Mainly Honda civics and integras I think. Either twin or single cam Vtec's, 1.6L and 1.8L engines are generally used. When it comes down to an engine conversion you need to look at; -BHP and Torque out puts, -initial cost of the engine and gear box and everything else needed to run the engine, -SIZE, will it actually fit in a round nose, clubby or extended nosed mini, -weight of the new drive train, -engineer costs and the cost of making a new subframe. Their is a lot of other things but these are some of the main ones to consider. Unless you are in love with the idea of a Honda powered mini start looking at other makes ie Starlet 1.3L, Swift 1.3L, Civics as mentioned, charades etc etc. |
