Didn't BMW sell a one cylinder car at some point in North America?? I believe it was called the Isetta.

 

I did not know that

but on earlier question, yeah, just wondering about what is available today. I mean, I don't mind learning some history, some of those cars I never heard off

 

Yes, they did, and you got the name right. It's actually the car that saved BMW from utter financial ruin after WWII.

And it turns out that I was wrong about the Subaru 360 having the smallest engine... the Isetta was available with a 13 hp, 298cc, 1-cylinder engine.

 

Steve Urkel comes to mind when I see that car...lol

 

I talked to derrick at Corksport and asked is the KL-ZE swap possible in a pro, he said yes but it'll take $7700 to do it. I could have this by the end of the year if I try really hard for it. My question to all of you is, is going from the slow 103hp 1.6L to the 200hp V6 worth $7700? He'll need my car for 3-4 month to re-do the engine mounts and to pretty much squeeze everything in there and to get it to work with no problem.

The reason why I'm seriously considering this is I have 2 friends who did a j-spec prelude engine swap into 2 civic hatches. 100hp to 200hp and man are they fast. They lost their A/C but they don't care. Derrick said I'll still have mine, I can't live wthout A/C. So, what do you guys think?

 

Hell Yeah.

I was going to do it at first, but then I decided that I'd rather get a new car.

But I think its more than worth it. Plus that engine has far more potential than 200hp.

 

That's what I was thinking. I'm probably thinking too far ahead, but is there a turbo kit for it?

 

yeh, I'm pretty postive there is.

 

KL-ZE project in the works!!!

 

My friend had a 2.5l Probe GT. It was a NA beast and getting close to 300hp if not more. A true sleeper because he had no exterior mods done.

 

 

300hp?
OMG!!!!

 

Im pretty sure the crx 1.6 si had like 98 HP

 

108 hp, which doesn't sound like a lot until you consider that it's installed in a car that weighs less than 2100 lbs with the spare tire and jack removed. I used to own a 91 Si, and in legal SCCA D-Stock trim (2" cat-back, K&N drop-in flat panel filter, no other engine mods) it ran a best 1/4 mile time of 15.81 seconds @ 87.3 mph, which is good enough to spank any stock Protege that doesn't say "Mazdaspeed" on the trunklid.

 

not to mention a stock cumstain GT
