New Project. J swap.

[Addicted]

Well, I know I'm new here, but I figured you guys might like his. We got a new project in. I know this is a bit different, but bear with me.

First, we started off with a Sand rail that had a porsche 914 engine in it. Time to swap in a J series.

For the beginning pictures, see:

Now, we're getting in a bit deeper

We're using:
99 Accord J30 motor
Stock injectors
Walboro 255lph inline pump
AEM EMS 1060
CRX Mishimoto radiator / Slim fans
VW transaxle
VW bus 5 rib transmission
Kennedy Engineering engine - trans adapter
Custom made headers
Custom fabbed wiring harness

Pictures of how it sits now:

Let me know what you guys think thus far!

Something different. Like it.

That is one thing I want to do before I die, drive a sandrail. The look so incredibly fun to drive

That thing looks deadly unsafe. A 300hp V6 in a 400lbs (basically) dune buggy? Someones gonna kill themself.

But, nice project. Why use a VW Bus transmission? Just seems like alot more work than using the J trans.

 

[Addicted]

Thanks for the interest everone! The VW trans, axles, etc. were already in sand rail from the previous motor, it just made more sense to get the adapter plate and save some money / time!

 

[Szady]

So your saying someone already makes an adapter plate to mate together a VW Bus tranny to a Honda J-Series motor?

 

[Addicted]

Yes sir! Kennedy Engineering makes them for the VW bus trans to J series motors. It'll fit a J30, J32, and J35. The clutch and flywheel are custom made by a sand rail company already as well.
