Honda B Series Swapped Honda CM7 Accord

Rukus Motorsports has debuted quite a few unique vehicles at Toronto’s Motorama car show. In 2017 their front hall contribution was this Honda Accord in the front hall.

Yes, it is a Honda B series in a Honda chassis, but what makes this particular implementation unique is the position of the motor and the drive wheels.

Practically dwarfing (which is now spun sideways to aid in converting the vehicle to rear wheel drive) the motor is the extremely large Precision 88m Turbo.

Rukus has been pretty secretive about the exact numbers this car puts down but, the hashtag in the video below allude to it making at least 1000 horsepower.

And as of summer of 2018 the car ran 8.4 in the quarter mile at 30psi.

Looks and power. There might not be much “Accord” left in this car but there sure is a lot of Honda.

When I sat down and started compling swaps for Swaps Are Everything it hadn’t occured to me how many motor swapped drag cars I’d photographed.

Sure, you can argue that this car isn’t exactly a “Corvette” but, hands up if you ever expected a Nissan TB48DE to sit within the body of a Corvetted C7 drag car?

This too was spotted at Toronto’s Motorama and The Chassis Stop built this particular little red Corvette.

This straight six Nissan Patrol lifted motor under the one piece front end of this Corvette runs on alcohol and has a Precision Turbo hanging off the side of it.

The rest of the car is built to small tire specifications, which I’d love to elaborate on but The Chassis Stop Facebook page is light on details.

If anyone has more details on this car, as far as ET’s and specs go feel free to add them in the comments below!

8.2L V12 Swapped 1969 Camaro

Saying “first” on the internet is usually a bad thing, but, this is indeed the world’s first 8.2L V12 LS 1969 Camaro. The car was built by Mike Heim of Quality Custom Rides.

Mike teamed up with Matt and Shane Corish who took the wild idea of a V12 LS motor and brought it to life. The motor is essentially two Holden V8 LS motors welded together.

However the blocks are now available for purchase utilizing a custom casting.

Quality Custom Rides held nothing back when it came to modifying this Camaro itself. There’s a ton of body mods hidden throughout. Over all it’s been channeled 3 inches, and had another 4 inches taken out of the rockers. It’s also got suicide doors which are opened via the side mirror.

Finally it tucks plenty of wheel thanks to an Accuair based air ride suspension set up.

Finished off to show quality this car has done it’s rounds, including a trip to SEMA and Toronto’s own Motorama.

The eagle eyed of you can probably already tell that yes, these motors are available for purchase from V12LS.com.

Mopar 6.4L Hemi Swapped Jeep Wrangler JK

Jagraj Grewal’s 2008 Jeep Wrangler JK isn’t a truck for everyone. For starters it goes down, not up, like most Jeeps do and it rides on 24″ Forgiato wheels.

To finish, it’s got a 6.4 liter Hemi V8 under the hood on permanent loan from a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack.

Jag has owned this Jeep for over a decade and there’s not a single part of it he hasn’t modified. From the way the hood opens, to the rear suicide doors.

Never mind the completely bespoke air suspension set up based around Accuair management that’s discreetly hidden where the spare tire would typically reside.

Like many of the vehicle’s in Swaps Are Everything this one splits the jury, but regardless of what you may think about the styling choices, the quality of the work done is indisputable.

You’d be hard pressed to find a single flaw on this truck from rear bumper to front, and widened fender to widened fender.

You won’t find another Jeep Wrangler just like this one anywhere and that’s my friends is exactly the point.

Splitfire Performance is known for building some of the fastest import vehicles in Ontario Canada. Owner, and turbo guru Paul Bhawan has been racing his ’78 Datsun 240z for over twenty years.

In the years Paul’s been racing the car it has always had some sort of motor swap. Earlier on the car ran with a turbo V6 lifted out of a Buick Grand National. In an effort to bring things back into the Nissan fold an RB26 replaced the Chevrolet mill.

When that wasn’t enough a Nissan Patrol tb48 4.8L straight six was bored and stroked to 5.7L before being dropped into place.

The boosted straight six powered version of the car debuted at Motorama in 2018 featuring a ton of Vibrant Performance components and a Pro Mod Gen 2 Precision Turbocharger.

Backed by a five speed Liberty transmission the car dynoed at over 2000 horsepower.

Chevy 4.3L Vortec Swapped Volkswagen Beetle

The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most beloved, and modified, cars ever. As a result motor swaps are not at all uncommon for the platform.

But, Ron Vizelman’s is in a league of its own when it comes to motor swaps. Ron has installed a turbocharged 4.3L Chevrolet Vortec V6 in the front of his Volkswagen Beete.

At a moderate 8 pounds of boost the car V6 beetle put down 217 horsepower and 326 foot pounds of torque.

The Chevrolet powered Beetle rides on an s10 chassis that’s been modified to mostly fit under the stock Volkswagen dimensions. The fenders have been widened all around to better fit the 18″ wheels and tires that help keep the car on the straight and narrow.

Oh, and just for an added level of awesome, or complexity, the Beetle car rides on air.

Bettering his efforts with each vehicle, Dylan Sharpe put this 2JZ powered S15 Silvia together for Gridlife in 2016.

Dylan can be quite methodical, and as a result this car performed as well as it looked.

Equipped with a Vertex Edge body kit, wild chrome graphics, and of course a Borg Warner S366SXE turbo the was extremely competitive all while still being street worthy.

What’s the number one thing you need to concern yourself with when you hop behind the wheel of a Chevrolet LSA swapped Cadillac Eldorado? Where reverse is. The second is how quickly the vehicle accelerates.

Seriously, this Eldorado, built by Engineered Automotive –the hosts of Cars and Coffee Toronto— has a warning stuck to the side of it.

With 558 horsepower on tap this car is certainly not your grandfather’s Cadillac.

Toyota 2JZ Swapped Subaru Impreza STI

Before NV Auto built their Formula Drift Pro 2 Toyota 2JZ powered Subaru BRZ their competition car was this Toyota 2JZ swapped Subaru Impreza.

With NV Auto being known for their vast Subaru knowledge this car is an obvious match made in heaven.

The 2JZ was swapped into the car to replace a 500 horsepower EJ207 with an extremely narrow power-band.

2JZ powered, the car was fairly competitive in its heyday, but if memory serves suspension geometry limitations made the BRZ a much more competitive platform to move forward with.
