Default Honda Beat..

I was just wondering.. could be an interesting little project but how fast could you make a Beat go? I assume it is already turbo'd seeing it is only 660cc?

Just check out the interior

He says it is mint but it looks a bit tired IYAM. I would love to buy that and restore it to it's former beauty..

NA mate, and not a lot to play with on the tuning front.

I know of someone that is trying to show horn a H22 from an Accord Type R into one.
Personally I think a K20 would be the way to go, but hey you pay your money.....

The H is a big & bulky engine & would really upset the car, I would guess.

B16 max, I'd have thought.

It'd be far easier to buy an NSX.

That's what I would have thought, I think the K20 (being ally etc) is the same weight if not possibly lighter than a B16 with it's heavy crank hence why I would go that route.

Plus the newest B16 you can get is going to be 10 years old now.

The money is in the conversion, not really in the engine.
Rear end shunted CTR's can be had for less than
