Looking for a half decent 71cc engine

Yep.... trying to talk my wife into becoming sole owner of it.

Is between 60 and 70bhp a good benchmark for a 71cc

????

Weight ratio bud 1/5th per ton
Haha I take it you all go by ton haha ????

 

[Seandonato73]

Unrealistic but sure go for it.

 

[Maxportinguk]

This is why I ask the question.. ?
So I see all these homemade dyno's on YouTube yet not one is a true read out..
Basically artificial runs with bs readouts..
So what is the realistic bhp 1/5 to weight ratio. Confused dot com

lol thats impossible. there is no 71 in the world that makes that

 

[Maxportinguk]

Well are you completely sure there is no 71cc 2 stroke that make 60+ haha ??? I can assure close to 100bhp is possible ????

 

[Z.hb71]

whatever you say bud. ill believe it if i see it

 

[Maxportinguk]

Dude read it properly ??? 1/5 dyno correct running results for a 1/5 engine. Something that weights less than 25kg being measured from the wheels can not be measured per ton wtf ?

are we talking about the same thing? im talking about a normal hp number right off the wheels or crank. are you talking about something with power to weight ratio????? there is no 71cc that makes that much power, hell just 30hp is hard at that displacement. and its not like our drivetrains can handle any more then that. you go ahead an give it your all , and id love a cheaper 71cc with 60hp , im just doubtful is all. not trying to come off as a peepee. and post many many pictures of the process.

 

[Maxportinguk]

Yes bud weight ratio I can't see how any reading can be general hp from the wheels. So scale is the only way to measure surely. So 60hp weight bud . If it's measured from the crank or adaptor flywheel then 100% yes genuine bhp off the engine solo but again there would be no load involved so extremely difficult to measure true. ?

 

[Z.hb71]

so then using that method the hp would be more because there's less weight (better hp to wieght ratio) then right?

The rx8 has had most issues resolved and has been making good power for years, the rx7 is just easier, and cheaper to do.

fugly as fek through??....

 

[Seandonato73]

fugly as fek through??....

The rx7 yeah ugly as sin.

 

[Z.hb71]

I love the rx7, rx8 looks like complete poop.

u wishing ??
...or haven't i read it properly ?..again ...

No it looks like a space ship.... the rx7 looks like a wedge of cheese

 

[Z.hb71]

Nah rx8 is hidious. Stock rx7 isn't impressive either but with a few mods they look so much better, a modded rx8 still looks like poop no matter what you put on it, imo of course

 

[Seandonato73]

To each their own but goddamn you have bad taste ??? rx8 is hidious. Stock rx7 isn't impressive either but with a few mods they look so much better, a modded rx8 still looks like poop no matter what you put on it, imo of course

Wasnt my choice of cars, sister in law needed a cosigner for the loan. It's a turd, being automatic. But it is a fun car to drive. She wont give me a price to buy her out of it, and cant be bothered to get my name off the title, so I'm perpetually a co owner of an rx8.
