How fast can a Dio motor make a Elite or Spree go?

I'd estimate $1k for a budget build, for 80+mph out of dio in spree frame. Availability depends on who you know and who you can trust, as far parts..seacook wrote:No way! Get out! My 84 Spree that I am happy when I see it reach 34 mph having the capability of reaching 100?
Allright, if it can be done, how about a parts list, cost and availability?
Top speed is a reflection of horsepower. If you have the horsepower to pull bigger gears then you will go faster with those gears. If your motor is against it's max rev limit (not rev limiter but a 2 stroke has a rev limit determined by how much air it can pump and even unloaded you can't rev past it) but you don't have the horsepower to go faster and put in bigger gears then you go slower.jstone wrote:Doesn't it all depend on gearing? You would think in theory you could make one go well over 100 mph. The only thing would be how fast it gets there. I'm sure that there is a limit on how small you could go with gears, so the real question is how fast could a dio motor go with X gears in it. Then the challenge would be to produce a motor with the highest possible RPMS.
Yeah i was gunna say something like that. Just cuz the gears may allow x mph doesn't mean any engine can attain that mph.Bear45-70 wrote:Top speed is a reflection of horsepower.
