An a-series engine is about 140 kg.
A b16 Honda engine is about 190kg.
An r1 engine and gearbox is 80kg (I’m not joking)
A 2l Vauxhall engine is 160kg.

You have to take into consideration of gear ratios also.

the r1 is the best suited obviosly other then the a-series.

but even then the 1st gear is still very short

cool that will be dinner sorted then. now for the mini. erm...

i also thought about a hydrogen engine. i know it may sound silly but i really want to get round the petrol prices and save loads of money.plus i want to be the first to have a 0-emission mini! one that is totally green.

yet still have poo loads of power!



Why if trying to save money would you consider this then? dont make sence??
