Hello, I just acccidently aquired a 2001 Honda Stream, it requires a Clutch and some brake work to go through an Mot. I really can't be bothered to patch it up and sell it. So I have a 2.0 155bhp Honda engine. And transaxle. I immediatly thought 1988-1992 Civic conversion. Or even a 1993-1998 Civic. But then I thought well what else? I have an R reg starlet but I don't think the honda motor will fit. I am looking for something that will be: light, very light. Have an acceptable wheelbase no chinquichentps. Swallow the K20 with minimal chassis work. Any one had experience with shoving K20s into stuff? Ultimately I want this project to be chaeap, like just welding wire and time cheap as I am supposed to be moving house and not spending on cars.  |

They fit in a Mini... A mate of mine had one a few years back, it was fun to say the least.
What cars do you like would be the starting point for me, no point people suggesting a load of cars if you don't like them.

Was thinking a rover 214 maybe, honda Civic saloon shape.
Can you convert a K20 to RWD? Cos I love little old Rwd datsuns. I would happily spend some dosh on putting it in a 120Y or simmilar.

I immediatly thought 1988-1992 Civic conversion. Or even a 1993-1998 Civic. My thoughts would be to keep it in the family and go for either an EF (which are growing on me big time) or an EG. The EG seems to becoming cooler the more often I look at it. I remember buying my first EG covic and saving like mad for an EK. Now I wonder what was wrong with me. I did eventually put a H22A2 out of an imported prelude in my EK. Was plenty of fun. What makes this engine different to the type R K20 out of the EP3? |

Main differences are cams, exhaust manifold, intake system and ecu.

Can't you leave it where it is and do the above to make a super sleeper? Or transplant it into a jazz with the same alterations as mentioned above.
I've always thought this was pretty cool.

Lotus Elise springs to mind.
Could be nice in an older Accord, I recon.

 This is giving me the horn ATM.  HaHa, perhaps no on the elise front, I can't imagine it would fit too well. Old Aerodeck accord could be very much FTW. |

Sounds like K20 is slightly lighter than Hondas B18 as a bonus. Newer Civics than ED/F will definitely give more engine bay room to firewall, bonnet & frt overhang but it's certainly been fit into ED/F Civic. Everything moved around though with exhaust/intake & engine/G/box all swapping places. Heard EK need EG or EJ(coupe) subframe for a little more clearance.   Since Rover R8 was based upon ED/F Civic floorpan with frt struts instead of wishbones it's all family Rover engined versions already have engine on drivers (RH) side... Also spotted MG ZR pic.  |
