F20C from Honda S2000 into Type 1 MR2?

[origtype1]

Any idea how feasable it is to put a F20C from a Honda S2000 into a 1986 Type 1 MR2?

[projectsilvia97]

are you kidding me, that's so stupid. toyota stays with toyota, honda stays with honda. it's that simple

[racerh03]

Stupid Ass

[MR2Driver]

Easy with all the hostilities, this isnt Honda-Tech, we dont treat people like that over here...

Either way, what i believe they meant to say was.... Keep the crossbreeding to a minimum, engines belong with their own kind... unless you are Bill Strong...

[racerh03]

sry guys just got carryed away with that one.

hehe, unless your Bill Strong, I like that

Ne way, I've entertained the idea of a B20 or H22 into an MK1. That would be pretty enteresting if you ask me. Not that I'd rush out and do it, but if I had an extra grand... Or 10 Grand

[koh]

sounds like a fun idea (revvy motor with lightweight mr-config car). wiring would be hard and you'll have to modify the bellhousing on some tranny (forgot which) but somebody has done a f20 into a civic

why not drop a 3sgte in there?

The F20c from the S2000 would be more trouble than its worth, finding a gear box that would allow you to mount it transversly would be almost impossible.
However the F20c from the Integra/RSX/Accord Euro would go in with the right work.
3sgte would require more work than the F20c, sounds silly I know, but the turbo on the 3sgte simple means more work making it fit and run.

However both would require some major surgery, custom drive shafts and mounts to start with.
Then more than a little bit of rewiring to get the ECU hooked up would be needed.

Its the sort of thing you could do if you owned a shop, and had extensive knowledge of both Honda and Toyotas, its not the sort of thing you want to pay someone else do to though, if your that keen for more hp, then the existing engine is very strong, and there are plenty of other options.

If you want a V6, try to find a mechanic who will install the Pontiac Fiero Formula 1 V6 engine. My old mechanic only used to work on the Fiero and said it was very possible.

[MR2-AW11]

Lol a fiero engine that's useless hah heavy pos.

S2000 will require tons of custom work because it's rwd... if it was going in a rwd car then it'd be a dif story however.. what you need as a base is a fwd car.. luckily all other good honda engines could be transplanted with a custom install into the mr2 mk1 or mk2. Don't get me wrong, F20C is a beatiful engine!!! Unfortunately it's rwd and in a mid-ship design it's unfortunate hehe..

Only custom honda engine swap I know of is a H22A.. which would be cool. Tons of torque and horsies and potential for tuning.. and yet more or less same space.

For a mk1... imagine a b18c5 engine.. that would own..

I am disapointed with the first few ignorant and flameboy comments from the start.. so what...? It's the beauty of diy and custom work!

Honda, toyota, or whatever.. blah

The 4AGE is a magnificient engine of fine design and revolutionary technology for its 21 year old age.. its amazing..

But you must admit that vtec is quite something.. VVTi is not to compare.

Problem is.. honda makes all their stinkin cars fwd....... so go bye bye to all that wonderful power.. and yes yes there's wonderful 10sec hondas but who cares.. and yes there's wonderful handling hondas too but WHO CARES

On the other hand, a honda engine in a mid-ship rwd setup would own Put the honda prowess family engines to its magnificient best in a performanceu setup hehehe

Vtec isnt quite anything special anymore, every company has its variable valve timing with electronic lift control these days, some more powerful than VTEC or I-VTEC...

name one...

not flaming...jus wanna hear which company has come out w/ something stronger than it, cuz it'd be news to me.

pst...guys...VTEC isn't that great (sorta know from exp.) but it's the best out there for small n/a motors.

[ac427cpe]

what about toyota's t-vis or vvti (don't remember the abbreviation! lol) how would you rank that against VTEC?

why not drop a 3sgte in there?

cause it takes a TON of work... though it is possible, it's what i did.

the biggest problem with any engine swap is that it 'isn't' supposed to be in there. it's harder to "crossbreed" them (as Lachean said) because this requires total customization. even with engines from the same company you will have a ton of custom work to do. if you want to do a "simple" swap, toyota makes a turbo 20v 4AG engine... then u should just have to figure out the wiring.

[ghetto7o2azn]

how is vtech so superior to cars with vvt-i? i thought it was almost the same thing... the altezza gets 210hp out of a 2.2L engine which seems pretty good to me...
