I thought I would post some pictures of my project in progress, pilot with rotax 793 Engine with RER, subaru impreza limited slip diff and fiddle/ cutter brakes. I will post more pictures if there is any interest.

Yes their is a interest please post more pics..

More photos.

A rough and very short video of first drive http://www.porkolt.com/personal/honda/v ... 18997.html

Sorry try this http://www.porkolt.com/personal/honda/v ... 18997.html

Link no workie here

Jesus Leegb I saw your progress on mini-buggy. Very nice work =) Seems to haul ass from the video. Hows the speed with the extra weight of the subuaru diff?

holly crap that is freakin insane mate :O . how much power that motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) got? it looks like its got some serious grunt in that video. well done

The link seems a bit hit and miss, Try putting "porkolt honda pilot" in serch Engine google, that worked for me.

There is no extra weight over a standard pilot, I am not using the pilot transmission and the rotax motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) is light, no balance shaft, just the bear minimum. The reverse is very light just a few extra wires a button and maybe a micro chip I do not understand why more people no not use engines with RER.

I am told the Engine has 138 bhp? It feels fast I need the cutter brakes to steer because the front tyres bearly touch the ground under acceleration.

Pull some wicked wheelie donuts man!! lol Have you thought of weighing down the front end?

Or better yet... put some ski's on it!!! LOL a Dune/Snow/Land DuneBuggy!

138 geeez. why bother even having wheels on the front hahaha. wheelie donuts, do a backflip hahaha how does the rverse work?

cheers. josh

how does the rverse work?

There are 2 pickups to tell it when to spark, basically it switches over to the other pick up, the Engine backfires and runs in the opposite direction, The 2 stroke oil pump, water pump and cvt drive are designed to work with this type of Engine. It has a lower rev limit in reverse.

What is the Engine out of?

A buddy of mine had a sled with the reversing Engine worked pretty slick.

The Engine is the same as a ski doo 800 but I bought 2 used engines with carbs CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition)/ecu,s exhausts and everything else to run them, and 2 brand new spare engines, they were used in hovercraft in the James bond film die another day but were taken out of the hovercraft before they were blown up.
I have sold the 2 new engines but still have the second used Engine, If anyone has clutches to fit 02 on ski doo 800 I would be interested.

some pictures of fiddle/ cutter brakes, discs mounted to inner cv cup.

Does anyone have a wireing diagram for an 89 pilot, my manual has the last few pages missing.
Thanks Lee.

Thanks for that Ody-stable, I can try to get it all wired up now.

Has anyone had experiance of wiring a rotax Engine in to a pilot chassis.
I am not sure if I should use the pilot regulator which seems to have 6 wires going to it or use one from a ski doo which has 5 wires, and what to do with the extra wire or terminal, and any other tips for the wiring.

Also I have found that the original pilot throttle lever seems very heavy, probably because I am controlling 2 carbs and an oil pump, the length of the stroke seems fine so I can not alter the ratio. I wondered if I could use a kind of "Fly by wire" kind of set up from another vehicle?

I put a 440 ROTAX rotary in my Pilot but I used a single 38mm carb off a water craft so the throttle is soft and easy as it was stock.

I have heard of guys cutting a few coils off the springs to make it softer but you have to make sure your not putting yourself into a situation where the throttle can stick, I seen a few other sled conversions where they used a foot throttle..

For the regulator I used one made for my stator setup, mine only has 2 wires coming from the charge coil so I used a small 2 wire regulator rectifier at first then later upgraded to a larger one I got from DC that was for a Harkey Davison motorcycle. Info here http://pilotodyssey.com/PO/viewtopic.ph ... =regulator

If you can post a copy of your wiring diagram for the sled our electrical gurus here can probably work out a solution.. Heck you might be able to use the stock Pilot regulator rectifier.

A short video, wet road. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_twG7JYTy0w

I got out on my pilot in mid wales on tuesday, the kid on the bike is my son on his crf 150.
