What engines fit under the bonnet of a k11 and with what mods. This has probably been posted several times but there seems to be no sign of a similar post in this section.
I i've always wanted to put a bike engine in a micra, it can be done. the average 1ltr ( 1000cc ) super bikes have twice the bhp as a 1ltr micra and plenty of torque, possibly good for 170mph too,
I've seen a car with two hyabusa engins in it, it had 300 bhp, thats just greedy
I don't even think Dave Bull's micra could do 170mph and that has 390bhp on high boost. (Crazy Micra- I used to work in Dastek when it was dynod)
I doubt it has been sped up.That videos speeded up, look how fast the lorrie is going when micra enters the motorway and the camra work is realy jumpy (like it dose when you press fast farward) then it plays normally going under the bridge (or has good brakes) !!! fwn

Kenneth Law. He is on the same course as myself at Heriot Watt uni. He has a silver mk2 golf that he is rebuilding and hoping to take the record. It won't have as much power as your car but it has been known to get better traction of the line. I think he is a friend of yours but I'm not sure.
Question:
What part of Scotland are you from? I am from Dunfermline
Have you terrorised any ricers or evos with the car?
If you are focussing the car for 1/4miles, why would you want to widen the power band? This will give you even more wheel spin issues unless a diy traction control system is used. Also, you would have to change your neat front side exit exhaust for a more standard rear exit as this would rock the power curve towards more bottom end rather than top end power. This is why top fuel dragsters have very short exhausts, to limit bottom end power and hence wheelspin off the line.
When I decided to rip my exhaust apart, I installed a DIY side exit, exiting under the nearside rear door. This decreased the length of the std exhaust by over 1.5m and hence top end power was transformed. Being a small engine though I had to use a bit more clutch to get it off the line as there was slightly less low down torque.

I doubt it has been sped up.
Also, having personally done a fair amount of filming inside cars doing upto and over 180mph I can quite categorically say that it's hard to create NON-jumpy camera work whilst being forced into the back of your seat under acceleration!!
Dave, big fan of that wheel/tyre set up!
dave, u beta hope the police dont find that video, nice what 1/4 mile you running?
What are the chances of getting a sr20det running to the rear wheels using the pulsars gearbox and diff etc? You would probably need to chop out a fair chunk from the middle of the car but it would definately solve traction issues!!!
I am in the process of finishing a locost 7 build with a mate. Will probably take it up to crail when it is through its sva but it won't be breaking any records!!! It has the most untunable 1.8 cvh engine in the world and will weigh around 550-600kg wet. About 160bhp/tonne. (Built on the cheap)
Once I finish my 4th year exams, I will set about finishing off the chassis plans for a one off drag/race car. Unfortunately, I cannot disclose any specs or plans as I would not want anybody copying the designs. But if you want hints about design influences read Ian Bamsey's " MP4/4 Mclaren Turbo - A technical Appraisal" and "Forced Induction Performance Tuning" by A Graham Bell. Another hint: It does not include anything from a micra. lol
Cheers
Before I say anything I'd like you to know that I encourage your idea of designing a new car. It's great seeing people thinking outside the box.Please comment.
