couple of friends of mine are welding together a dune buggy for use with the old d16z6. just a thought. And for those doubters,as there will always be doubters, it's almost finished. Waiting on the wheels and working out a few other fitment issues.

Heck, if you guys are throwing out all your D-series engines after your B-series swaps, I'll take em and put em in my CRX, er, I mean go kart. Anything would be better than my non-running stock D15B2.

Jesse James and his monster garage crew built a go kart using an ls engine and they turbo charged it I think. I think it was built by midgets for midgets. It was pretty cool.

Due to the size i would say no....a motorcycle engine is already bigtime overpower for a go kart. Here's a kick *** vid (old one) of what a bike motor can do in a go kart:
