Thats cool.  I haven't seen that one before.

 

For what its worth, these guys install one building a motorcycle powered 4x4 "power wheels" kart.  And they hook it a 100hp engine.

This is linked to where he explains the "chaincase" function, then in the further videos, you can see how they integrate and use it.

Just trying to provide useful info, not instruct you two on how to do your build.

I will check that out.  Useful information is almost always accepted.

Merciless Mings (an [some say the] authority on these particular cars) posted on his instant grams about a particular car he just rebuilt/fixed/tuned/something or other.  He commented on how much fun it was to drive.  The vidja of a Z-600 following this particular N-600 out of his shop's driveway onto the main street looked spirited and spritely enough, and it sounds pretty awesome.  I'm back to wondering if a rebuilt stock donk would be quick enough to be "quick enough."

 

Of course, a bike motor would Yasiin Bey be "quick enough" and could sound like an F1 car... and would probably come out cheaper.

And the e-mail I just got from John containing the words, "FYI the 2003-2006 CBR600RR has 107hp at 13,500rpm and 48tq at 10,000rpm." has me convinced to go this route... today.

The "at 13,500rpm" is an instant attention getter....

I think this video puts to rest, for me at least, any thoughts of doing an electric conversion.  I watched it yesterday and my brain still hurts from all the stuff involved.

 

 

 

And batteries still suck.

I wonder.

 

Is he wearing orange gloves because he is handling high voltage battery packs?

Yes and no.  He does don a set of electrically rated gloves for this video but I believe the orange mechanic gloves are one of his "trademark things."  He goes into detail about his choice of gloves, and how he had the orange ones made special for him, in a different video.  Toby Honest, I never even noticed he wore orange gloves until he talked about them in that other (marketing his line of stuff) video.

Living close to a section of freeway that is, apparently, a popular hooning spot, I'm always hearing sport bikes wringing the piss out of their donks, making that lovely "Formula One" sound.  And every time I think, "My N600 NEEDS to sound like that!"  

 

Of course, when some hoon with a V8 does the same thing, it makes me glad I have a Dajiban to make THOSE noises!

Just saw an N600 for sale on Facespace Market: HERE

 

Wasn't sure if you might want to pick it up for parts...

 

 

Yikes!  I need to check this thread more often!  I'll look into that, thanks

Well, to quote the Outrageous French knight...

 

 

I have a tactical-attack-buyer "negotiating" with the seller to get the best price for the thing.  We'll see what happens.

Just because,  have you twigged on a Honda Outboard motor? up to 250hp.

4 cyl (75/90/100/115/140/150hp), DOHC, EFI, water cooled...

V6 (200/225/250hp)

 

Ya OK like only 6500RPM but damn unique and already shaft drive outta the bottom...

 

I bet you cound find one with a F'd up bottom end someone would give/sell cheap...

 

Hell you can buy outboards now to 600hp... Hmmmmm an N600 with 600Hp. Crazy!

I think the main issue is they are intended to mount vertically? I would think the oiling system would need to be completely rejiggered?

I would also imagine these aren't much different than some of the kei car engines Honda used...

True, and ya the outboard is designed for vertical use, just opening the eyes 👀 hell these days we can put anything in anything. And that's possible staying in house so to speak. The Corolla GR is putting out 300Hp with 1 cyl missing 🙂

I can see it now, the big outboard right behind the seat 😝

Well, I saw a car tonight that would give the N600 a run for it's money in a "Mine's smaller than yours!" competition.

 

An OTAS 820!

So...

Want!

I just did an intergoogle to see what an OTAS was.  Never heard of them before.  Fiat based, with 34 horsepower.  Imported by a Fiat dealer in California, and it was exempt from newly enacted CalSmog laws in 1968. 

 

I generally like oddball stuff, and that one definitely falls into that category!
