Anyone ever built a locost 2-stroke?
Would it work?
Would it pass SVA?
WHATS THE BIGGEST/BEST:TUNEABLE 2-STROKE ON THE MARKET?

Just thinking out of the box a bit!!!

the mazda rotory engine can be converted to 2 stroke

no wait they just run 2 stroke oil in with the fuel, ignore that comment in that case.

You'd probably want an old SAAB engine.
Or possibly a snowmobile motor?
Not many big engines out of bikes anymore

RG500 gamma motor but think you might need a mortgage to buy one these days Shame cos a gamma with screaming pipes is the doodahs

Tatra V8 - not 2 stroke afterall

Suzuki GT750

If you want a big two stroke then you could look a jet ski engine, somat like a yamaha gp 1200 with the ypvs power valve system or maybe a kwak zxi 1100. The problem you will have tho is none have a coolant pump and they dont harf burn some oil and fuel. But you can rev the nuts off em.

I asked about this AGES ago, and I was told a snowmobile engine with a torque converter was the way forward!

Here you go http://www.aaenperformance.com/V4_racing_engine.asp

44Kg 200hp and all the bitīs, add gearbox and hi spec pipes.

I was a two-stroke fan in the early sixties and would love to put a straight six, 3 litre, outboard motor in a Locost.
Aah the smell of Cassie-R. Pure nostalgia.

Try a Suzuki DT200 outboard for size.

200 BHP V6 2.7 litre.

how about one of these F1 powerboat outboard 2.5litre V6 upto 400bhp 0-60 3.4sec 140mph+
