I ran upon this and thought it was very interesting. In Episode 1 he used a Predator 212cc engine for the first tests.

all he needs is a turbo and a triple shot of nitrous, and who knows he might get up to 55 mph in under 5 minutes!

still pretty cool

i wonder what the mpg works out to be?


Henry W

In Episode 7 he gets it up to over 50mph. With a modified 212cc Predator engine.

He is putting a 420cc Predator engine in and hopefully get numbers soon.

In Episode 6 he states that the car got 54mpg.

Interesting project.
What he really needs is a 185 Changfa diesel. Like they do in Asia.

Episode 16

Test drive with the 420cc Predator engine.

Fuel mileage was a disappointment.

A waste of time? ??? It depends. We can waste our time with other things. I feel if we learned one or two things, time has not been wasted. I guess you must of enjoyed watching some of the episodes. :)

Tom Reed

I enjoyed watching all the episodes. In fact I watched them while I was supposed to be doing other things.  :'( If I ever decide to put a predator engine in a Honda Insight, those videos will be my go to resource.  ;D
