Re:I can cut the grass faster now.
 

my boss and i were actually talking about this and trying to figure out how to make it work today.

i have a lawmower motor at my disposal. possibly two, 1 from a riding, and the other from a conventional push mower. i wanna make a go kart, and i dont care if it has any kind of forced induction or not. but it would be cool if had something like that.

The design inside those motors is so not for efficiency that just rebuilding it and working on the components inside (up compression, port the head would result in a huge power gain. There are some tiny turbos available, get one from a chainsaw it would probably work fine.

turbo from a chainsaw!? i was thinking about trying to rig up an "impeller" that they use in radio controlled airplanes.

Re:I can cut the grass faster now.
 

would a lawn mower even spool a turbo? lol

Use some nitrous.......I've heard about a few crazy guys using it on riding lawn mowers
