info on type r engine in nova

[Stoo]

AFPMSL

thats my saying

caramel powerslides FTW

Yup well, i suppose it depends where the engines from wether its stolen or not

I dont know that much about Honda's, my ?800 was a very underpirced guesstimate for say a 52 plate Civic Type R engine, box, loom, shafts etc etc!

Id have snapped that right up

engine alone is worth ?2k minimum!!

what are the VBOA going to think if they have a nosey round our forum before they let us join

someone was going to try it, but...

Bit of a development on the engine front... What has 1.8 litres, 169bhp and a LSD as standard?

Why, a Honda B18C4 of course:



There was much excitement at the prospect of what is basically the old Integra Type R lump, save a pair of cams and inlet manifold. Dubbed 'Nov-R', could the saloon be equally at home at PVS and Japfest?



Toight fit with the standard inlet manifold which would have been changed to a Spoon knock off to save space. Rear gearbox mount also tricky as the steering rack was in the way.

It was all looking good until we realised we wouldn't be able to turn left due to the wide gearbox having about an inch clearance on the 145 tyre currenty fitted



There maybe potential with major butchering of the chassis legs and inner wings, and a wide track conversion, but we're getting away from the Project's purpose and budget.

It's all off! Back to the drawing board... Amy Winehouse summed it up:

"They tried to make me fit a VTEC, but it won't go, go, go."

Perfect for Oval racing then

[Stoo]

Point proven i think!

[Ste L]

[Philsutton]

y not try something different,my teacher when i used to go to college had a couple of moriss minors and he had a type r enigine one and a 2.0 litre pinto engine in the other ,.......

Madness! I was speaking to our postman a while back as he knows I like my novas and he mentioned a mate of his fitting a 200sx into a ford anglia!

Apparently it was pretty simple, the wiring was about as difficult as putting an XE into a nova

I don't know why theres so much attitude on this site, the chap was only asking whether it would be possible, people on here seriously need to chillout! And the funny thing is if the engines were cheaper and easier to fit everyone would be doing it instead of fitting XEs or LETs all the time.
