Engine transplants that should be done!

[Glubags]

And the S2000 engine (F20C/F22C) will drop right into my Civic and bolt up to the K20 transmission. Hey Glubags...

Hahaha, sorry man, already sold.

It wouldn't work or fit for that matter. The 1.6L 4 cylinder engine barely fits under the bonnet so I can't imagine anything bigger would work. You could put it in the back ala Clio Sport but even then I don't know if it would be big enough.

For engine swaps though, I'm all for shoe horning an LS1 into anything you can possibly make it fit in.

Ok, maybe the I-6 out of the E39 would be a better alternative than the E90 V8. It could still be called a Mini Cooper M!

I think I have a full setup now...

With these on the back...



And this between the engine and huge rear end.

Aww, its all bundled up.

Though, it's not to protect it...but YOU. XD

Put it into the better looking generation.

And you got a buyer.

An interesting one would be converting a Mini to AWD using a second transverse engine mounted where the Z-axles go. Put a box over it to cover it up and no-one will know. It'll be sort of like the AWD Moke they had before (twin-engined, so that they didn't have to design an AWD system to fit!)

Use two Cooper S engines with the Works package (for a total 400 hp), synchronise them the cheap and easy way by using the 6-speed AT, so you retain paddle-shift functionality, and mount a custom mid-chassis fuel tank, build twin cells under the driver and passenger seat, a la Honda Fit.

There are quite a few classic Minis with AWD in them, some even running AWD and VTEC. They are fairly epic to say the least. I haven't see an AWD MINI yet though, I'm sure someone out there is rocking one.

Bike-engined Minis are awesome. The VTEC ones are nice, but ridiculously unbalanced...

Though, I suppose that depends on the set-up and the driver...


Damnit... now I want one! There's a guy doing a custom D15B-swap around here... even fabricating custom accessory adapters so he can keep AC (no space for that on a B16 swap...).

 

[Boffin]

My two that I have longed for is an RB26DETT in an original Fiat 500, and the V12 out of an McLaren F1 into an E36.

 

[niky]

Won't fit in the Fiat. Heck... not even the Abarth engine fit in the Fiat...

I know! Isn't it great?

 

[Sharky.]

How about a 3.5 Rover V8 into a Mini?




The engine's mounted in the rear transversely O.o

I have another one:

This out of a 2010 GT500 Super Snake:

That would give me another excuse to keep the old Ranger around! It's already got the classic 1970 Mustang Mach 1 rims on it!

Honda 4cyl in a Suzuki Cappuccino. Maybe an S2k engine.

Normally I'd go for the Rolls Royce Merlin engine, but I think the weight distribution would harm the Cap's delicate balance.

What do you guys think of this swap?

Z Cars are famous for bike engine/twin bike engined and supercharged civic powered mini's.

The Toyota MR2 fits a newer camry V6 quite nicely.

The Rx300 engine can make 205 hp for the 2600 lb MR2. Reliable engine too, in a tiny package.

Friend of mine put the Corolla (E120) T-Sport engine into a Mk3 MR2, for an easy 190hp.

A somewhat de-tuned Honda Formula 1 V10 into an early '90s NSX would be just about perfection.

Why nobody's thought to swap a Citroën 2CV engine into an H1 Hummer boggles the mind. I mean...those pesky treehuggers would be off your back in no time.
