If you are looking to put this in a lsis in rwd config then iirc this is one of the hondas that turns the opposite way to normal so finding a gearbox
will be tricky.

Ifyou are looking fir something different, I always wondered if the lexus is200 2.0l straight six would fit. 170hp and a free six speed box. But for
value a 1.8 mx5 with an eaton blower must be pretty high on the list, a number of conversions around.

Anyone know how to get an anti-clockwise Honda engine in a RWD kit car? I love the B18C in my Integra Type R, I think it'd make a cracking
choice for a se7en. But what gearbox and diff?

I will have a look into the Lexus, any idea of approximate price of the blown MX5 install?

I imagine getting the engine and charger is the easy/cheap bit, all the ancillaries and mapping will bump the cost up to something like £2-3k as a
wild guess.
Another option is the Beams 3SGE Toyota engine that is in the celica/MR2/Altezza, in the Altezza it comes with the 6 speed RWD box. Apparently quite
tall but looks like it works well with thottle bodies going by some YouTube dyno runs. There is a Seven with it in on there.

If you go for the BEAMS 3SGE get the Altezza variant, not a Celica/MR2.
The Altezza type is already RWD, the others will need LOTS of work to convert to RWD.
I have done a 3SGE RWD conversion for my car and would definitely go the Altezza route if I was starting again.
I can also vouch for the AZ6 six speeder, having just fitted one to my car.
The 3SGE is a cracking engine.
The BEAMS variant is 210bhp standard which is plenty.

Just stumbled across a complete Honda Accord Type S (2004) 7th generation 2.4 making 188hp.
Anyone here used this engine?
That's a K20A4, effectively the Integra/Civic Type R engine but in a lower state of tune. It's been used in quite a few 7 style cars, but
it's a tall engine so a dry sump may be called for.
Sadly the 6 speed box from an S2000 uses a different bellhousing bolt pattern to the K20 lumps, so the gearbox is still a problem.
