First try and it starts right up. That's a Honda for you!

I so want to do this to a 1971 Honda 600. A new vtec engine in an old Honda would be soooo Legit

@TheRastaS13 Sounds good, but "Legit" makes you sound like a 12 year old girl.

is this fit into a standard length round nose or a watsons extended front end?

thinking of doing a vtec turbo swap into a mini looking at more like 350hp+ though might be too much really duno if i can get brakes for a mini that could stop it lol

what type if sub frame did you us? home made or aftermarket. Do you have any pics of engine bay fabrication? Could you send me some info and pics of what you need for the swap. I plan on using a b16a2 but don't want to spend 2500 for a sub frame. Thanks. kidjmk@cox.net

Looks like a fun conversion, a friend is putting an Astra GTE power unit into clubman...similar issues with gearing.....

sounds so good. Great job..

Good work my friend, lots of power and you won't be stuck under the bonnet every weekend with over-tuned A-series. Plan on doing this myself to my old banger at some point, but I'm thinking mid-mounted and rear wheel drive.

I think people on here need to realise that they are perfectly entitled to do whatever they want to their Mini...whatever floats your boat.

If you haven't seen them already, check out the Mini Madness and Mini Mayhem DVDs, they cover every engine swap there is going.
