nice blades
So I see you're going mikuni there..
am I mistaking or were you planning on an EFI conversion *headscratch*,
and if I'm not... what happened to that?
In any case.. nice.. cute little turbo you got there;
yes please, more pics and infos.. as much and many as you can in fact
.

Yep , draw through setup with a Mikuni clone , 26mm . Tried it out before hand , works very well , but even with the needle all the way down ( highest notch , least possible fuel ) it was still waay too much mixture for a stock GX200.
The G200 threw a rod , thus its of no use . I tried to find a suitable replacement , and i did , but really never got the time to do it properly . This setup is to show it can be done , but with no fancy business .

Turbo is off Alliexpress , shipped to me from France , arrived in 3 days . 175 USD , shipping included . (+ since i have some premium membership discounts , final price was around 150 USD ).

As of details .... its not that interesting to be honest .
Draw through setup with the mentioned carburetor , a hydraulic pump ( either toroidal or geared ) will be used as a source of lubriaction , with a 120mm watercooling radiator i have leftover from a PC build serving as the oil cooling .
Why the radiator ? Well , the GX200 technically has no oil cooling , and even if the turbo doesnt push much boost ( im aiming at .5Bar , so a relative 50% increase in capacity ) it will still heat the oil up quite a bit , so a radiator is a must .
I was thinking of hiding the radiator in the fan shroud , so it gets the max possible cooling .
So oil flow would go like this : Sump (via the drain plug) -> radiator -> pump suction side -> turbo -> drain back to the hole leftover from the low oil cutoff switch found stock on the GX.
Piping il try to keep as short , especially the exhaust side , the GX will need all the help it can get to spool this turbo up . No intercooler aswell , since if i did my math correctly , the carburetors venturi effect with the fuel being atomized should bring the intake air temperatures down enough so even after being compressed by the turbo , it should remain under safe limits .
No BOV or such either , since it would be throwing the mixture out in the atmosphere .
