A Honda sports motorcycle, damaged in an accident, with a working 140 hp engine, ended up in the hands of some automotive enthusiasts. With. and a volume of 1130 “cubes”. Why not put it on the regular classic Zhiguli of the fifth model? The power of the gasoline (there is even a diesel option) engine here varies from 59 to 140 hp. s., everything is more or less the same. It will be interesting to know how the low-dynamic VAZ-2105 will behave when under its hood there is a resourceful “Japanese” with a torque of 124 N*m. At the same time, the Zhiguli engine is larger and weighs 150 kg, while the Honda engine weighs 100 kg. The experts from the Garage 54 channel decided to test this in practice.
Let's get started: remove the engine from the motorcycle: in terms of dimensions it is seriously inferior, even with the gearbox, to the VAZ unit. Therefore, putting it in a passenger car is not so easy. But “the eyes are afraid, but the hands are busy”: the engine compartment has been “revised”. And now the Honda engine ends up under the hood of the VAZ-2105. True, there were problems with the transmission, but I had a used Mitsubishi gearbox at hand, which suited the motorcycle engine well. Finally, everything is ready and the exciting moment comes - testing in real conditions. How will a Zhiguli with a sports bike engine drive? Watch the video!
