Kawasaki FJ400 13 hp swap
Has anyone here looked into swapping their old 295cc 4 stroke Robin engine for a Kawasaki 13 hp 401cc? Also, will it fit right into a 2006 EZGO TXT without any "big" modifications?

I think for the money it would take I would go BB myself. I am not really impressed all that much with the kaw anyway. Having that big of a jump in hp it should perform better to me.

I thought it was a pretty big improvement from the older 295, 350?

Re: Kawasaki FJ400 13 hp swap
I have personally ridden in a BB installation and it was second to none. Like big red said, the BB forum may be able to help you on the kaw but the BB is a complete bolt in installation. It's easy and the returns are awesome. Whichever way ya go let us know and send some pic's on that build!! Good Luck!!

Re: Kawasaki FJ400 13 hp swap
Hello
Are you sure? The cilinder from a Honda has to point backwart! Cince, as far as i know, a Kawa has the same configuration the clutch is on the same side. Thats the reason a Sub 350 fits on my racekart too.(See avatar) Yust like a GX390 does. Benno |
