Have you seen a literbike engine in the last 10 years?

They are TINY! Water cooled or not.. But getting the power to the wheels reliably would be a total pain in the ass.

I vote a d16 vtec something or other. 125 hp in that car would be a blast.
 
well a d16 is 32in wide 31 if i cut the crank pully on a 1.d down to the alternator only and the engine bay is only 27in wide and there is all so a clearance issue with the back side of the trans where the diffis and the intake manifold and exhaust would all have to be custom no big deal there

this looks like the beginnings of a sweet go-kart. that is, if you decide to swap in something else.

klyph fit a twin cam motor in his.
 
the n600 has the smallest bay of all hondas. a dohc will fit but get ready to cut the hell out of it and possibly tube frame it
 
Clean it up, rebuild the original motor and reinstall it.. install straight pipes.. Paint it with some racing scheme, Mugen crx or something, then stick a big ass antenna out of the rear of it.. Make it look like a giant RC car!
 
funny you say that my friends and i have considered making it a real rc car. I have a friend whos dad is a robotics enginer and you l love to do this it still may happen after i get ir running

i would have to get creative on the alternator and make custom intake and exhaust manifolds no problem there as i have a tig welder at work. I think that this is the way im going to go with this project. but still unsure what you all think a 1.5l with zc pistons and a y8 head runing on AEM
 
expecting what a sohc stufed in it im not totaly sure about it but would like to do it
 
if i use a motorcycle engine what do you propose i do about a front diff as a dont want a spool and how can i run a diff with a chain and still keep the diff lubed so that the spider gears and clutches wont burn up around the block.. Also 1wd is not an option
