the rear of a different vehicle? Why does the direction of crankshaft rotation matter one jot?
It's not just the S2000 that rotates in the conventional direction either.

I think iank meant to say front engined/RWD, not transverse as clearly a mid engined installation that is an ideal application for the Honda.

My bad, meant longitudinal RWD, i.e. 7 layout, of course they will work as a middy engine.

Has anyone used the A-V-G 1.8T in a kit car?
Does that suffer from the same problem as the Honda's?

polus,
Yep, it's gonna be quite a big engine in the kit car world I suspect. Lots made, will be cheap, reliable and quite tuneable
BTT, twin turbo Rover V8!!

Should work assuming you can get a suitable gearbox + bellhousing.
Donkervoort are already using it.
