There is a kit car The Attack that uses a Honda Accord for a donor car. This allows you to use a H22A also. Am I correct in my thinking that a F20C will not work due to the fact that it rotates opposite of all other Honda Engines? Would a K20C work or not work for the same reason?

Thanks...

Thinking of getting one?

All H and B series motors spin "backwards" (CCW). The new F20C and K blocks spin forwards, or CW. The rotation probably wouldn't be as much of a problem (just mount it the other way) as much as the mounting would be. The F20C and K blocks share nothing with the older F and H blocks that the Accord uses that I'm aware of.

Actually I am lining up my next summer project I am debating on whether to get addicted to AutoX'ing or build a car and then get addicted to AutoX'ing

Thanks for confirming what I thought... second opinions are awesome.

Your tranny/driveline will tell you which way to turn the motor.

All i-VTEC engines rotate clockwise like our F20C. The older fwd engines rotate counter-clockwise.

Thanks guys! I do want to go forward It looks like a built H22A will prob be the best bet. It will be this time next year before I make the decision. I was going to go with a kit Cobra replica, but I like this idea a little better.
