I don't think you're going to find a bolt-on turbo, but if you are resourceful, creative, and willing to experiment, do a user search for lemegacool. He turbo'ed a shopping kart on this forum!
running with some extra O2

50 cc is a little small i guess... darn that would have made it sound cool loll

not bolt on per say... its kinda hard to explain let me try to draw it up quick.

how would i make a turbo work that was for a bigger engine on my little one because there won't be enough exuahst flow to get the turbo up to speed?

Truthfully, I just don't think there's anything small enough to work with a 50cc engine.

OK hang tough for this one...
So for a typical turbo you know they are usually one piece( idk how they do this) but none the less i was wondering if ya could make one in Three parts as the attachment shows...
Part 1
The outer caps as you can see will be the circle so the fans can fit. They go to the middle of the fans and have a solid piece on the top and bottom for which they can be bolted to the middle part. the light blue would be an o-ring as to keep any exhaust or air from escaping. the yellow line going through would be the cut point at which would help in the building of a custom turbo.
Part 2
The fans and shaft that connect them will stay the same while fitting the inside the two sides. Im not sure what kind of material this is made out of i think it is carbon something... correct me if im wrong.
Part 3
The middle part would be the same but the outside edges will obviously match up with the outer pieces to be bolted together. As im writing this im still brain storming
but the bottom piece of part 1 and 3 will be threaded somehow so a pipe could be wound up there. The out for the air would go back into the engine(obviously)
I may have forgotten some stuff and constructive criticism would be great. this is just me being the engineer that i wanna be but i think for making a "custom" turbo i think this may work. possibly

you speak french? i'm so bad at it, i rely need to practice more hehe. an EDF unit is an Electric Ducted Fan, basically a souped up brushless computer cooling fan. kind of like a simple turbo jet engine. alot of them can put out 100mph wind! i thought that you could keep it at low speed and run an engine with one.
DS13, that's a lot like the design i came up with a while ago! here's my version, i think that i could machine everything but the blades (which i might be able to find on a metal EDF). red in the pic is the exhaust, green is air

Im thinking about tinkering with something here in the near future after i finish my go kart.

French? That's Spanish (actually means "that", should be qué which means "what")

The only problem i see with the EDF is that you need power going to it.

Yeah- It was a horrible whack at Spanish for "what?". I just don't know how to generate that accented e on my keyboard...
EDIT- Je ne parlez-pas le Francaise worth a dang, n'est-ce pas?

it's almost the same in french. example: qu'est-ce que= what, quoi= what (the abreviation or what ever it's called got me confused). que=that sometimes i can get accent marks by hitting control+accent+letter.
DS13, ur right that's why i like the idea of using the blades to make a turbo.

oui, c'est vrai. better then i did for the first month of class though!
I have tryed it once and was sucsesfull but i couldnt put alot of oxygen and hydrogen (50/50) in without the engine getting to much fuel.

you ran hydrogen and oxygen in with gas already being fed to the engine? that's probably what the problem was, there's 2 hydrogen's per oxygen so those would combine and the gas wasn't getting much of anything. i only did that on a weed eater engine because i didn't want to unclog the carb. try just running one gas in.
Nope it was 50 50 i seperated the H from O and used half the H and mixed it with all the O to get 50 50 because i thought of haveing to much hydrogen. With HHO it wouldnt run to went and tryed 50 50, i was going to try to run just H or O with gas as like a NOS boost but i stoped expermenting with it for some reason and havent gone back to it.

how'd u split it 50/50?
