Doesn't seem very efficient, but it works.

thats pretty good. a mate of mine has a turbo charger on his 5hp honda but he said its tiny, at least half the size of that one, he says its of a racing gokart and gives a bit of power.

ok so the ? is who's going to try it first on here:drool5:

The next engine I'm going to build is going to be a high-horse Briggs 5. If soemone can tell me (or even donate) a turbo for the project...I'll "get 'r' done" and post a step-by-step tutorial for turboing a Briggs. Sounds fun! :devil2:

[kibble]

I was actually thinking of making a supercharger type device. It would attach to the output somehow and should be more efficient because it's driven by the engine directly. Maybe use a few gears to speed up the rotation on the turbine side.

seems alittle too expensive, its far cheaper to buy a used sled engine that has lots of HP already

That turbo is like 5% effective. It lags the whole time so...Theres no boost at all just not enough exaust volume+presure to spin the turbine with enough energy to compress the air. Sure you get a cool sound out of it but that's just about it.

[Pyrotechnic]

Yeah. Read the guys description. "You will never see this anywhere else" and "no Megasquirt crap here."

As pointed out before, that turbo would work well on a motor in the 2.0L range. 0.1L isn't gonna do it. The turbo isn't going to make even 1 pound of boost.

Second of all, the Megasquirt is not junk. I doubt whatever he designed....if he even designed anything...is better than a Megasquirt.

Zero credibility as far I'm concerned.

[kibble]

Well, if you read one of his own comments:

"Yeah if u really thing about it, this hole motor is just a giant paper weight that doesnt do anything. I dump the turbo idea and moved to supercharging instead."

He say's right there that it doesn't do anything.

while wondering through a junkyard, i do remember seeing a tiny car (maybe a suzuki) 3cylinder turbo, the turbo was about the size of a beer can, im sorry i didnt write down the car make and model, those tiny turbos are out there somewhere

This is a mate of a mates car, ive never actually met him or seen the car but its a turbo chraged 3cycle engine.

yeh, and it produces boost off a 3 cyl engine not a single cyl engine so would still be a waste of time, might aswell put the car engine into the gokart, or stripping the panels and making the 500kg rolling chassis you have left a go kart.

theres a reason these engines arnt turbocharged and it was said above. its far better/cheaper to buy a bigger engine then to turbocharge a small one.

Yes, that's true, but doing so gives you bragging rights. :p

[Pyrotechnic]

Did you see the "supercharged" one the same guy built ?

start

pop....pop.pop........pop......dies

restart

pop..pop......pop.....pop...pop..pop....dies

oh yeah, thats some BIG power right there. I'm still calling hoax on this guy.

Now, using a smog pump as a supercharger on a small engines is possible. I have read about several people claiming for it to work. Just on theory, it does seem to hold water.

[d311_5uxor]

wait a minute kibble, you folks actually have bragging rights with something created from a lawn mower engine? i almost sht my pants laughing at that one

[kibble]

Nah, dude. I'm saying that if somebody DOES manage to make something like that, whether it works or not, can say that they actually did it/tried it. How many people can raise their hands and say that they've attached a turbo to a lawnmower engine? I know I can't. You'd be more likely to get a response if the question was: "How many people have crapped their pants?"

[ironman]

:iagree:

[oscaryu1]

Kibble - Look at the Roots Type SuperCharger.

[kibble]

I looked it up, interesting, gives me an idea! :idea2:

Now tell me, have you ever crapped your pants? JK! you don't have to answer that one. :ack2: :arf:

[oscaryu1]

Well actually... *ahem* I mean, eh never :D

I'm gonna try and hook up a nitrous kit to mine :p

[I like karts]

Man, he needs to lean that thing out a lot.

It's rich to the point where it bugs me.

[RedKart]

i believe the small turbo is called an RHb3 turbo. they have them on ebay.
