i just got a few ideas from watching the fast and the furious.
1st: is it possible to do sumthing like a "strawberry front"on a civic, like wat they do with the 180sx (180 w/ s15 front end) ??? possibly put an EG civic front on the civic coupe?
2nd: would an sr20 fit into my coupe? and if its worth the money spent.
i know they may sound a bit weird, but i'm looking at different avenues to go down.
any help would be appreciated.
cheers guys.
SR20? Why the **** would you?
Might as well put a K into it
i think its possible to put the eg front on a ek or ej. i think there was sumone on here attempting to do that.
here's an idea buy a nissan with an SR20 in it? Simple and will be like 100x cheaper than transplanting one into a FWD civic. And don't say I like the shape of the civic.
I would rather a turbo B18c than a SR20DET
ftw...Quote:

didnt johnny tran in fast and furious have a few sr20 civics. man when the SWAT raided his house he got owned bad. brought shame and dishonour to his family lol. and his dad bitch slapped him. he was that ANGRYYYYY.
i guess you could put GTi-R SR20DET's that are longitudinal
there is a s14 series2 front conversion for EK available
don't do it though you'll look like a ricer. :P
but really up to u. just that most people will laugh at you. if that still doesn't faze u then do it if u want.
any thing possible if you have the money :) ..
ricer !! FTW laaah
llllllllooooollllllllll
There is a gold ek hatch for sale on one of the sites (carpoint/sales/guide, don't remember which one). It's gold, turbo b16, widebody, s15 front and merc taillights, but i still wouldn't pay $44k for it :p
It did the whole Autosalon circuit in NZ and someone is bringing it over and hoping to sell it, good luck to them
lol $44k to sell a turbo'd b16 with bodywork, good luck to them as well!
Money can make any talk work... With money, you can even put a lambo front end and an AMG "werks" engine if you like... :)
At the end of the day, it's your happiness :D
Do it Do it!
hahaha
yehh. goes alot better than the SR20's even tho they are both longitudinal motors... saves you from having to do a turbo setup. mightaswell get a SR20DET from the GTiRQuote:

good luck engineering it:thumbdwn:
why bother? It costs like 10-12k to throw in a k series into a civic imagine how much it would cost to throw in an SR20 motor.
Remember folks...
There's no such thing as a stupid question
Only stupid people
It wouldnt be that hard if the engine and box fit between the chassi rails. A few custom mounts and drive shafts. im with every one else---WHY??
You could retrofit an EG fron onto a newer body i suppose, but i don't see the point!!
As for the SR20, a saying i once heard quickly springs to mind;
"Don't be wrong just to be different"
Honestly, there's a reasont that the most commonly explored avenues are just that, most common...
That is that they work, why would you even try and fit an SR20, when a turbo B16/B18/K20 (the list goes on) will cost you far less, be easier to do, give you far less headaches and perform better anyway.
Plus just remember that the more you mod on a car, the more of a headache it becomes.
I mean imagine trying to buy a clutch for an SR20 converted civic, do you buy a silvia clutch, civic clutch... what??
You would just put a pulsar sr20det and gearbox. your clutch would be a pulsar clutch ;)Quote:

Pulsars and civics are completely different cars!!
Plus correct me if i'm wrong but i do not know of any front wheel drive nissan with an SR20DET in it!
There are all wheel drive turbos, and there are front wheel drives with a straight SR20's (n/a) in them, but we are talking about amalgamating parts from three different cars by then.
SSS pulsar block and driveline + GTiR pulsar top end and turbo + civic.
OK smartie you will find out that the engine sits 180" around in the nissanQuote:

The easiest way would be to use an SR20DET from an AWD bluebird, use a sss N14/primera gearbox, some custom drive shafts and 180" the engine. Iv done this before (without the 180") with a fwd sr20DET. A mate also put one in a camira.
so what happen when honda mix with nissan?
honssan? wahahahahha !!!

I still think it would be far more of a headache than it's worth.
I agree on that lol. :)Quote:

why would you want to buy such a monstrosity
SR20 engine is a good engine & can be purchased for much less than a K series engine. The only thing your gonna have problems with with mounts and wiring the dash to work, then getting registered
I've seen s2000 engine in an AE86, Skyline GTIR engine in a Supra so these hybrid are doable, but they had specific reasons and it was not $$$.
i doubt it... you could just use an N14 or N15 pulsar enigine.. theyre SR20's and theyre front wheen drive.Quote:

you could prob pick up an N14 front cut for like $1000 - then pay some one to fit it and there you go....
i dont think it would cost too much but they only have 105Kwm mind you - theyre pretty torquey for a little engine!!!
ohh, and silvia SR20's have north south mounting points whee as the pulsar mounting points are east west - i beleive civics are east west like all other FWD.

My lawnmower has a better engine note than an SR20, unfortunately not as much power... Hmm......
Is it a honda lawnmower?
that maybe there reason it sound better
I know of at least one legend model which is fwd and has a longitudinal v6 :pQuote:
