Brainstorm: ghetto turbo mod

[ironman]

i just want to see some one just built it!

 

[oscaryu1]

ye some motors are lint. I have a motor at school which has a flywheel made of plastic. The engine is finished because the gas doesn't seem to go into the engine

Too bad. I'd take it...

You know what sucks? Signing up for IT, and then one day getting a peek behind a cover and finding over 100 Briggs & Stratton engines there.

Then he says "oh yeah, we had a engine class a long time ago"

Anyways... I should be done this weekend. I'l try and post up some pictures and if possbile, a video.

Lol I don't know why but I just found that hilarious! I think I expected a video of an actual engine throwing a flywheel.

And I could combine this "supercharger" idea with my propane idea.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Never heard of a plastic flywheel, I have however seen many plastic fans bolted onto cast iron flywheels.

 

[oscaryu1]

Works quite well... even at idle.

 

[ed1380]

is the black thing the air cleaner box?

 

[oscaryu1]

Yup. Straight from a HF GX200 Clone.

HOLYCRAPWTFROFLCOPTER Batman!!!

That looks insane. Or funny.

 

[oscaryu1]

Well it works. Can't deny that.

 

[I like karts]

Wtf? why do you have like 74368345146 tubes and not even 1 goes to the carb?

 

[oscaryu1]

Actually... there are 6 tubes. And because I still need to wait for my air filter adapter to come in. Then I don't have to keep switching between the "turbocharger" and the breather tube. I'll just drill a hole in the air filter...

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Cant wait to see it running!!! I got to thinking as well, any cooling air lost is going to be pumped inside the engine which in theory should cool it better.

EDIT: You need a muffler

 

[ironman]

so what kind of gain do you thing you are going to get out of that.

 

[I like karts]

probably .5- 1 hp if it works perfect

 

[I like karts]

Which tube gets the most airflow?

Could you tell me cause I think im going to do this except im only going to use 1 tube
