Hey all

 

Well, after 2 days karting session with a friend (archefield carts) ive got an idea.

1 of the guys there was talking about a Rotax kart which had a 500 CC motor & a 5 speed attached - did the 1/4 mile in just ova 11 seconds - and could do wheel spin around the hole archefield kart track in 3rd gear... :D

 

So, This gave me the idea.

 

Rotax + Rotax + Rotax + Rotax = (500 X 4) = 2000 CC

.....

into ke70...

....

 

..

- nar -

 

 

:P

 

 

Why do that, when i could go and get a super bike motor that redlines @ abou 14 k, connect it up into the ke70, using all mod bits to get it to fix, and see how that goes :D

 

(Disclamer - its only a 'joke' idea, so don't take it to heart if a mechically mided person out there knows 200% that its stupid, wrong, impossible... etc)

 

- But its still worth a laugh lol -

Reverse?

ummmmmm :P

 

gearbox?

mmmmmmmm...

Not to mention motorcycle engines tend to have about zero torque. There are already motorcycle powered cars (Hayabusa generally), but they're generally in lighter cars like Lotus 7's. I think I posted a link to a twin engined one ages ago.

in england theres some guys with a car called the "Escort RR". Basically an escort with a motorbike engine... i think it is that uses a 990cc..goes hard...but the engine makes like 130hp @ 11,000rpm

suzuki released a concept car at the jap motor show a couple of years ago which was a 600cc motorbike motor in a twinseat car made of carbon kevlar, weighed about 500kg from memory

 

and yes, motorbike motors have no torque. to even just start moving normally off a stop, you'd have to slip the clutch at like 9000rpm

 

still, i'd lighten a mini or ke10 or r100 and put a turbo motorbike motor in it for a wicked hillclimb car

 

for those of your on broadband, have a look for a video called "gixxercart", suzuki gsxr motor in a go kart. 115ps, 150kg, drifts like a motherf@$ker!
