Brainstorm: ghetto turbo mod #2

[Kenny_McCormic]

some engines have a reverse pto on the cam

A tiller engine would work great.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

what you could do is atatch a pulley to the cam
run a belt on it and put another pulley on a fan. make the fan where it is blowing into a hose (such as a vacuum hose) into the air intake spot

i think i may try it

Thats what a real supercharger is.

And with that, this thread has hit the #2 thread status.

....the symbol of a truly great thread

That is a genuis idea! However, how will I start it?

 

[ed1380]

well the recoil starter is on the flywheel and the ptos are on the other side

I think a may have found an engine for tis mod, its a 1970 briggs 8HP cool bore judging by the amount of oil it burns, every gasket leaks, uses an old platnium car plug with a bunch of spacers to prevent fouling. Probably wont get it till the end of summer.

fix it up! those old 8hps are the win

 

[oscaryu1]

Ahh the PTO side, nevermind

8HPs... rev up to 5,000 maximum. The da rod goez.

Its done it before and been ok (gov came unhooked, thank the FSM it didnt kill us). This thing is FAR beyond rebuild material, it would probably need more than a 30 overbore, new crank, rod, etc, a rebuild would cost more than the engine would be worth running good and not burning oil.

I gotta put up pics of the engine that will replace this one in the splitter. 12hp briggs, unknown date (estimated pre70, probably 50s or 60s, can find numbers on it anywhere, points in a box on the side of the block?????). Its strange, supposed to be 12hp(guy we bought it from said so), cast iron block, haven't ran it yet as the wiring harness on it is all messed up and i need to redo it to get the stater working.

 

[I like karts]

12hp?!?!

make a rock crawler with that thang

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Nope, making a log splitter go al ittle better, this thing is OLD SCHOOL, so old there probably wasnt a school, weights over 80 pounds by my guess.

 

[oscaryu1]

Haha, I have a 60's Briggs 2 horse. Wonder what I can use it for?

Mod it and put it on a bicycle.

 

[oscaryu1]

I was thinking of that. Main reason I kept my bike I bought in 2nd grade and wanting a welder.
