needs boost and aerodynamics
you can get a adaptor plate built for any engine/gearbox combo you can imagine, then just get the bseries running in the right direction, if it is a b-seriesDidnt realise subaru justy 4wd gear was suitable for a honda motor...

Adaptor plate or not it wouldn't physically run.. the subaru gear would run backwards or engine mounted backwards. It'd have to go from a clockwise rotation (looking down the engine from 1-4) to anticlockwise because of the way honda engines are and where there gearboxes are mounted. Cant just ask an engine to run in a direction you want either
Even if it was possible... the adapter would cost more than the rest of the build and little 1litre running gear strapped to a 1.8vtec wouldn't last 5 minutes
that's my few pence worth

Best I seen was a rover v8 running through a spitfire diff... complete detonation of the diff hahaAdaptor plate or not it wouldn't physically run.. the subaru gear would run backwards or engine mounted backwards.

Best ive seen though i remember no details... was a 22litre (yes 22 not 2.2) tugboat engine in a rover sd1. On paper it was technically capable of 200mph in either 1st or 2nd gear... I must dig it up and share

PPC that's where I saw it. Still have the original magazine somewhere. I like the way he works

you can get b series engines to run the right way, they use them in rwd escorts through a ford gearbox, would be nice if you did reasearch first before blanket statements, happen to know the shear strength of the gears in that gearbox too?

Wow you've got that all wrong. To physically get the subaru gearbox to run the way IT was designed then the ENGINE (in this case a b series) would have to run physically BACKWARDS. Which is damn impossible... or are you gonna tell me I'm wrong again?
You're talking longitudinally and transversely mountings of an engine and not engine rotation like I was on about. Which when you apply that fact also make my "blanket statement" still relevant and true
Turning an engine to a longitudinal mount is easy and not how the subaru justy FOUR WHEEL DRIVE system works... which let not forget is the whole point of this is it not? Not RWD escorts which I happen to know have very strong type 9 gearboxes. Rwd and 4wd are totally different animals
So it'd be nice if YOU did your research and kept on topic. Ok pumpkin?
