no takers? im dissapointed. you could get 350+ horse outta one easy with a turbo, good fuel managment, and maybe a little beefing up internaly. wouldnt last forever but you could have some fun with it.
these 500 hp turbo motorcycles you see are the same thing. 4 cyl, 1000 cc w/ hemi head, 25+ psi, and a good fuel managment and ignition to work out lean spots and prevent detonation. if you dont run an engine lean theres not any real reason to melt stuff. the cycles are made of a little better stuff, but just because they red line at 15k rpm. wouldnt need to rev that tho in one of these.
bottom line: 1.6l+good injection+turbo+internal beefing= possibility of big hp
for 2k you could prolly have it working well. less than that if you find something in a junk yard to rob an injection system off of. it wouldnt take much.
i guess i should lead by example tho, i'll see what i can do.
