Repowering the SUPERCOX for some Country Club Chaos with

Today on The Skid Factory We're Repowering the SUPER COX with a Yamaha 450CC Single Cylinder Engine in preparation for this years ‪@supercheapautotv‬ Best Performing Oil's Campaign!
SET A REMINDER TO WATCH THE NEW COMMERCIAL TOMORROW!
• Country Club Chaos - 5...
The big twin cylinder Kohler engine was great in theory but we weren't unable to get the power to the ground even after multiple clutches and a belt drive system. A wet motorbike clutch is the ideal solution and to get that we need a bike engine to go with it. Fortunately Woody had the old WR stashed at a mates house so we recovered it and got stuck in.

Ducati testrastretta 1198cc engine from a Diavel or multistrada. Some of the amazing reasons to do so would be the engine note once you build an exhaust that works, a great heads up display to use as a dashboard for that bad boy, even give you some lap timing, taking it to a Ducati dealer for a service on the desk cables would probably be the funniest thing in the planet to get their reaction. The engine was built to be torquey as hell and who doesn't want over 150hp to the wheels on a lawnmower.

The Super Cox is now the Super Dooper Cox, gonna be a ripper. Fun build to follow for sure. When this project first started having drive transfer troubles, my thoughts were to use an 80's YZ shaftdrive three wheeler as the donor drivetrain. I had a 50cc version way back when but they had 350's and I believe 450's too. Not sure how well it would do because of the preset length but since we're just dreaming anyway lol.

Keep the current power plant, but couple an electric motor to the idler shaft as a 'power adder'. Bonus points for working out the maximum rate the idler would spin at max speed and getting the gearing right. Easy 'roll start' function if the starter kicks out too :)

Weber (Textron) 750 Turbo MPE! Compact engine designed for multiple applications. Found in Snowmobiles (Polaris Dragon IQ), a number of PWC, and some other applications. Good german design. Stock power out of a 750 HO of 120HP. Good tuners/kits were putting out 200HP, and at least one mad-man in Utah put out a 880cc kit that put out 350HP.

I've got a Triumph TT600 (4 cylinder) sitting in my shed. It was my favourite bike until 2 cars tag teamed at a stop sign. Just as I was congratulating myself for being observant and avoiding the first one, the second car decided as the first bloke missed me he'd have a go. But any way, I had plans to get it back on the road, but y'know how things go. I reckon an early 2000's 600cc four cylinder Supersports fuel injected motor out of this, or something like this would be the go, you could probably put a Haltech on it and get near 100HP on the dyno out of it. Everyone needs a 200km/hr mower.

It eliminates the need for all the chains and sprockets, but you would need some kind of rear diff to adapt the drive shaft to the rear wheels. Also it's air cooled so less parts to mount and it will sound nice with two straight pipes on the sides. Maybe lean the idle mixture a bit for some pops on decel

The one I think would work is the guts of a Raptor 700R. They're not cheap but there are mad little turbo kits you can get for them. The one I'd want to work is a carby Mazda 12A mated to a snow mobile CVT but it'd be pushing the package space more than a little.
