V-Tec Powered Smart car (Smartec)

[Timini]

Hey Frost,

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone tried to stuff a honda motor in a smart...Good for you.. I can't wait to see it finished..

I have attach a photo of my old Mini.. Its a 1972 mini with a b-16 honda vtec inside.. I had the car built in Georgia by Minitec about 4 years ago. I just recently sold it to a guy in Northern Caifornia.. It was a beast.. it had about 198hp...It could beat just about every street honda on Maui.. It was just to much car for me.. I would have ended up dead driving it.

I decided on a smart after my trip in 2006 to europe.. that's when I fell in love with the smart car. I now own my 2009 smart..

I think it is great that you are doing this project.. Please keep us posted.

Aloha, Tim

H2B smart making about 280whp NA sounds good to me

Hell, a D16Z6 with 405whp on boost wouldn't be bad either

That mini is awesome....
"awww look its a mini" (crack vtec).....

Still busy with the conversion, got the engine to fit 100%.
Using the stock Smart fuel lines and pump.
Fitted honda shocks and busy fitting rear calipers.
Will post good quality pics soon!!

thanks for the update! Will be looking forward to more.

How much custom work (if any) was required to fit the honda engine into the engine bay?
