would it be possible to transvers the s2000 motor and still have front wheel drive in the prelude?

 

That is my intension. I like the Prelude front wheel drive, hard top and trunk space. I also like the adrealine shakes I get after driving the S2000. I don't care for the rag top and no cargo space of the S2000.

 

If I'm not mistaken, the Prelude engine and the S2K engine rotate opposite from each other. That would make things very difficult to say the least (unless you like driving backwards at 70 mph)

 

This is the truth. Also for the money it would take for a RWD 6 speed conversion I'd put a damn chevy smallblock in. I'm with the monkey on this one.

 

hmm, it's my understanding that the reason why the S2000 is an exciting car to drive is because it's RWD...

"Liking FWD" makes sense if you live in alaska, otherwise, i can't really see anyone really LIKING FWD...bearing it, living with it, or trying to forget about it, maybe, but torque steer, understeer, worsening traction under full accel...

anyway, yeah you'd need to figure out how to make the engine, tranny, and driveshaft mate. that's not an easy task.

 

personally, i wouldnt waste my money on the f20c, id get the h22 rwd, with a 6 speed tranny. now that would be prime. i am really thinking of doing this on my civic. sure it would cost a few thousand, not including getting the tranny, and diff. and the correct legnth driveshaft. and not to mention changing the rear suspension in the rear, and the front. but it would be well worth it to have a RWD h22a Civic. but this isnt for later.
if anyone has any info on trannys let me know. cause im confident the s2000 tranny wont fit cause the motor spins the oposite way.
lol, let me know

 

Few thousand my ass you're gonna have to get a cusom built tranny I think you're underestimating the cost of this feat.

 

no one read my post about the rsx tranny bolting up to the f20c to make it fwd??? lol

 

ive been thinkin bout makin a RWD 4g lude.

the f20c would be a worse alternative, because it has NO TORQUE.
at least keep the h22a and build on it for more TQ.
there are several oddball honda gearboxes that i am researching right now for a possible RWD swap into my lude. i think the engine mounting would probably be the hardest, since its currently transverse.

well also the rear suspension would be tough, unless you are swapping complete, because it is really crammed on the ludes....
