True, sorry brain fart :oops:

Oh ok so youre more or less making it so the exhaust gases are spooling the turbo?

Why are you running an emissions pump?

Can I have some pics of you guys setups? I think I will go hydraulic I just need some ideas on how to mount the brake caliper and how to adapt the lever into a pedal.

I have knock off comet brake caliper with 8 inch disc. Its mounted on the live axle. Its affective but it really doesnt stop the go kart that great. My go kart is in no way fast but its not slow. Fastest Ive gotten it so far is 51.3(i used a gps lol)mph. Minus buying a hydraulic brake setup...

Whats bobs? Im Super Devil on HPJ how much of difference can you tell with the head?

1992suburban are you on another forum called horsepowerjunkies? Hmm I figured it wouldnt do much. Ive been weighing either getting all the machine work on my head for bigger valves, porting, cut for 11:1 compression(just running 93 octane), or just buying another head so if something happens to...

I have a 6.5 clone with the usual mods(exhaust, springs, filter)and im wondering how much of a difference porting the head will make? I know with larger engines(i play with ford 5.0s as well:auto:)it makes a big difference but im kinda new to the single cylinder world of performance. Im...

I had the exact same problem. I called Hilliard and talked to them, probably the best customer service Ive ever dealt with. Steve told me that a Inferno line clutch was in the mail so UPGRADE lol. Took all of 15 minutes and was totally painless.

Looking at my options on my new kart and when I was on Comets website they were saying the TAV units were only good to 3300rpms. What would happen if i used my gx200 which is good till 5500rpms?

The stage 1 motor from NR has exhaust, air filter, 18lb valve springs, full removal of governor, advanced timing, and rejetted carb. According to them itll give you 8.5hp. Thats a great starting point, especially if thisll be your first beefy go kart build. What kinda gearing setup did you...

I think its cuz the jackshaft bracket thing isnt bolted down. Is their a particular sled engine you recommend....you know one that wouldnt kill me in 5 min in a firey ball of glory?

Id love to get a hold of a Dingo. Seriously nice build though

Picking this up tomorrow. Only $180. Problem is it needs a rebuild kit for the carb....so a $12 problem lol. I dont know much about the motor other than that but if anything Ill see if i can rig the clone to it.

Once you remove the governor those clones are pretty quick. http://www.nr-racing.com/ has alot of stuff for those motors too and theyre a good company to deal with.

I have a similar pipe on my GX200 clone and yeah it just bolts on no problem.

Yeah they about 16" tall. This is the first time ive driven a live axle go kart and I have a question. Its kinda hard to turn from a dead stop would wider tires in the front help this or is this something ill just have to sacrifice since I have a live axle now?

What do you mean front sprocket? The sprocket on the axle or clutch? More teeth=More torque. So a 50t will give you more speed but less torque while a 70t will give you more tq but less speed. http://smartkartparts.com/Speed_Calculator.html

Well today i loosened up the chain, properly lubricated the chain and the clutch and put trailer rims on it just for ****s and giggles, they were 4.80x8. No smoke or anything :wai: I have my torque back thats for sure. at 3/4 throttle i was hittin 35 and i was still gaining speed but then i ran...

My rims are 7" wide. I dont mind the short tires its just I like the mean stance that the bigger tires give. Plus im going to be driving around on the street and my yard so I dont want just straight up slicks.
