A new powerplant for the mazda

Hey guys,

My truck started life as a shitty b2600i, then I built a b2200 for it with a weber and pacesetter, now it's on it's secong kia sportage fe3 engine.

I got the kia fe3 dohc standalone fuel management in my b2200 running well. I was planning a turbo. Gas prices are driving me bonkers! I am thinking in a new direction now....EV!

I have two other gas vehicles besides my fe3 b2200, so I am thinking about turning it into an Electric Vehicle. It will be the first EV laying body! lol!

Anyone interested in my kia setup? Any thoughts on my new idea? Am I crazy?>

go for it man have fun finding a ev motor big enough for it

it would be super quite to you can sneek up on peeps at shows and lay it out and scare the hell outta them.

do it minitruckin is all about doing your own thing so spark on and hit me up with that kia set up i might be wanting it for my b2200.

haha that would be badass jim. I figured youd go diesel, but EV would be cool.

And if you would have told me when I was there sunday that you were getting rid of the Kia swap I would have stayed all night to pull it out. LOL.

Looks good, How hard was it to get the 2200 motor in the 2600I, what did you have to change??? Info would be of use since my 2600 crapped out! And that set up you have is wild, how did you come up with the parts list, lots of digging!

There is an electric powered Mazda B2200 around my house here. Just keep in mind that the batteries will cost you a pretty penny!

well I have a motor to go in mine but considering somthing that gets better gas mileage like the mazda does over a v8 or carb'd rotary

sounds sweet

You're crazy man......J/K.

thanks for the input guys. I think it would be a neat conversion. My truck would support an electric powertrain well. Although I do like the KIA POWER! Maybe I'll buy another truck and make it an EV?
