If I get the F20C engine from Honda, I would have to use with some modifications it's rear diff as well.

Here in Slovakia we are particiating on slalom race where the cars are divided according the size of the engine, up to 1.4, up to 1.6, up to 2.0 up to 3.0 and above that, and I'd like to stay in the category up to 2.0 liters thats why I dont want turbo or compressor

I believe the S2000 engine rotates the right way, the FWD Honda engines rotate the wrong way.
Zetec ST170 + some cams and head work will get near 200bhp
The Duratec ford especially the 2.3 will go to 200 easy, 250 with work to 300 with loads of money

If the engine rotates the wrong way can you not just turn the diff upside down?

depends if the diff has a breather on top ? in theory it could

looks like no need tho honda are spinning this one the other way but every other honda engine span the other way

was pointing out it would need considering as most people presume engines all spin the same way

Hi, if you get the S200 motor, make sure you get the ECU AND the correct key for it, they are coded, and without the key, you wont get the ECU to work. There are aftermarket ECU's, but that is more cost.

On the plus side, the S2000 motor is just about unbustable, they really sing. I know, as the wife bought me one for my anniversary.

Regards

Chris
