Most people fit bike carbs so that the engine can rev until the valves can't shut fast enough. Gives you peak power rather than bottom end torque.

I have a SJ that I am currently rebuilding for solely for off road purposes.I am wanting to do something different with a engine swap & use what I have on hand .my current answer is a Subaru justy 3cylinder 12valve 1200cc EF12 engine.producing 80hp std & the internet says up to 130hp with standard internals.another site said that this engine started its life as a Suzuki & has a common bellhousing fitment with the G13a that was also used in the Subaru justy.has anyone been down this path.another option I had thought about was to leave the cvt transmission on it,& drive to the Suzuki transfer case ,producing a low ratio vehicle with a cvt trans.feedback time on this idea please

The Justy CVT will be a front wheel drive box so it won't work in an SJ. The Justy engine may well be a bigger version of the old 1 litre 3-cyl Suzuki engine, but at 1200cc it sounds like 3/4 of a G16 engine. The biggest problem with a Justy engine is usually the distributor sticking out the end which will foul the bulkhead when used in a North-South configuration.

I understand the distributor issue ,would solve that with a G13 & justy mixed unit as like the G13B.as far as the FWD trans I would weld the spinders & only run from rear out put.so hi transfer box would be low rayio& low transferbox would be super low.if the engine is moved forward becasuse 3cylinder is shorter I think the fwd unit may fit.but it would be nice/different having a cvt in a zuki
