Doing some math, many of those stationary engines within this displacement range would underperform some 125 to 150cc motorcycle engines coupled to a reduction gear in order to match the RPM input to a transmission. Well, what about experiencing a turbo into the 420cc engine?
Right now I'm committed to using the 212cc and the 420cc engines because how ridiculous the concept is. Its for youtube channel building and gaining viewers.

Once I finish with the stationary engines then it will be on to other engines.

I do have a lot of experience with Megasquirt and engine tuning so I'm also toying with the idea of fuel injecting the 420.
