wow

 

i wonder where that engine's power band is at?
haltech ecu
sick

 

very neat approach. wonder what type of trans

 

maybe x-trac.
I'm curious also

 

damn that thing is pretty sick pretty interested to know what trans you are using as well.

we built a B20 Vtec turbo 2 seater sandrail right now . trans we are using is a VW bus trans with kennedy adapter plate, Accel DFI for engine management. t3/t4 setup.

 

Nice. Wished that was my DD. haha

 

It uses a Mendeola 2D transaxles....

"Mendeola Transaxles sells more MD4-2D units than any other model, affectionately known by trans builders and duners alike as the ‘2D.’ The 2D is the most used aftermarket transaxle in the recreation vehicle market. Almost every sand buggy and off-road chassis manufacturer has the 2D available on their line as standard equipment or an option. There are three choices of ring and pinion ratios combined with 17 main shaft sets (1st and 2nd), thirteen 3rd gears and twenty 4th gears making this model a ‘Universal Fit.’"

Yeah the Mendeolas are great trans... just VERY heavy on your wallet!!!!!!!!

 

Didnt think HT would be interested in race buggies w/ honda motors.... but since you guys seem to be... here's a few more that are powered by B16a motors















b16a are pretty popular w/ class 10 buggies because the class limits engine displacement to 1600cc, orginally intended for 1600cc vw motors...

 

I keep bugging my dad to build another sand rail with a honda motor in it. We have a VW powered one right now,

Do you know where to get the Honda motor to VW tranny conversion plate?

 

i know kennedy does....

ya the CORR buggies are sick. We've built several B16 race engines for a similar class.

unique..... but i would like some info on the motor.... are there rules as to why they are using just 1 carb?

that carb is killing power working alone....

also i would assume its on vtec killer cams since you cant tune for the high/low cam with carbs.....

i am asking more about the motor.... i wanna know what size carb that is 40/45/50/55?? i know its a weber that much i can tell in the pic....
but the flow with just 1 is hurting power in the upper revs

</TD></TR></TABLE> Who cares? If everyone has the same size carb and chokes, THAT be the rules. Takes a little more work than just buying parts off E-bay, but much more satisfying.

and what does buying anything off ebay have to do with this?

 

The rules require 1 twin barrel carb and certain choke sizes, plus a max displacement.

then that answers my question as to why he was only running 1 carb....

 

Miss understood your question. Different pats of the country have different choke sizes in the rules, IE the amount of air allowed in the engine.

 

ok i understand now why he was only running 1 carb.... too bad a lot of power would have been had with a pair...

still wanna know if they are running killer cams and if not how are they compensate for the secondary lobe...

 

What ever happen to XXXXXXX sand rail that he posted on here. It was running on methanol if I remember correctly, didn't the transmission break the first time out? I can't remember his damn name.......
