Cutlass372 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wow, that is such a tiny motor lol. It's a mid engine car now. I can't wait to see this thing finished; Keep the pictures coming and get a video when your finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 It's about the same length as a 4 liter V8... Now VQ35, THAT is far back. Though maybe Aux's rotory takes the cake for farthest back and down motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffGarcia77 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Z2000, any new progress to report? It was looking great in the last pics you posted. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97GSTAT Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Awesome build. This is exactly what I was planning on doing, as far as powerplant, once I find the right 240. Keep up the good work and take plenty of pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I think he actually finished the swap. I seem to recall him posting about taking it to the track and breaking the rear end after a couple runs. I don't think there have been any new pics though.

Gollum Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I haven't seen any posts of it being done, but I know he was pretty close to done last august iirc. So it should be on the road by now. I have a hard time believing he broke the rear end though. He must have had wheel hop issues. There's guys on stock SBC engines making 400+ torque that the stock R180 holds up to. It's just about not having too much meat in the back and keeping the tires in contact with the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=140198 It looks like he ran a 13.3 and then broke. He's running an R160 out of a subaru. That may have contributed to the differential failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffGarcia77 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 97GSTAT: Z2000 stated that he was going to keep plans/measurements of the mounts that he built for this swap. I am leaning towards this swap myself, but using a 2.2 liter version of that S2000 engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
