Tuned and Synch'ed
Just a hair-brained idea floating around my head for quite some time, i have long fantasized about attaching a car engine to a 'Guzzi box. The candidates were an alloytec V6 from a commodore, 6G72 "cyclone" V6 from a magna, & any boxer 4 from a subaru. However, the subaru & mitsubishi engines are too wide & the holden motors are just junk. Then i found the 1.2 litre vvti's from the '05 yaris were only $500. The compact size, high reliability & the right amount of punch make it the perfect choice for a potential swap.
What challenges do i face? I have no engineering experience at all (but that never stopped anyone) & i intend to keep the fork & entire rear end. The plan is to create a new front frame to an extended design of the original. What flywheel & clutch do i use? Which starter motor? Would the resulting machine need an engineering certificate in NSW or VIC? I will not do anything without another bike to ride nor without a full design on paper ready to rock
