What happens when you put a motorcycle engine in a car? Why would you want to do this? How do you do this? Is it as hard as it sounds?
All good questions. All answered here.
REVERSE GEARBOX: I'm getting lots of questions about my reversing gearbox. I got it from Nova transmissions and it is great. I recommend it. Contact them for questions: novaracing.co.uk/
I know that Quaife also makes a reversing gearbox, and while I haven't used it, Quaife makes great stuff, so that's another option.
In this video, I go over how I put a CBR1000RR motorcycle engine in my Honda S600. I talk about things to think about when mounting the engine, driveline configurations and considerations, what to do about the exhaust, some different ideas about fueling, and other things to think about like controls and gauges.

Getting used to pulling 11,500rpm on a regular basis on this engine was somewhat unnerving. I sold it to a squadron safety officer on base. I then bought a new S800 coupe. Another fantastic vehicle!

@zzzzzsleeping 4 года назад

The reverse was my problem -- If I will do it over again I will use a chain drive differential and an electric motor for reverse. What my problem on using driveshaft was the joints. Consider there is a one universal joint in the engine output shaft, the 2nd on the front reverse joint, the 3rd at the back of the reverse joint, the 4th in the middle of the driveshaft and the 5th on the differential joint. You add the slacks together and you will notice so many things can happen and break and also to clunky.

If using a live rear axle it's worth bearing in mind the effect that axle twist can have on the angle of the prop-shaft UJs. It's usually not a problem without leaf springs and a lot of power but still worth considering.

Here in the UK a sports car manufacturer called Berkeley manufactured fibre glass bodied sportscar with a variety of two and four stroke motorcycle engines in the 1950-60s. One was driven around Goodwood by Sterling Moss and their pioneering fibreglass monoque construction was a whole year ahead of Lotus. They even used the 700cc Royal Enfield Constellation engine complete with electric start. I believe they have recently been resurrected as a company producing modern cars.

Years ago in the UK my father got hold of a 3 wheeled invalid carriage, he stripped the body off & put on i think an isseta front axle & made a kind of big Kart for me to sling round local fields when the crops had been cut. The engine was a 250 Villiers 9e (2 stroke). This had 4 gears forward & if you wanted 4 gears reverse!. I was told, & i was only 9 years old at the time it worked because pushing the ignition key down & turning you reversed the polarity & the engine ran backwards. Never questioned it & never thought any more about it ..until now. Think i need a closer look at the claims.

Most of my engineering is the same as yours but less refined, I am running a solid axle in the rear with pushrod suspension. I am glad you made the comment about driveshaft loops.

I considered a bike engine when uprating my Mini, but I went instead for a Honda B16A2: 1600 DOHC motor from a Civic. While the HP output from a good bike motor is comparable, there is NO comparison when it comes to torque, the stuff that gets you up and away, and out of corners on a race track or hillclimb. Round town I have nil interest in holding 6 to 10 grand all the time, just to get moving and keeping up with the cars I want to keep up with. The Mini weighs 700 kg all up and is a delight to drive at any speed. And the VTEC is a free lunch - a fuel efficient pussy cat down low and a howling beast under provocation when the VTEC kicks in. Sure, it weighs more than a bike motor, but it's a far better solution for round town and on hillclimbs.

Im 6'4" and had plenty of leg room. Though it was easier to roll out of the car because it was so low.

You've never heard of a Morgan......a "Car" with a motorcycle engine, from the early 1900s. They used a J.A.P. engine too ;). Common swaps now is the Hayabusa in a Mini, or Golf, or Anything. Should have restored the Honda, would have been more interesting. I think I'm going to put a Busa in a Moke.

This is well done and well presented, however, as the previous owner of 5 different S600s and S800s over the years, it breaks my heart to see one of these relatively rare old cars chopped about. So, very mixed feelings :(

@OzGecko 4 года назад

@Name Unavailable Can't argue with that. Too many old cars sit neglected for years. Even if not original, this car is being used the way it was intended (and then some!)

Hey, Dominic, long time no see. I've still got mine in pieces in the garage. One day I will.

My Dad had one of these awesome little Honda's. He loved it but said the head gaskets would fail very often. Something to do with the design of the block/ head. They were certainly ahead of their time.

For some years i have this idea constantly. To build a unique car with an motorcycle engine. I don't have the budget or the knowledge yet but i have the plan :))

Fantastic idea, how about a yamaha V-MAX 1200 engine in a mx5 because it already has a shaft drive. GREAT VIDEO.

i always thought it was weird that such a tiny transmission could push around the weight of a car.

@eflanagan1921 2 года назад

Secret is tiny gears spinning fast I think . low weight of vehicle .

I was wondering how to attach the counter sprocket to the driveshaft. Welding a tube on the counter sprocket and a plate on the other end sounds good to me or buy the adapter, I didn't know they were available until I saw this video. Very cool.

@@peted5217 Yeah bros, this thing had the exhaust manifolds upside down and exiting out the fender-well to side-pipes, a 727 automatic and stock year end, which didn't break cuz whenever he touched the gas it just spun both tires off. He cruised by us one night about 30mph and just blipped the gas pedal 2 quick taps to say hello and left black marks about 200 feet long, lol. Hey, by the way, for a laugh, check out my 500hp Firebird I had when I was younger in my 1996 VHS upload "Burnouts and Boobs"!

My first car was a 1972 Honda AZ600 Coupe (Blue). That had a 2-cylinder 600cc air cooled motorcycle engine. Curb weight was 1,260 pounds. I now have a 1972 orange AZ600 that is currently being restored. Fun cars!

Very clear a detailed video, excellent quality. Not the typical stuff I'm used to watching, like "how Bubba done yanked his V8 and dropped it into the John Deere mower."
