Noobie here Elite E to Elite 80 swap?
Posted: Tue Aug 24, 2010 4:34 pm
I just got an '89 Elite E amd then I found this site. I wish it had been the other way around because I would have gotten a '94 or newer Elite with a DIO engine. I have learned alot from this site about scoots. I like my E and plan to mod it for now but i plan get a DIO engine ride later. My scoot is in good condition and the last owner had it 13 years. I live in Jenison, MI not far from Grand Haven, MI where there is a member to this site lives. He's the guy the mechines the engines for BBK. I'm a certified autobody man and a good mechanic so I can handle any work needed on my scoot.
Now on to my subject. My E will do 34mph with no mods but I would like to see about 50. I like the idea of factory honda parts reliability with a few both on performance parts like a intake and a muffler. I would like to do a elite 80 drivetrain swap if possible. Am I crazy to want to do this swap? Has anyone tryed this swap? What is involved in this swap? What parts are needed? I plan to get a complete running 80 to do the swap. Please help.
For now I would like to get a complete exhaust upgrade and a K&N filter for my E. Where do I order them? What are the best web sites? I see Taz has good parts. At least you guys say so. Does he have a wab site? Can you guys direct my to a good tread on these upgrades? Help a noobie out.
