Honda B18C engine

[niallyc]

Hi All!

I have just started my haynes roadster and I am in the very early stages of chassis construction. Just after starting my build I heard of a clean low mileage Honda Intergra type R that may be going for breaking (depending on how fixable it is after its little incident). It would be a fantastic engine but unfortunately it's rotation is opposite to that of most other engine. My plan to overcome this situation is as follows:
1. Install engine as normal and attach type 9 gearbox using custom bellhousing. This now gives me 5 reverse speeds and 1 forward.
2. Install the rear diff in an inverted position so that reverse is now forward and vice versa. I will have to look at the mounting of this and I may also need to do some customising to the filler plug and drainage plug.

Does anyone know if this works or can be done?
