Just wondering if anyone has ever made something out of their old engine after swapping in a new one. Like a D series go kart or something. I tired to search but the search server is temporarily unavailable.

 

ive been thinking about this for years go for it it would be sweet.

 

d-series...that will fly...

 

i was thinking about doing it for a while now too. ill have the engine for it soon also. maybe a winter project.

 

Deffenetly!! Im sure it has crossed everyones minds once or twice

 

was going to do this in hight school when my focus got totaled but the shop teacher wouldnt let me so i went with a little 10hp B&S but i want to do the smog pump super charger on it now


and maybe make a new one with a d15 once we swap my buddys engine

 

im in the process of doing just that... i got a free d-series shortblock, im putting a vtec head on it along with a 60trim t3, uberdata, si tranny. goal is 200whp. go kart should weigh around 800 with me in it. we are doinga full brake setup and all that good crap

Hey wantboost, definitely let us know how it goes. I would love to do something like that

Boosted go kart at 200whp with a turbo d in the back. That thing would fly. But I bet it would stick to the ground awesome too since it sits so low. Keep me updated.

 

im kinda hoping it will wheelstand like a **** :D

some guy in houston stuck somthing on a gocart i think it was a d15

 

i guess it would be best to just get a written off civic, one with none salvageable title then you would have all the suspension, brakes, and wiring you would need.

How about a D-powered dune buggy. I believe that all you would need would be a crx with a d series motor and just strip it down to the frame, fab up a mount system, weld in a seat (w/racing harness) and put the pedal to the floor. I'm positive that there would be more to it but i think that it would be a little bit safer than a go cart. And you could still boost with a FMIC and all. My $.02.
