I saw a video a few months ago where I guy put a GXR engine in his go-cart... That might be a better route.

Ive seen a turbo small enough to use. I forget what it was off of, but I can find out. It was small enough to make spin up powered by the idle of a 125cc 2 stroke motor.

Does anyone know where i can get a design for a 2 seater gokart type off roading buggy?


Like the exterior frame design? i might make one of those and out a suzuki engine in it or something...err actually somehting with power, i wouldnt want ot go to fast on a very unsafe thing.

Re:lawnmower turbo
 
I think anything for like a weedeater or a chainsaw or a garden tractor puller, or anything like that.

I got it planned. No intercooler or anything, just turbo for now. I got a friend who races Go carts, he has a ---- load of parts spare parts, they make all of there own stuff so they take about 10 engines, rebuild them, and maybe 1 will turn out for the track. ::) I have one of those 'messed up' motors,its like 40hp from a 5hp block! Titanium valves, dual springs, cumtom cam, billet piston/rod...its awsome.
put a turbo....humm...

dont use a turbo, use a belt and a v8 water pump

Re:lawnmower turbo
 
Well i think I found what you are looking for on there. Its under the chevy application. It is for a 1.0 liter motor and it is an IHI RHB32CW. Chevy sprint. Small as hell. I know how big mine is and that could be spooled by your motor. hehe.

souds like a decent idea, but I dont understand how it would work??? use a belt??

davcivic 05-12-2004 02:12 PM

Re:lawnmower turbo
 
a belt like a supercharger, and the water pump would pump air???

sohcrxsi 05-12-2004 02:23 PM

Re:lawnmower turbo
 
use an emissions pump off a v8, just like a supercharger.

kain 05-12-2004 03:31 PM

Re:lawnmower turbo
 
or an airpump off an rx7 which i already have?

SkunT 05-12-2004 07:00 PM

Re:lawnmower turbo
 
I would like to know if there are any turbos small enough for a 5hp engine

sohcrxsi 05-12-2004 07:45 PM

Re:lawnmower turbo
 
on this forum i once saw a turbo bar stool, it had a 5hp on it i think. if i remember right they were selling small turbos like that for around $1200

SkunT 05-12-2004 07:48 PM

Re:lawnmower turbo
 
i could turbo 3 cars for 1200 bucks...
I think im gonna look around and maybe go to a lawn mower shop. --just to see what they say. I could probably get a waterpump really cheap though.
