Predator Engines

[redsox985]

But that's not as fun as an engine with all pistons and no valves!

I had a differential in my kart, it eas easy to steer, exept when you took hard turns it spun up the inside wheel. So, i welded it up.

Its harder to turn but i get better traction.

Good ideas!

Slow down there. Unless they changed the airbox there, that isn't a predator.

the clone in that mini bike isnt a predator im pretty sure. i have the EXACT same engine in the exact same bike, and i have a greyhound.

one thing is certain, the baja-clone is WAY better than a greyhound.


ill have to go tell you what the airbox says, i remember there was a company name.

 

[Blazkowiez]

The baja clone seems to be the exact same as the greyhound man, they're both Lifan and being churned out of the same factory. What basis are you going on to say it is better?

IMHO.....I WOULD GO WITH THE YELLOW CLONE(DUCAR OR DOPOR) WHY?...!1 BETTER TOLLERENCE'S THRU- OUT THE MOTOR #2 PRICE $99.00+/- #3 AVAILIBUALTY #4 NO MORE BLUE'S #5 NO GOV. OR LOW OIL SWITCH(LESS WORK-ALREADY DONE)......OH YEAH, REMEMBER NO GAS TANK OR MUFFLER! THIS IS THE BASIC MOTOR ALL THE RACER'S USE IN THE CLONE CLASS......WITH PROPER PARTS, YOU CAN MAKE THEM SCREAM!!! 25/30 HP POSSIBLE

25/30 HP POSSIBLE

Let's see some dyno slips for that, por favor.

I dont have any dyno slips to post, but he's actually pretty dam close there for all-out/cost is no object builds.

(although I'll agree that his little cap-lock issue there certainly lowers his credibility level, and I'd also point out that most guys taking on a full-race build like this would be knowledgeable enough to start out with a genuine GX200 block for its higher quality)

You wont find much hardcore race engine info here on T/B, but you would researching at this site:

What's wrong with you that you feel compelled to type in all caps? It looks horrid.

 

[wall gator]

MOSTLY, DUE TO AGE AND DISABILITES! I CAN ONLY TYPE WITH ONE FINGER IS KINDA HARD TO REACH THE SHIFT KEY AND ANOTHER KEY AT THE SAME TIME!! SORRY GUY'S, IT'S EITHER ALL CAPS(I CAN READ THEM) OR ALL LOWER CASE....LET ME KNOW, WHAT TO DO.....WALT :toetap05:

 

[wall gator]

Let's see some dyno slips for that, por favor.

i have no slip's..might wanna ask "mdb"(master of clone's) the high 25/30 hp clones are billet(block/rod/heads/side cover) 3"bore/bigggg valves and ported heads...ALONG WITH BIG H.P. IS BIG MONEY.....THESE ARE MINI DRAG BIKE'S(EVERY WEEK-ON THE STREET) PURPOSED BUILT RACE MOTORS...WALT

Has anyone used one of these Harbor Freight Predator 6.5 hp 212 cc engines? Can some please write a review because I am thinking about picking one up this weekend.

 

[matt8960]

I put up a review on the HF website, I like them better than the greyhound personally

 

[redsox985]

Please elaborate Matt!

 

[Robs Manco]

I have one of those Predator Harbor Freight engines on the way. Replacment for the blown up Tecumseh in my kids Yerf Dog. Should be here in a few days. I'll post a reveiw at some point.

 

[frankysfree]

Just use the torque number to find HP, afterall hp is just a calculation based on the torque reading...

 

[cant kech me]

I found an alternative to these seemingly crappy predators.

http://www.new4stroke.com/

This is really cool. It's a 4 stroke with no valves and multiple cylinders.

interesting
