Im thinking of starting a Honda Beat project. Need some help

[pwuser159576704379]

I want to start a honda beat project. Stock it has a 660 cc engine N/A which is very underpowered.
1. Which engine is a possible swap
2. Will the recommended engine be reliable
3. Should i just turbo charge the 660cc engine
Also what other mods should i consider

You might need to cut half of the car to install a "powerful" engine.

[pwuser159576704379]

Not looking at "powerful" it just has to be enjoyable cause stock its 660 (not turbo) making it unbelievably underpowered. What im thinking of was maybe a 1.0 turbo
Or maybe even a hayabusa engine cause the 660cc engine in the beat is also technically a bike engine.

A hayabusa engine swap has been done abroad. But i doubt ill be able to find one.

I think some 660cc turbo engine out of JDM kei cars will work, you can find them in scrapyards such as Bilal Gunj. Similar car is new Honda S660 Turbo and it's rear wheel drive as well, maybe that engine will work but alterations will be there ofcourse.

Oh yes thank you that is a good idea 🏼. Since it is updated honda beat im guessing it will work well.

[omaruser156370259465]

Yes both are mid-engined with very similar size, S660 came in 6 speed Manual or 7-speed CVT. But you need to get yourself a very skilled mechanic because not much of them have had their hands on a car as rare as a Honda Beat. Alterations will be there and not every alteration works like a charm, such projects depend on workmanship.

Absolutely if anyone can recommend a good mechanic in lahore who is skilled enough to take on such a project kindly share their number.
