must see... stupid go kart !!!

That thing is awesome. I like the wing it matches the engine.

thanks for the comments!!! got nearly all my parts needed to turbocharge this bad boy! lol i will be running 8psi of boost on a stock honda 5.5 block, do you think it will hold up... well time will tell us lol

I think the flywheel will fly off like a flying saucer. Other than that That is a pretty nice looking cart!

that would be funny to see, hehe the turbo is actually a eagle talon turbo! dont worry i'll install a boost controller to try with lower pressures a first!

 

[Scorch3]

if you get it to spool something funny will happen i'm sure.

 

[lemegacool]

i'll be sure to take little pics and vids for your viewing pleasure! and if it fails i want that on video!!!

 

[lemegacool]

well i hooked up the turbo today (just the esaust side) and after a quick dry test (no oil) i wasnt very surprised. i hope that with an oil pressure on the bushing i will get more spool up than that... or it's gonna be seriously non-efffective! lol tool me 6 hours to hook that sucker up (including the time to make a custom muffler) will post pics tomorrow

Your turbo is to big, its' designed for a larger engine and you haven't got enough exhaust pressure to spin it fast enough.

[lemegacool]

yeah i know but it was free so... it gonna be more for estetics, the cart looks freakin badass with the turbo and custom muffler!

here are the pics!

Y'all are nuts .............. good work, though. Make sure the frame is really reinforced to handle all the weight and (hopefully) extra power - be VERY disasterous to have something break while you're running ....

 

[lemegacool]

lol dont worry i crashed it twice and nothing failed! the first time i was in a trail and my steering disconnected (reinforced it since) so the cart steered right in a big bump lol i kinda flew in the air then crashed the cart on the side, second time i was doing some heavy drifting and the cart crashed on it's side, thats is why i always wear a full-face! lol

Where is the oil supply for the turbo? Why is it not hooked up to the engine?

Keep in mind that you will need to pressurize your gas tank and carb bowl if you do a blow though setup. I would get a mikuni for cheap off a dirt bike/sled and set it up so the turbo sucks mix out of the carb and blows it in the motor.

 

[lemegacool]

i said earlyer in this thread that i would run it in a draw through setup, why the oil lines and compressor not hooked! well i got other things to do with my life than turboing a shopping cart! dont worry i only ran the turbo dry for like 15 seconds it did not even got hot...

 

[lemegacool]

good idea for the mikuni carb... would be easier to hook up the throttle, any minimal bore size? was looking at his one http://cgi.ebay.ca/Carburetor-Dirt-Pit-Bike-ATV-Honda-MIKUNI-Carb-30mm_W0QQitemZ220284188066QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item220284188066&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1215|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

I would say 30mm MINIMUM, How big is the intake on that blower? I would get something clamp on with a close diameter to the turbo, that way you just need a rubber hose and 2 clamps to hold it on.

how about this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yama...006QQitemZ160329634383QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
No messing with jets, screw adjusted.

Does that turbo have a built in oil pump? I would recommend keeping the turbo oil separate from the engine.

bidding ended 41.28mm intake (you was straight in lol) so i'll look for something around that size... no the turbo does not have a built-in oil pump, i was planning on running the oil pump off the engine but i see where youre going with this... trying to keep the load off the engine... other option is a 12v pump to circulate the oil, do you have any suggestion that are not costing an arm! because i have one of those shurflo 8000-643-236 that handle hot oil for my turbojet engine and it runned me out of 130$ here in canada, basically i dont run the cart more than 1 hour per week so i dont need a ultra-super-duper-über pump, just something that can handle oil (slightly hot) and provide a little pressure like 20psi, i was thinking about theses thing : http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-DRILL-PUMP-WATER-COOLANT-FUEL-OIL-660-GPH_W0QQitemZ330325289621QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Automotive_Tools?hash=item330325289621&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1215|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

any suggestions?

edit: found this http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380118982476&_trksid=p2759.l1259 looks like it would be perfect!

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Looks like a good carb.

Perhaps you could get a power steering pump and an old oil cooler for cheap at the junkyard? That will handle hot oil great.

 

[lemegacool]

yeah i think i should go to a junkyard and look around, thanks for your help!

That's the perfect swap meet cruiser! You could probably even get it into the meets where "motorized" carts aren't allowed.
