lowlancer Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Have a 4G32 Got a gearbox out of a sigma I think it was, 4G32 RWD. Bolts in mint, shift comes through the right place etc but just that fucking cunting release bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510WGN Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Yes the Honda engines DO rotate Anticlockwise, not clockwise like everything else. At work my boss was making a new offroader from scratch, boss wanted to use Honda power to be different. So got a ZC DOHC 1600 and stripped it down, made some mods here and there and made the thing run clockwise! Had the Cams all reprofiled to suit running backwards, had external braided oil pump lines hanging out of front cover to allow oil pump to work, HEAPS of fancy shit! The only problem was fooling the factory computer into thinking it was running the correct way We had tried HEAPS of different way to do this, it would run, but not properly. So fitted a carb and was all sweet That engine is now just sitting on workshop floor collecting dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't cost him a thing cause it's his workshop So not sure how much the shop paid to get it done. I know the Braided oil hoses and Earls fitting aren't cheap for a start! He also made an adapter plate and fitted it to a VW box. Not sure how much of it is around anymore, but could probably have a look around. HE might even want to sell it...

Wouldn't be able to have a look see would ya. Might go well in the Starlet And being that it runs the correct way I can;t really call it a honda motor. I can say I have a hybrid of my own creation MWAHAHAHAH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzie Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 You know you can't afford it muzzie Yeah I know, but dreams are free , realistically I'd want a 5 spd and a turbo in the van before I did the starlet. Unless I blow it before hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
