I just recently acquired a pair of 1970 N600's.. One is really solid and I want to restore it and do some sort of swap. Nothing crazy but I want something more modern. I am thinking a D16z6 would be nice...

I'm looking for some sort of info or a build thread for some reference info..

Any info would be appreciated.

By the way I have seen the mid-engine, RWD, turbo d16 build of one but idk if I want to go that extreme.. looking for a different build thread or info..

Bump...

 

Take a look at your engine bay again. Its tiny. Keep it motorcycle powered and go fuel injected Honda 600RR or 1000RR.

 

A friend of mine lives in socal and said hes seen an N600 in his area w/sohc. He didnt get a chance to talk to the owner but he said he could confirm its sohc. I would have to agree w/jdmda7 keep it simple motorcycle engine would be best.

 

Im looking at a Briggs and Stratton vanguard turbo diesal

 

Whatever you decide, I'm subscribing to this thread. It should be awesome.

 

I became friends with a guy that installed a D16a6 engine in the back of his N600, then he added a turbo!! I did the tuning work on the little car, and consulted him with Honda info, have yet to drive it but its pretty sick!


Here's a link to his build up of the car, he entered the car in the 2011 Grass challenge :

That thing is siiiiiiick!

 

O_O

Sheer awesome.

 

I've spoken to Brian G at Hasport and we're working on my '72 Z600 with a K24. To make it fit up front, an engine subframe/carraige is necessary. They've had firsthand experience with it, and believe it or not, it fits!!!

I demand pic's now!! that sounds pretty sweet!

 

looks like same car on JNC http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/foru...hp?f=3&t=16371

 

i know this is an old thread, but has aybody else swapped anyhing else besides a motorcycle motor? only prolem i forsee is reverse gear...

i have a 1970 n600 and am exploring my options.

 

I have seen people use a starter motor that will engage a sprocket for reverse on motorcycle swaps, so reverse is possible, its just electric!

 

^ Clever!

 

ya after some research i found that and it kind of eased my mind. not many examples out there tho. do you know of any build threads? im thinking of going 1000rr mtor, i need to measure though.

 

Do you have a lil more info about that swap

 

there is no info anywhere. every swap is going to be a 1 off custom job.
