88hp go kart

[kazkepox]

hey guys long time no see, so its been a while and i got me a new go kart to play with. It's got an 88hp four cylinder engine from a ford mustang, getting it all to work was pretty easy, she dropped right in.....right form the factory!!!

haha im pretty sure thats a car dude

 

[kazkepox]

naw man its a go kart. well, its just as fun as a go kart lol. but yes, you decoded my message, my project now is a 88' mustang 4cylinder, plans for her are a turbo swap and plenty of exterior mods.

 

[kazkepox]

also, can anyone deduct what my idle problem is? it wants to idle rough soon after acceleration, as if it is skipping.

Carb or injection? Check for vacuum leaks.

 

[kazkepox]

enjected

First thing I would say is to have someone check for codes, but that would be somewhat difficult with a pre-OBDII car.

 

[Routy]

he would have to take it into a shop to do that inless he had the comp to do it which are expensive i would be surprised. I would check smaller stuff before you check for codes if you dont have the tools to check the code. if you cant find the prob than check for the codes.

I was too busy watching the ant crawl across the screen at 46 seconds... :arf:


Is your EGR valve dirty? If it's leaking at all, it will cause a vaccuum leak that could cause that. Carb cleaner and a screwdriver is all it takes to clean the pintle valve portion of the EGR.

88hp, what a beast. only 18hp less than my 87' yota...lol

Yeah, how'd they get such a small amount of horse power out of an engine? How many litres is it? My 1985 Peugeot 505 makes about 140HP with a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder!

Odd shaped go kart, I think it's a bit heavy. "A door? What on earth could you possibly want a door for?"

Is it to be a paddock basher or are you going to get it on the road?

Thanks

i think he meant 1988 not 88hp.

 

[kazkepox]

no, i meant 88hp...and its going to be on the road, im going to try and find a turbo motor from a thunderbird or a wrecked svo. ill be putting out much more hp then.

drive it like it is. Heck it runs. I would drive it until the wheels fall off.

 

[kazkepox]

well ill drive it like it is for now, but a 302 or 351 sounds really nice.

**** that 460 big block :arf:

 

[itwasjustanidea!]

**** both of them.

Bugger needs one heck of a service to sound nice before you think about engine swaps!

 

[Routy]

i agree with 460 big block. here is a pic of a 460 going into a mustang so you know its possible.

 

[kazkepox]

well actually the engine is running quite nicely, she needs a new set of plugs. the fuel seems to be loading up at idle. but going down the road she's seamless. the egr valve may be the problem

 

[Bluethunder3320]

well, you can always bring it to davesfarm.
