yeah the H22 runs backwards

@mercutio didn't know that it would have to be run in reverse, why is that? ...because of how the tranny links up?

no your getting confused

the H22 runs backwards compared to the other Honda engines in the range now and the rest of the worlds offerings

so mating it to another gearbox isnt as easy as making up an adapter plate

LOL i was drawing up solutions and everything to the backwards running problem haha

thats saved a lot of planning and prep.

of course the handling would need configuring because of extra drive but do you reckon it would be that much of a noticeable difference to the steering wheel?

yeah the car is setup for front drive so the steering will be weighted for that so may well oversteer like a bitch

most would get excited but thats a bit of a disappointment really. i dont remember mine seeming that powerful.

a rear mounted config should sort that over steer out

i put a lot of thought into a awd 4ws lude twin engined but its very complicated and will be very expensive and time consuming and i do not have the time

my plan was...

Mid engine v6 awd > Front engine v6 awd > Mid H2B awd > Front H2B awd

the last one s looking most possible, when i have enough of a chance to focus i'll decide. though that v6 idea is really too good to not have in the back of my mind.

looked into that as well and the v6 is around 50kg heavier than the h22 it would ruin the handling in a fwd car which is why the NSX runs the same engine mid mounted
