Given that you can get 240bhp very easily from a turbo or an SC, certainly much easier than an engine transplant, I have to ask - why?
Because its that power as an NA, SC'd its going to be 320/340 with std internals, then there is reliability, V-Tec, 6 speed box

I'm surprised more people haven't done the Honda conversion for this reason. The SC is nice but to have the same power from a relatively uncomplicated NA engine must be awesome. Supercharging the Honda does bring reliability issues though. Guy round here took his SC off after blowing 2 engines. I think they need internals uprating ideally.

Interesting projectwhat are the track wheels?

Engine might be uncomplicated but fitting isn't, especially with the gearbox.
Even the Elise conversions aren't to the point of fit and forget, its still evolving with revisions the parts like the gearshift mech recently.
Besides, Honda conversions in different cars a so common, a Harrop on ZZ2SE, now that's different

And tell your mate to uprate the internals or not run it so high of boost. By the sounds of it he'd blow whatever motor was put in his car

I forgott to check the clearence between std engine oil pan and underbody panel?
Anyone having any idea what this is?
I was thinking about having around 5mm clearence?!
You can alway space out the undertray a little with some big washers on the main M8 points.
On my K20 Elise there's about 5mm clearance with some spacers.
I did fit some thin neoprene strips on the undertray as it would sometimes still touch the sump (eg. high speed) because of vibration/movement in the undertray.
Anyone who knows how much bhp std fuel pump/pumps are able to manage?
Normally aspirated the fuel pump in the VX should be good for at least 250HP and probably close to 300HP.
With forced induction (turbo/SC) this usually drops somewhat as you need to increase the fuel pressure and that reduces the flow from the pump.
Are there 2 pumps?
No. Only 1 in-tank pump is standard.
Bye, Arno.

Before I started assembling the engine I built this little stool.

The sample set with the engine.
The engine fits perfect (what it seems now) I have 2-3cm margin a little bit here on there.

Now there should be motor mounts, got home some pieces today.
And my big investment 2p hockypuckar.

Also, is there anyone who have any overview picture of where and to what all the hoses in the engine bay is going?
All for this time.
Regards, Per
