when revved will want to tilt to the front of the car. Either a b16a, b17a, b18a or the vtec's d16a, d17a would be a lot easier to pull off from an engineering/mod plate point of view. Report

May 28, 200917 yr Author comment_348095 Another suggestion could be one of the motors out of the civic or intergra allready being FWD and all? B18C Spec R out of a 1997-2001 Integra Type R (JDM).... i suppose your rite.... and for all the money i save from not goin f20c... i ca spend on makin this thing handle like its on rails and it will still poon... and another thing.... some of you doubt this goin ahead,sayin that if i was going to actually do this i wouldn't have posted this thread... well fine... I'm now changing my mind from f20c to c32b ! take that :P Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_348098 who cares dude just pick something different and do a real good tech write up. i'm sure everyone here will appreciate seeing something different. the honda engine (f20c) is good but heavy. but i would still love to see it happen Report

May 28, 200917 yr comment_348201 this motor in a civic would be way cooler than in an ae82 liftback, and have a lot more resale value. Report
