Uh, there's plenty of underhood room for a turbo in front of a 4 cyl or V8 swap, the hood is half of the small chassis Triumphs. If you're running EFI the plenums don't stick up anywhere near as high as intake + carb + filter... absolutely no need to cut the hood to fit all that on a Spitfire.

Have you seen any of the 4AGE swapped Spits? Beautiful swap, engine looks like it belongs there.

What about a f22 turbo in one of these things? :6

My buddy is selling an 85 Golf, aparently was stripped down and just painted, motor is out of the car. Are those cars any good for anything? Maybe looking for a multi year project, wonderring what I could do with it

Re: Honda Motors in Non honda cars?
 

fitting the 1.8 20v turbo from an Audi TT is easy in those mk1 golf's. 400bhp a few tuning bits away.

Interesting the love for old british motors. My mate owned a fully restored spitfire his dad race's them.

honda motor came stock on saturn VUEs

Re: Honda Motors in Non honda cars?
 

Huh? Where do you get that from? Most people try to ditch the motors since they are better suited as boat anchors... and more importantly, they can ditch the transmission attached to said boat anchor. Aside from the synchromesh TR5/250/6 gearboxes I can't think of a single British gearbox that isn't machined out of poorly tempered pot metal.

Lovely styling, though, and if you get a pre'73 car (BMC switched to Toledo steel then) the rust is nowhere near as bad as a domestic of the same year.

Re: Honda Motors in Non honda cars?
 

first an 85 is mk2,and second a aba/16v would bolt right in and make more power with less money. you need to do some massaging to get any of the newer 4cyl engines in there

Re: Honda Motors in Non honda cars?
 

hahaha, i know the engines are a pile of crap. British slang, motor = car. A friend has a GT6 he's fitting an E36 M3 lump into. He also has an 85 twin turbo'ed 325, all custom fabricated including 6 ITB's, which reminds me, i should post up some pics of his cars. They're a bit silly.

Re: Honda Motors in Non honda cars?
 

Eh, I wouldn't say all of them are crap. The Triumph I-6 for example, as found in the TR5/250/6 as well as original to your friend's GT6, is a wonderful engine. For a small farm tractor.
