Yes, more please.

Using NOS is cheating.

at half that displacement, certifiable mental Colin Furze put a CBR engine in a tuk-tuk 🔊

Furze does fun stuff, go watch if you have not

I had a CBR 600, it was not as much fun as that thing.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
it was probably less of a deathtrap too

That's pretty sweet, but no reverse gear (not that they need it).
pdarkfred
There are kits and adapters to throw one in (if it makes sense or sees street duty, not really necessary for track toys).
FleaTron
No reverse needed, just drift yourself around. 0 turn radius!

And with stock tires costs $12 a piece that isn't even that expensive.

I mean, that's still only 1.2L. You could throw a larger displacement engine with forced induction and it would be a lot faster. You could also reverse that way, too.

That thing has almost the same power-to-weight ratio as a 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S. Top speed is going to be somewhere close to 150mph with a 0-60 around 3.5 seconds, as is.
Sure, you could put an AGT1500 in there with enough modification, but why, when the 12R gets you this?

Bike engines in small/light cars (or truck in this case) are all about the power to weight ratio - thats the reason bikes have can beat anyone at a set of lights. The problem with putting a larger car engine in is that you gain weight and loose the fun of having the bike engine.
NovemberAlphaMikeEcho
The power-to-weight ratio is already in a good spot by the size of the truck itself. Enthusiasts often put car engines in motorcycles because larger displacement = more power. Those bikes go faster than lighter bikes with smaller displacement, because minimizing weight isn't as efficient as maximizing power. There's far more diminishing returns with weight reduction than there is with engine displacement.
Spalooga
yeah right but aren't you trading off the high RPM for torque (which isn't needed)?
