eb engine bay dimensions

[Colza]

The 1st gens with longer engine bays are CVCC's and we didnt get them in NZ so probably not the UK either? Im not sure but i think they are American model only.

That blue thing is not a Honda.

that the first car i nearly hit when i was changin a tape once back in ohh.. 92... it was red tho... lol.. it drove up the kurb to get away from me... renault fuego i believe

[Kam]

Oops  ::) thought you wanted to see the Renault.  Don't have a picture of the civic as I said I seen it at the wreckers about 2years ago (wacol self serve wreckers Brisbane).  There not there any more.  there is another wreckers in Zilmere (probably the biggest in Brisbane) don't remember the name. that also had a large number of old civics.  they might still have some but its an hour drive for me so no can do.  

[doggystyle]

worries bro.. i think i can remember them anyhoo..... so does anybody know or can anybody do some measuring for me?....  go on... you know you wantoo ;D

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

had a massive post ready to tell you exactly what you should do with your civic and then i pressed reset, i might try again tonight, stay tuned

[doggystyle]

DOH! i hate that... i was thinkin maybe even rear drive rear mount.. or rear drive front with either a supra 6 speed or stay with honda and go s2000 box.... have to find a nice small live rear end tho... maybe starlet... mmmm the posibilitys

[Colza]

If your going to fork out for an S2000 box why not just put a whole S2000 motor in? That would be MAD ;D

[doggystyle]

it probably wont fit length way cos it has an extra cylinder... thas why i was thinkin v6.... i think the six is only about 500-600 length ways... not sure tho.. other wise i could go for a 2jz ;D

There is a dude in Brisbane who made a mid mounted city (motor in the back east/west) with a camira motor (don't ask)  I think he said he welded in a city engine bay in the back.  think of the posabilities.  The car was actually for sale in 'just cars' not long ago for about $5k.

[doggystyle]

hey you could actually do a mid mount honda six with a porche transaxle... since honda spins backwards.... either that or just transplant an nsx motor and trans

[James]

WTF doggy thats what was in my big post!!

I have been thinking about a north-south mid engine swap using a twin turbo legend v6 with a porsche transaxle all hanging off a half cage...

Put some double wishbone susp in the back when your at it, then get some 0 offset wheels and run 255 rear rubber or more, you then have a wheel standing mofo of a civic....

Of course there is the more tame version(read actually affordable), with a stock turbo legend motor and transaxle using civic front suspension adapted to fit the rear, radiator in the front, fuel tank in the boot, half cage with a harness. Build an aluminum insulated box around the engine. You pretty much have a "Renault Turbo 2" then they had a 1300 turbo north south mounted in the back with a 5spd transaxle, and with the massive wheel arches that the honda city turb inherited. Except you have a mofo v6 in your civic, bags not getting a certifier to pass it tho.

this car is my idol, apart from the shitty build quality

[doggystyle]

if it stops without getting any brake fade, is reliable and has all the nececary paperwork to go with it it should pass easy...
