Lifan kp engine swap

[Dusty56!]

Will the zs190cc engine bolt up to the kp mini without any major modifications ????

Nope, but you could put a 223 CB/CG engine in without a problem.

Don;t do it! Easiest power adder for the Kp Mini:
Reach out to Plug and Play Performance on Facebook. A gentleman in Indonesia runs it and sells Bintang Racing Team parts for the CRF150L.

Ask for:
70mm forged piston
70mm cnc ceramic jug
34/29 brt cnc super head
8k rpm camshaft
34mm intake manifold (also cnc'ed)


That all DHL'ed to the USA runs about $700 and includes everything you need. He pre-installs valves and the rings are pre-gapped. Throw on a Nibbi PWK34 or PWK32 (jetting baselines avail on the KP Mini 150 Riders FB group) and the lifan exhaust (KPR200 or KP Mini 150 exhaust both fit) and BOOM. You are above 20 whp.

THe engine will be strong enough that you need to upgrade clutch plates and springs (2012 CR85 work) which are cheap. Your bike will then put shame to 4-valve ZS212 clones. (Speaking as the owner of a 223cc KP Mini and former owner of a ZS-swapped Hellcat).

There are other engine swaps you can make work, but not without a ton of effort. I am working on a 300CC liquid-cooled 6 speed EFI build in a KP mini, but it is not a small project.
