hi prakrit - which college are you representing??? coz what you can do easiest is to approach other colleges who have already made their cars and run em in the last few years, can loan you or sell you the engine...

I remember a 2004 expo when one college had used the bullet 535cc engine for propulsion... ( no way, and dont even think about it, i had a mad a$$ argument with the leader of the pack ).

Your best bet is a 600cc in line 4 cylinder engine from any sports bike, mated to a decent gearbox with tall enough ratios for performance.

Whats the budget like for the drive train, i might be able to make a few calls in delhi.

I have heard from some of my friends that Pudupetty in Chennai is famous for buying used engines. I have never been there but try researching on this place for your project.

@jd666
i'm representing HMRITM,well since teams participate in the said competition year after year it rules out the possibility of getting it from another team.An inline 4 is what am looking for preferably a k6 cbr considering the track layout.
since this is a self funded project am looking for the best price i can get, any help would be deeply appreciated.

@mangloreaviators
i am from delhi.but am sure chennai xbhpians can help in this regard

^^ dint really get your college.. but anyways.. a 06 R6 engine... ill see what i can do.. In terms of drive trains other than from bikes and below 600cc, i doubt there are any options other than to get an engine imported.

Wont your college give you a students permit letter, and you can them import the engine from any country, without paying any duties!!

Also are only 4 strokes allowed.. or are you allowed to smoke the competition using a 500cc V4 two stroke or something!!
