That's pretty neat.  I heard the K20A Is lisenced by Wankel and has 4 inline rotors that rotate. True?

Hmm I wonder if there are rotors that don't rotate.

And that's stock. Apparently there is a LOT of potential for more in those motors.
It doesn't even look like you had to shoehorn it in or anything (though it's hard to tell for sure w/o the rad supports in there).
Nice.

I dont know how in the hell u guys got your hands on a jdm hatch , but the combination
of the k20 sitting in this car has given me a hardon that u could swing from and the jealousy in me is making me feel that I want to choke u while making love to your car of coarse. nice work guys . keep us posted I'd like to see what this runs at the track. And also are u going to be making any more of these mounts? If so lmk I'll buy a set.

RHD does not always equal JDM. This car is located in Austrialia. All Honda hatches and CRX's were build in Japan at that time.

That swap is so nice. As cool as it would be to make a H1 car like that I don't think it would be competitive.

good work. i do want to know some of the details about the swap as well. This was a long term goal for me, but has been put on hold.

Any info would be great though.

Awesome work!!

Thanks for the kind words guys. The build has had a few headaches but nothing major. The mounts were custom made by a fabricator who works on top door slammers over here in Australia and the engine fit in the bay with only minor shaping of the right hand chassis rail, for clearance of the alternator pulley. The original brake booster didn't fit so a remote booster has been put behind the right hand headlight. The cable clutch to hydro clutch was fixed by converting the whole set up to a hydro system. Wiring wasn't that hard as the we had all the wiring diagrams from hondata, and we still have to wire up a few things. Custom extractors are being made up as we speak and should be finished Wednesday ready for tuning, to be finished on Saturday, ready for the test and tune on Saturday night (fingers crossed).
