Vf1000 was a v quick and powerful bike, even with the extra weightf it,s not making enough power it isn,t running correctly. When you properly raised the revs you could hear it find the sweet spot, now you need to move the sweetspot where you want it by jetting/airbox/ and possibly exhaust. Once you lose the factory set up it becomes a tedious job to regain smooth running. Well done with your projects you are very skilled .

Love the fab work you do ! Your creativity and talent is pretty amazing ! You could use a front wheel drive engine and trans from an import or domestic. Usually can get a wrecked, insurance auction. Low mile, roll over, rear impact, running damage car, for pretty reasonable. Running the stock gear box from the donor car is reliable and probably strong enough to handle the horsepower from the factory power plant. Take a Honda Civic SI , the gear box is made to handle for warranty reasons, and can be 200hp? Ford eco boost, GM ecotec power plants are good options, and if you get the whole car you can grab everything! Usually from the center of the hub to the front of the engine ( forward towards bumper ) is only 18 inches. You have more than enough room in your buggy. You could play with tire size to get a lower gear, or run it into a chain drive pushing the engine forward. Food for thought. I admire the can do attitude I get from you and the willingness to try everything even if it fails. It is truly courageous and I enjoy being entertained by your channel ! Proud of you !!!

Been waiting for this video for a minute! Edit: Car engine the junkyard is your oyster. Transmission wise, I'd HIGHLY recommend a VW bug transaxle from the old air cooled engine, 1969 to 1977. You can get several different adapters. If I had to recommend an engine, I'd suggest a Geo Metro 1.0L 3 cylinder with throttle body fuel injection. Its essentially a glorified carburetor, but with fuel injectors. Stupid simple to use.

As soon as he said car engine swap I thought the same thing about the geo metro engine super simple and would probably fit pretty easy And just to put my 2 cents in I would use something front wheel drive so the engine and trans are compact and you wouldn't have to modify to much A k20 honda engine with a turbo would be sick to see in there and would probably make it wheelie, lots of torque and power But thats just my opinion your builds are awesome and and even if you just left it like it is its the coolest built buggy on KZfaq

Hi, love the video's love the content. Not something to do easily in the Netherlands. As you stated at the end. The engine swap. As a car enthusiast I would recommend a Honda 4 cilinder. There are a lot of them. Lots of parts and not to expensive. Also a big number of people who could help you. Plus a 1.6 or 2 liter would probably be enough. But since you're in the US a 2.4 K-series could also do the trick. Another one to maybe keep in mind is the Ford 2.5 liter 4 cilinder. If you take a front wheel drive then you have everything already in the package. Just make sure your wiring is a ok. You could then (if you wanted) make a chain driven wheel after the dif. So the output to keep the driveline parts you have now in the same place and keep your suspension travel the same. Otherwise this might change a bit. But enough of my rambling, keep up the good work and greetings from across the pond 🇱🇺

Work out the issues with the VF 1000 and then add boost. Use one of those superchargers like RBG. Maybe EFI as well. Either way, i`m sure whatever u decide to do will be cool.

Black smoke that dissipates in seconds is too much fuel. Grey smoke that lingers is oil burning. The ticking noise on street bikes means the exhaust is rapidly cooling or heating up. Check your valve adjustments and get your carburetors synced so each cylinder gets the proper fuel mix proportionate to the other cylinders. The horsepower to weight ratio will always be greater with motorcycle and power sport equipment than with a stock car (or truck) motor. I would look for a big Honda Goldwing that is shaft drive with reverse. You can find older ones that still run great for very little money. Great video and thanks for all you do.

I know that is a 8 months video but I may help with few things. First, excuse my english. Get a electronichal thermometre (that thing looking like pistol) to determine wich cylinder isn't working. Just measere the exhaust pile next to cylinder head. After working at carburetors you need to sincronize them and after that you need to ajust the mixture. You will find the values in the repairing manual. That ticking noise is just an exhaust pipe, don't worry about it.

The problem is ethanol fuels. Ethanol attracts moisture, especially when left sitting for long periods of time. I had the same problem with my XJ. I only fill the tank once a month. Since I've switched to non ethanol fuel, the problem has been resolving itself. If I could easily drain the tank, I could clear it up right away, but XJ tanks have no drain plugs. Drain your fuel and switch to non ethanol and I think your problem will be solved. Hope this helps. God bless, stay well.

First, the ticking noises are from the exhaust pipes cooling down. Second, you need to balance the carbs properly to get the best out of them.

As for what transmission to use, you may want first to decide whether it would be transversely mounted or longitudinaly mounted. Longitudinally mounted? I suggest a trans one out of a porsche 914 or a VW beetle trans, depending if you want it mid or rear engine. As for engine choice in the longitudinally mounted option, there are plenty of adapters for theses transmissions with a variety of engines that can be used. From the Original VW/Porsche engine to small 4 cyls can be adapted. Transversly mounted? I think is the easiest route due to the limited size of the engine bay. A small 4 cyl and trans out of a Focus, Fiesta or even a chevy small engine are easy enough to find and work on but you could go JDM as well. Good luck and look forward to your next video. Stay safe!

cool tip to know if the cylinder is firing is to drill a cap of a bottle of water and squirt in each header, if it's steams is firing if is not, them it's not

The ticking is just the exaust pipes expanding and contracting also don't be afraid to slip the clutch its a wet clutch and can be slipped all day long. I would put a twin turbo hyabusa chain drive to an old ford 3 speed 3 on the tree just make new linkages and use the stick conversion.

When the engine is running use a squirt bottle with water and spray each exhaust pipe individually as close to the cylinder head, then you will see how hot each pipe is. Obviously if the pipe is cold the water won’t steam up on it and that’s your dead cylinder. Buggy looks awesome. Like the side panels , gives a more finished look .

You can add a reverse with no problem add a 2003 ford ranger flywheel to rear sprocket and mount the starter for engagement to rotate the wheel reverse. Add a push button to the steering column to engage.

I know what you need... Toyota MR2... it’s a rear engine, RWD car and there is a TON of aftermarket stuff including turbo’s lots of places are importing them direct from Japan so you can get a low mileage engine complete

The ticking is just metal expanding and contracting as it heats and cools.

Four cylinder turbo engines are for puddle jumpers. Look for a cheap front-wheel drive sedan that has a small, naturally aspirated v6 in it. Much more reliable depending on engine model and you don't have to do anything special to them. Plus you'd have more grunt. Also, instead of letting your rare bike engine blow-up trying selling as a running unit. You might get a good amount for it from the right buyer. :)

Ticking is just heat expansion on the exhaust. My car does the same thing, my bike did it too.

Plug chops should be done under load. Example full throttle highest gear and at end off road switch ignition off. Then check. Or part throttle highest gear for a while. Neutral gear plug chops wont be good enough but it will indicate if anything is way off. That exhaust and air filter is not a problem. To my ears its running a tad lean like all motorcycles come from factory. That jetting kit would help alot!

Honda v tech with a turbo should fit nicely, and you can get these engines for a very reasonable price.

Tip for next time you weld panels on, to make it look more profesh, use a wooden ruler, cut to size, to gap your stitch welds. First thing a potential buyer will see, maybe even comment on, will be those welds, trust me, been there. If you gap your welds and match them (so for example where you have to panels on the same bar) your asking price will be far higher than without doing that.

That sound to me sounds like its the header expanding an shrinking again. Killer vid. Was wondering where this buggy went too. Still seems off tho. Mid range needs tunned.

Get an old D16z6 or something in the D16 family. They're dime a dozen now because no one wants them, but they're all aluminum with sleeves, lighter than a B-series, and take pretty well to forced induction if you get the right ones. They're also easy to get parts for and are incredibly reliable and it'll surely have more torque and useable power than the sportbike engine.
