could i put a...

could i put a c02 kit on my hf clone, or would it be to hard on it?

 

[ed1380]

c02 to cool down the intake or to inject into the motor?

either way beware of asploding flywheels at high rpm

 

[creedman]

i dont think injecting Co2 into a motor would produce any spectacular results, dosen't Co2 displace oxygen? as for cooling the intake, it would, due to it's very low boiling point, however finding a way to introduce it to the intake without actually injecting into the intake may prove difficult. lol, use a thermoelectric peltier, lol. also, i think i was having a recoil starter issue. i have used an electric impact to start one before, but i don't have a socket for this impact, it's 3/4 drive.

And getting it too cold = condensation... and water = hydrolock...

If you just wanted air to get sucked in cold, look into alcohol...

You could make a dry nos shot kit from one of those co2 tire inflators and run it on 8 gram creme whipper nitrous oxide cans.

a c02 kit on the intake

would it be hard on the engine if i did that with a slow flow?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Anything like this will be hard on the engine. IDK if I would trust a clone without a billet flywheel and rod.

 

[sayre315]

ok whats a rod? if i do get a billet flywheel and rod...
how much would itt cost?

would i be able to run um governed without any problems with a c02 kit?

 

[oscaryu1]

A rod = connecting rod. The thing that connects the piston to the crankshaft. When that breaks, all hell breaks loose. And you get another hole in your block.

Example of a BILLET connecting rod. A Billet connecting rod and a Honda Aluminum flywheels sums to about $150.

 

[sayre315]

do you know the exact size i would need for the 6.5hp clone?

 

[Pyrotechnic]

If you wanted to use stock stuff and left the governor on, you could piece together a nitrous kit with a small tank. Might make for some tire frying fun.

 

[sayre315]

could i use stock stuff and maybe some ghetto parts for it, leave it governed but put a c02 kit on it?

 

[Magice]

I wouldn't think there is much of a point. Just get some aftermarket parts from affordablegokarts.com if you need more performance.

 

[oscaryu1]

www.nr-racing.com has a bigger selection, with bearing inserts, without them, ect... But AGK has a great parts selection!

Dyno cams has recently come out with a .275" lift cam for $50. You can buy it via phone order from www.arcracing.com

Everything billet you buy these days are pretty much ARC products. I've already bought one of those $50 cams. Coming in soon!

 

[sayre315]

well i found a little kit that

Carburetor, Clone GX390 (~21 mm) with long adapter and fixed jet.. Includes insulator/spacer, all gaskets, bolts, filter adapter, and air filter. Makes 1/2 hp more than 2 pc adapters. For GX160/200s (Style may differ from picture)


would that be good for my clone?
if so, where could i get it for cheaper?

 

[oscaryu1]

From NR eh? I wouldn't recommend it. Not that it's bad or poor quality (actually, they're great, I have a similar setup), but your motor is a stock one, correct?

I put mine on a near-stocker... UNI Air Filter, Governor Removed, and Candy Cane single stage header... smoked like hell, dripped gasoline from the carburetor, and idled very high. You'll need more modifications till you can use that setup. For starters, remove the governor and don't rev over 5000. You'll need stiffer springs at 5300, (valve float), and over 5,700, I'd highly recommend an Aluminum Flywheel ($99) and a ARC Billet Rod ($50)

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Why bother with a cold intake co2 kit when NOS is way better and a 2ish second dry shot kit+a box or 2 of 8 gram shots can be made for around $30. On a clone I would go with a billet flywheel and rod before even LOOKING at taking off the gov.

 

[oscaryu1]

It's only $150 to make it good for 8,000+.
