who cares about the fugly girl in the front those cars are sick!

 

that engine has gotta ruin the weight distribution that they ae86 is particaly known for.

 

wow looks sweet

 

Nice..... Pure JDM

 

Well the engine was pushed back towards the fire wall.
and the engine sits 1.5" lower than on the S2000.
The F20C (with trans) i belive is about 50~90 lbs heavier than the 4AG with trans.
So i dont think the weight or balance is an issue.
So 4AG with 90 HP to the wheels
or
F20C with (200?) hp to the wheels
I think it was worth the extra weight.

Seen that on one of the Hyper Rev magazine from JAPAN! It's amazing how they are capable of doing that kind of motor swap.

 

Bau the owner at Evolution Motorsports techniques in Sacramento NorCal is the one who did the swap.
From what i have been told it was fairly simple.
they are using an AEM unit to run the engine.
so you only need 3 or 4 wires to power up the engine to make it run.
How neat is that.
Some one had to weld and cut (until they got it right) the engine and trans mounts, i would guess that was the most difficult part.
Gabe the owner of the car had said something that they had to slice open the floor pan in the cockpit a little to widen the trans tunnel.
