Had a great long weekend getting the first slingshot engine transplant from GM to Honda powertrain . Very excited to have completed this build , our goal is to develop a kit for future Honda slingshot builds.

Pictures are good but video would be great!!!
I am very impressed by this. So freaking cool.
This looks great and definitely something different , very interested in seeing the numbers and his first hand experience with it.
I have never been a fan of turbos/supercharger and the hassle that goes with them, a NA 300WHP Sling sounds like the perfect machine.
A few odds and ends and a date with the dyno coming soon .

And maybe some video of the Honda at full song where we can hear what it sounds like.
wow,
i would love to do something like this. the stock engine is ok for the SS but getting a bad a$$ one like this.. i'm jealous!
Hi Stickerdick, nice to unofficially meet you. I had a chance to meet a great guy , kenny_h at Daytona last week and he told me all about your project. Read earlier where you might be interesting in kitting the Vtec conversion. I thought you might be interested in this if you haven't already seen it Specification | Honda Engine Conversion Specification. I previously purchased an irrepairable 2009 Lotus Elise at an insurance auction , got it running again, enjoyed running the snot out of it for about a year then sold it off to Texas to a guy for a track car. The Lotus O.E.M. Drivetrain then was a 1.8 litre Toyota drivetrain 189 h.p. but mine was superchsrged which puts out 218 H.P. But I was seriously looking at the Honda conversions for it. Britain leads the world for all things Lotus, as they,re produced there and there,s a huge track circuit for them there, by far the favourite engine for racers there in a lotus(which coincidentally weighs the same as a slingshot) is the Honda Vtec. Hondaelise.com is just one of many specialist offering conversions there. thought you might be interested, Heres a pic of my Elise, same house but featured vehicle on my front lawn now is my 2015 Sling decked out of course with our new body kits. lol (SSBODYKITS.COM) Why does one go from a Lotus Elise to a Slingshot ? SIMPLE, when it comes to agility, high speed cornering capabilies and that low to the ground, power to weight sensation the Slingshot is the only thing that compares to a Lotus Elise, same weight , same horsepower , same performance !
