Small Dingo Project

[NJOHC]

I have been riding around on a 2005 Dingo over the summer with a 7hp Subaru. We logged over 1000 miles from Feb. to Aug. in the dust, rain, snow and heat (upper 90's). I ride with a group of friends and we all have a blast; we stay up all night and just have a good time overall. Our riding trips our usually 4 days long and we stay at a hunting club which my friend's dad is a member of. The only thing Ive done to the engine are override the gov. so it limits the revs to 4500 RPM, exhaust, air filter, and advance the timing maybe only a degree. The kart holds up but Im outgrowing it and want more power. So over the winter me and my dad plan to do just a little work that I figured Id post about. This post it probably as much for us as it is just to share, so we can look back and see what kind of progress we made. We plan on extending it about 6 inches: Im growing and its getting a little cramped. I also just bought a 9HP Subaru. Were going to get it set up with a 40 series TC and try to make everything fit on the back of a little dingo. I plan on just putting exhaust on the new motor and overriding its gov. also. Maybe ill drill a few holes around the air filter cover for more flow, but nothing major. So here are some pics and vids from this year. Its holding up strong for all the miles and crap its been through for a yard kart. Progress will be slow, but I figure its just one more thing for people to check out when they come on the forums at night! lol

With my old UNI and w/o the exhaust. I dont have a pic currently how it is.

The 2 main friends I ride withs Karts and mine.

sounds like your having a good time doing what you love, and you gotta love those dingo's... one of the best looking karts in my opinion like beefy race karts. and the rollcage looks good on them too.

Thanks! I made this over my summer break of the 3 of us. There are other people but the girl is my best friend that got me into this actually. Hope you like it, and I hope it works!

haha sweet video. I love the rabbit ears. And those rain coats? they protect you in rain, not puddles

 

[NJOHC]

She said thanks for the Bunny ears compliment! She gets looks by everyone we pass! hah The rain coats helped a bit lol We all got a hot shower after that though!

I wish I had friennds like that

all of mine are into other things. maybe if I get more than one go kart built that can hold up to my fourwheelers we can go riding...

 

[NJOHC]

Haha yea! One of my other friends has 3 quads and Im so jealous. He put some cams in it with a dual exhaust... I wish they made a cam for the subies.My present to Amanda was a seatbelt lol Ive been close to flipping but I dont know how she hasnt yet. So I bought us both one. Mine has been broke since I bought the kart. I can say for sure that its gonna be one hell of a loud engine with the new exhaust. My dad put the one he bought on the log splitter and its pretty loud stock. I cant wait. Back up sprockets are on order next.

So would I! lol... I was looking at some gy6 engines before I bought the new Subaru but a good gy6 is expensive. I have an 8hp briggs and a seized gx270 clone to make a good fast race engine out of. Until I make the new engine and kart the way I like it any mods for them is sort of on hold. Id like to get a gx390 cam and put some bigger valves etc. on the clone. Ive never built an engine before so it should be a good way to teach myself.

Nice and the bunny ears are the coolest thing ever! like my freinds truck he has deer antlers on the windows lol

 

[NJOHC]

lol... theyre so dirty now they dont even look like bunny ears anymore.
Engine Update: Ive been talking with Grant Goracy, one of the guys who helped in the development of the subaru kx21 (karting engine). He said when Im ready we can stroke the 9hp out to 300cc in the blink of an eye. So once it's on that is a definite maybe!

 

[kazkepox]

why dont you get ur buds to join the site? they would be warmly welcomes (especially amanda..)

 

[NJOHC]

I tried to get her to join before. Shes not into the techninal, mechanical part of it. She just likes to ride.

 

[kazkepox]

haha yeah, I used to be like that but then a month ago I was like "i could fix it myself..."

 

[NJOHC]

I ordered the 40 series TC today. Comet went bankrupt so I got it while there are still some new ones left! haha Im wanting the Two Bro's exhaust sold for this but it's rediculously expensive. Maybe Xmas? Im asking for a Mac for Xmas so thats expensive enough! lol

 

[NJOHC]

TC came!

Pic of the header, its a bit rusty since its been really humid here lately.

 

[t0x1k]

I just order a 40 too. I was in shock at how big it is compared to a 30. The 30 belt is the size of the rear pulley.

Where in jersey are you?
