Nice thread. He's been doing that project for a while now.

So I have the radiator and coolant overflow tank, been looking for a water pump and found this thread: www.scooterinvasion.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3869&sid=29f38634552058564ac4a6ba722381f4

I wonder if I could grab a water pump off of a car at the junk yard? I'm gonna have a search through ebay to see what model cars come with those Bosch pumps. So far I know Mercedes and Audi do, but I've never seen those in the junk yard

EDIT: Looking like VW Beetles, Jettas, Golfs and Passats from 1998 to 2005, at least. Those may be a bit easier to find at the junk yard!

EDIT2: Current parts list from SIP:

Cylinder
Crank
Pipe
Inner Rotor Ignition
Carb + Intake + Air Filter
Reeds

Let me know what you guys think!

I think that would make your hands very full if tuned :jaw:

I think you must have just hit the lotto. Also, I'd probably consider a 94cc Polini Big Evo kit or a 2Fast kit and go all the way. Might as well shoot for HP in the mid 20s at the wheel if you've got that sort of cheddar sitting around getting moldy. lol That Ninja would feel mild after riding a small frame scoot with that kinda power.

I think that MHR kit throws out 26 HP if I'm not mistaken? As for the money part, I'm looking for sponsors. I'm thinking along the lines of... Build it, get it tuned, get everything set up, take it to TnG next year, and everyone who sponsored it ends up with a chance to win it for free. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Read this

Oh I didn't even notice that was a biggun. Sorry, sometimes I read so many threads I miss stuff here and there.

Cool idea for the sponsors/raffle.

Yep, supposedly one of the best kits, aside from the Evo ;D

I have some glossy printable sticker paper, I'm thinking not only could I accept donations and have the names in a raffle, but I could literally have sponsorships too. Anyone who donates could make their own logo's and I could print them out and throw it on the scoot. I've already got Enviromoto stickers from when I bought my pipe and cylinder... Just saying

Here's a few videos to show off the power of that cylinder

Planning on using the short case that I got on this new scooter. I have basically all the tools at my disposal that I need to machine out anything that I need. Between my dad, who's a journeyman machinist and tool & die maker, and my uncle who's a journeyman tool & die maker, I should be able to get anything I need custom CNCed for either nothing, or next to nothing.

Good point. Electrical devices are gonna have to rely on the battery since you wanna go IR ignition. Sounds like a race scoot anyway though.

Yep. It's gonna be specifically for race. It's not street legal anyhow, at least in Wisconsin. I don't have a title for it, so I can't run it on the street. Parking lot tests only! A motorcycle battery should be enough to do runs with it I would think.

[90GTVert]

Should be, just keep it on a Battery Tender when not in use.

[jmkjr72]

yes it should be enough to run just make sure on track days to have the charger with you to recharge the battery between runs

i supose with you being down in the big city you realy do have to play by the rules
