FWD K-Swap or Equivelent

If you’re reading this, than chances are you know the raw Power of the Honda K-series Engine swapped into an older Chassis; FWD machine gunning rev-limiters while squeeling through tires, all while pulling on a Far more expensive car.
You know their Bulletproof Reliability and affordability to replace, and how Simple and efficient they are to run. We’ve done 3 into First Gen Honda Insights, and The last and cleanest example got an article on Jalopnic, went to InsightFest2019, and was Hasport tested and Approved.
And though we will not be doing any more Ksights for the Foreseeable Future, We May Kswap FWD variants of other Cars; as long as theyre more than 25 years old, and did not come with a more efficient or engine with less cylinders. Integras are great candidates as the i-vtec found in K24A3 is actually more efficient for City and Highway driving.
Specialized motor mounts will be used, or made, to change the engine mounting-sides of some car’s engine bays, such as older hondas. Axels are another consideration and may be custom made in house. Exhausts will be modified, but retain Catalytic converters, muffler, and emissions compliance. Engine Wiring will be fully soldered and labeled with disconnects, and updated to OBD2 if 96 or older. Fuel Returns will be added at K-series fuel Rail to fit older Vehicles fuel returns. And extensive pictures and documentation will be recorded and progress posted on TigerroadAuto Social Medias.
Customer’s Vehicles will be carefully screened and chosen based on road-worthiness and swap viability. No cars that have been sitting, do not have a title, have not been recently registered, no siezed brakes, or gummed fuel tanks.
We reserve the right to choose RWD Kswaps over FWD Kswaps, as they can have more room to work with.
RWD K-Swap or Equivelent

Now here is were it really Gets GOOD. Since Honda Kseries Engines Spin Universally, they can be mated to many Non-Honda Transmissions. In fact Honda is one of the few Manufacturers that produces its Own transmissions; most every other manufacturers buys them from a known transmission manufacturer, such as Asin. This means that one transmission may be shared among 4 different manufacturers; meaning they all turn the same way, and since Honda K-series spin that same counter-clockwise direction now, they can also share those mass produced transmissions; Many of which are RWD.
And though we figured this out years ago, we weren’t the only ones, and since then, Kswaps have been a viable option in every car, especially RWD cars. Being a cheap alternative to the LS1, for budget drift cars. All you need is an Engine and Adapter plate, then source a good Transmission and a proper Driveshaft yoke.
Custom Motor Mounts may need to be hand-made, and AC compressors may not fit in the same spot. But Electric AC compressors can be set to reliably spin at the press of a button. And we can Do Electric Power Steering if needed; and Electric Water pumps like the “Davies Craig” Set ups, if also necessary for a tight engine bay.
In All cases we will look to source a stock K24A3 from a CRV or Accord, as K20 engines are much harder and rarer to find; and the Torque from K24 engines add to availability. Technically we Can Kswap you S2000 so long as it is 25 years old, as K24 i-Vtec engines are more Fuel Efficient than the F20c, and can save a lot of gas with the right Differential Final Drive.
There are a few final considerations like modifying S2000 parts to keep cost low, but we hand all of that; right down to custom welding a leak-proof oil pan. Remember that Customer’s Vehicles will be carefully screened and chosen based on road-worthiness and swap viability. No cars that have been sitting, do not have a title, have not been recently registered, no siezed brakes, or gummed fuel tanks.
Our Mobile Service vehicle is a 1989 Volvo 740 GLE, with a K24 TSX block and K20 Type S VTEC Head combo, S2000 intake and fuel rail parts with 70mm Throttle Body, 3inch exhaust, and a Saturn VUE on column Electric Power Steering together with a manual converted Chevy Camaro Steering Rack.
FWD to RWD

With the Excitement Surrounding the newest installment of the Prelude Line, we Believe its time to Create a RWD Prelude kit.
Originally the Prelude was the predecessor to the S2000. Its long front nose and large engine bay was on its way to Test planning a Longitudinal RWD 5 cylinder layout (yes Honda has a 5cylinder engine, see the G25/G-series). But Instead Honda chose to build the F20 Compact Engine series; which had a slight slant reduction in the front of it’s crank-case (the Compact design), allowing it to fit better under a low sports car hood.
Since the Prelude was the inspired layout to become Honda’s greatest RWD coupe, it is a great choice Honda Chassis to make it so. And currently It’s very possible, but also very expensive; S1-built has a rear Subframe for somewhere around $4500, then a Jaguar Differential will be needed, a Drive shaft, transmission, adapter plate, Kseries engine, and mounts made.
Then a custom oil pan, something like the s2000 with front sump, and chassis modifications; like slight relocation of the fuel tank and a transmission tunnel.
All very possible, so we will be screening for Candidates slowly, and if you are as seriously interested as we are; Feel free to Message us.
