Try MK up near Rotherham.
One of their cars is Honda S2000 Turbo powered (used to be supercharged). My brother went out for a test drive with one of the guys and it scared him to death ! So much so he bought a kit ! |
http://locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/o...on trailer.JPGi have an mnr vortx with s2000 power. its at mnr at the moment, dta s60 is a better unit tham mbe. the only reason they like mbe is daytuner performance use them and do the mapping for mnr. i have used all the items you wanted as well as steering. if you want any info feel free to ask. mnr are far more capable cars than mk. but up to yopu what you go for.

Converting from Zetec power is a complete ball ache which is why im looking to start from scratch, the Zetec and F20 spin the other way so you will need to change the diff or you will have 6 reverse and 1 forward gear lol
It is possible but requires lots of work. who told you that? the K20 and the F20 spin clockwise, thats why you see many S2000 powered RWD classics. it's the B series engine that spins anticlockwise so you never see them unles the engine is modified to spin clockwise (which is possible with a cam timing change and dry sump oil system) |

What sort of costs are involved?
Assuming we have the car and an ECU capable of running the engine, how much are we looking at for engine, gearbox and the work necessary to convert (specifically a Zetec to F20C) and does anyone know how tall the installation ends up being? I suspect we'll only be running the Zetec in the Ginetta for a season before we feel the need for more POWAH! The F20C was one option. It is possible but requires lots of work. The F20C and the Zetec spin the same way. I suppose you'd wanna dry sump it as that'll give you more clearence. And no point you running the box. |
bozwell.do you know of any rwd boxes which would mate to the k20 ctr engine? possibly looking at a s/c k20 when i do my next kit. cheers
|
apparently there is a bellhousing available for the Ford type 9 gearbox to mate it to the F20c and have the engine sit upright (Yukspeed?). i dont know whether the bolt pattern is the same as the K20 but you could use any RWD gearbox you want with a CNC cut adaptor plate.
|
just wondered if there was an off the shelf box and bell housing to make k20 a rwd alternative? as i would imagine its cheaper than a s/c'd f20c?
