Bibbles Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Wow, what a machine I'd love that engine in a 1.0 but no body mods at all and watch people cry at the lights when they get owned haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benutzername Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 The engine is fitted for round about 12.000rpm, but I rev it to 10.800rpm so far on a dyno. But still testing on the road. The gearbox does much trouble during shifting over 9000rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benutzername Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Initial tests with the launch control and legal street setup. Still too much smoke and too hard tires.That's it for this year. In winter, a new and better cylinder head is planned, as well as a different intake manifold.Also, I'm going to build a new exhaust manifold to find the perfect possible engine setup.Then I have to search for a suitable gearbox. The spread from gear to gear is just too big and shifting over 8500rpm is not possible without declutching.

Is there any other crankshaft that can be used?Crazy machine anyway, 165hp/1000cc is very impressive.

malte Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hell yeah, this is the video we have been waiting for! The lupo sounds amazing, with closer gear ratios it would sound just like a 1000cc motorcycle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
