Hi folks,
I work in Ghana, originally from Scotland and am a huge fan of Indian travel, with many Indian friends. I am considering buying an "auto", probably a Bajaj, and was wondering if anyone has any experience or tips for squeezing a bit more power out of them, or indeed fitting bigger engines? I like your forum by the way!!! Not bothered whether any ideas apply to two stroke/4 stroke or even the diesel ones, as various options are being considered by us for some fun in Ghana!!

You could try plonking on the Bajaj Pulsar 200cc motorcycle motor and go faster. The stock 4s Bajaj auto has a 180cc mill borrowed from its motorcycle engine. If you go for a two stroke, port the head, get a custom expansion chamber, add a free flow filter with suited jetting and you can fly.

That what I was thinking, however I have one question, is the autorickshaw engine water/liquid cooled? I haven't seen any radiators but the question is, how does the engine cools itself.

Thats what I thought, but how do they manage to get enough air in and out to cool it efficiently or are their engine tuned in a way to produce less heat than our motorcycles?
