mikuni Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 selling crap on trademe now to get engine moneys. so yea engine ideas, cos yea.. cant be bothered with that engine. i know they rev hard, but yea... effort. instead rather put that effort into something that will get easier results lol Out at Kihikihi there is an Imp with the engine still in it. Looks pretty good and seriously, it will be very difficult to get something else in there. They seem to use a mega slant inline four so I would guess you could only put a rotary, bike or flat engine in, in place of it. Me and Mike saw the motor and it looked like everything was on it but he may remember more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 possibly go subaru boxter stz but hurd they arent very good engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Awesome stuff! You must've been working flat tack on it.. Cheers,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 They are alright engines. Nothing special but it would be extremely difficult to squeze such a wide engine in there somehow. I was thinking more VW stz as they seem to be abit smaller. Wouldn't be a very cool change though. I reckon just getting a standard engine in there and running would be the way at this stage.

mikuni Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 ^ oh hell yeahs. In the long run for sure! But if she is weighing up a cheap engine replacement to get it on the road should fully just stick with the original for now. Will be the only one that will be running any time soon I'd imagine.

rot808 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 for sure man, original engine etc to get it going, sorted out etc. then one day pow awesomeness by way of rotary ( or some crazy 2 stroke bike engine ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sexychevette Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 for sure man, original engine etc to get it going, sorted out etc. then one day pow awesomeness by way of rotary ( or some crazy 2 stroke bike engine ) bro putting a rotary in that ting would be almost impossible. unless you hardcore mutilated the thing and had the engine siting in the back seat area... go get a ruthless toothless ,oldschool, Johnson two stroke outboard motor and wack that in. that would be pretty impressive. i think that its important that you put an awesome engine of some sort into the car. edit: awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNTD Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 i think that its important that you put an awesome engine of some sort into the car.edit: awesome THats the plan something fucking aws and different! i see what you all mean bout just getting the original engine in there, but theres no point in trying to rebuild the one iv got with it, but if i see a cheap motor around its a possiblity. Multiple people have said they rev to like 10k. hmmmm My hunters the one staying in original style, this car is for me to tooto with and mash shit etc... making friends with welder etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 They rev to 10g with work. Def not standard. Old as fire pump cam for teh 15k. Have a look into it, prob wont get one now. Alfa boxter engine perhaps? Richie may have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTD Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 yea i realise not standard. its a case of either spending a grand or what ever on the standard engine or a grand on a engine that has more potential.

CaMpylobacter Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 alfa boxers are very hard to get engine parts for now. pretty much unobtainio or some shit ej20 sub engine? 4k? grnadfather's trike has an imp rear end with 4k twin carb badness. dunno about adaptor etc but yuh.
