Does anybody know if a s2000 engine would fit in a 97 honda special edition? if not anybody know what would be a good engine to put in one? thanks

 

ummmm since your probably new i'll be nice. you cant swap a S2000 engine into your accord. the S2000 engine is unique. it is the only rear-drive car honda makes besides the NSX and that is a mid-engine car. dont get me wrong if you have tons of money to spend and find a very good mechanic then anything is possible but realistically you cant do it.

 

The S2000 is a FR layout. The engine is not in the middle.

The Accord is a FF car. Front engine/front wheel drive. It will fit, but you would buy a S2000 for the cost.

 

well


no one mentioned the fact that the f20c also rotates in the opposite direction as almost every other honda engine (cept for K series).

 

hey guys thanks for your input. i wasn't sure if it was possible to put that engine in i just mentioned it and some guy said it was possible. by the way do any of you go to summit point raceway? if u guys are in the maryland area.

 

So then would it be possible to mate the F20C with the F22b1 tranny?? I know the tranny would have to be rebuilt.

 

not likely sonce as far as i know the engine rotates the wrong way so you would have 5 speeds in reverse and one in forward....least that is way i think it would work.

 

So then what if you rotate the starter so it spins the otherway.

 

i somehow suspect that you will be in the middle of an engineering nightmare....think about everything that counts on teh engine rotating one way...such as the ecu, sensors in teh distributor and block and so on.
with an f20c, K or J series you eitehr go rear wheel drive or have the tranny on the driver side.

 

so then jdm transmisson.
