I was wondering whats a good turbo motor that can be put in a mighty boy. I am unsure of the size of the engine bay and the size of most turbo engines.. Also what would be the best to use mighty boy or datsun 1200 ute... thanx

put an SR20 or CA18 in it just modify everything so it fits

yeah...how much would a shop charge to put in a motor and change engine mounts and fit gear box ect...

Id start with a 1200 ute.. come time to sell it a few years down the track - more people will want a 1200 ute.. Here, scroll down and look at the blue ute.. its my lil sisters.. Love it! http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?p=454532 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i thought of actually doing a engine conversion in my lil handi i had. Just to give u a ruff idea of wat would be good and very easy to do would be a say Hyabusa engine or a zx12 motor. just sum ideas

yeah i was thinkin about the dattos but there are acouple going aroung...and i havent seen a mighty boy thats off its head yet.... because i need a spare car to get around in while mine is off road and there is a mighty boy in local paper for $700... and was just thinkin what mods could i do down the track

Go the mighty boy! They are one of that phatest little cars. Take a look at some japanese ones and they all have turbo engines in them. Just do a search in google to find it. Theres a few sites about them...

The orginal engines are very powerful...8-) CAPACITY (litres) 0.543 COMPRESSION RATIO (:1) 9.2 DEVELOPED KILOWATTS: 19.2 @ 6000 TORQUE (Nm): 35 @ 4000

they look awsome... And with a curb weight of 550kg there very light.. if u put in a F6B 1ltr turbo u will be flyin....

chuck a rotary in it. theyre cheap and go ****in hard. a s4 13BT would almost flip the damn thing!

YEAH! rotor it, imagine a hell loud braaap coming from one of those tiny things!!!

What is the right name for a small but good rotor engine because i just wanna do some searchin on them, because i dont know much about them....... thanx

Why don't you just build a clubman? Much better chassis. Enough said

rotary: 10a 12a 12a turbo 13b 13b turbo 20b (triple rotor) 20b turbo 26b (quad rotor) lemans engine

chuck a 13b turbo in it, it'd be nuts

there is of course the issue of gearbox and the fact that they are front-wheel drive..... anything you put in there is going to need serious massaging to get it to fit. oh and btw no matter how fast a mighty boy goes, it's still one of the gayest cars on the street.

Dude throw a charade 900cc 3 cylinder ( I think) turbo motor on it, from the early charades cant remember what year....mate of mine put one into a off road kit car he made - this thing was insane, looked like those old super hornet RC cars, and i was off its nut!!! if you drove it on a sealed surface and floored it it would flip onto its roof!!!

or a import engine from a nissan micra... think there around 1lt and are twin charged...
