Mivec rwd conversion?

[Fawksy]

Does anyone know of or tried converting a Mivec to rwd? The motor not the car.

Convert a motor to RWD? What?

Yeah, I was like "I know the answer it's already been cove-... wait what?"

In short. No.

I've seen pictures of a 6A12TT in an old RWD Sigma.
Must have been on a Sigma forum.

Isn't that one different also? Gearbox on other side or something? Guess it doesn't make much difference when the whole motor orientation is changed!

Does rear engine rear wheel drive count?

That topic is interesting, I am looking at front engine setup. The mivec is such a great engine, we have a spare to play with.

Sooo, you want to put a MIVEC 6A12 into a car that is not an FTO?

[Fawksy]

Yes thats what I am looking at.

Ahh, well then. That clears things up. The answer is probably also no, aside from the Elise.

I suspect there's would be a not inconsiderable amount of work involved, but that's an amateurs guess! What sort of car are you thinking of?

Good luck with that.
