In a moment of impulsive madness, I bought a 150cc Sachs rotary engine, that has been peripheral-ported and turbocharged, off trademe.
Trademe description:
sachs rotry engine been rebuilt inside and out except for the external load bearing ( prob be about 9$ to get 1 of them easy to install )
this is a high performance machine!!! used to have 8 hp standard since then has had port enlargement ( perefrial port!! gives it the brap at idle) has a racing motorcycle minkuni FLATSLIDE caburetor on it has electronic ignition from a toyota celica ( ignitor coil lead etc ) has everything to put back to standerd cond. also has a $400 FMF motorcross streight through muffler and stailess exhaust piping fresh paint job with polished housing can show running if keen ask me for more pics........
Ihave just finished building a TURBO kit for it using a TCO3( all intake pipeing exhaust pipeing oil lines for turbo oil pump etc and is on it atm runs awsome about 5000 rpm the turbo spools up nicley this thing revs to like 10000 rpm iv run nothing but the best synthetic 2stroke oil at 23 to 1 ratio to prolong its life i am selling the whole lot with it tco3 turbo, carby, intkes, oil pump and lines, fuel pump and lines, will sell with some oil, and show buyer how to start if they want, EVERYTHING HAS TO GO ... NEED SPACE!!!!! and money
awsome for gokart!!!!!-was my intention i mean who has a turbo rotory powerd gokart.....be a first!!!
I am now wondering about the possibility of fitting this in a scooter - the engine is estimated to have around 14HP, and it revs to 10,000 rpm or so.
I have my PGO PMX-50, but i'm not sure on the feasibilty of hacking this engine into it - I wouldn't mind putting it in a vespa.
Unfortunately, I am not much of a mechanic, or a fabricator, so I'm wondering if anyone out there is interested in helping me out with this project - it might be completely infeasible, but it would likely be one-of-a-kind in New Zealand, and would make a big splash at the 4 and rotary nats and drags etc. if it was done up as a show-scooter.
Is it a stupid idea to find an old vespa with a blown engine, gut it and mount the rotary engine with the vespa drivetrain? Or would I be better to use chain drive and a motorbike gearbox?
I'm not sure how i'm going to explain this to my wife, but you only live once I guess.
Any comments, help or other input requested.
Thanks
-Pete
