turbo go cart
 

ok so im geting 1200$ yarf-dog go cart for 75$ and i want to turbo charge. it i can get a tiny oil cooled turbo. but i need to know how to supliy the oil to the turbo it self. i was looking at oil pumps. and it looks to me that even if i ran a chain to one of them it wouldnt work. do they make an external oil pump ? do you guys have any other ides or any way you know this wont work? it has a 12hp B/S engine

Re: turbo go cart
 

no, your not gonna make it work.

im pretty sure the motor has some type of oil pump. but there is no way for you to get oil from the system. unless you find a place where there is pressure and drill and tap eithe rthe head or the block

---- the 12hp B&S, strip the motor, go to the junkyard, pull a turbo rotary, the spray it and slap it on there.

Its going to be more hassle than its worth. The oiling system is the hardest part of my turbo 2-stroke project and I've built an entire EFI system for the thing from scratch starting with a pile of resistors and capacitors. Good luck :-\


Your better off getting a dirtbike motor for it or something along those lines

thats what im thinking after 4 hours of searching and reading

im going to put a snowmobile engine on it i can get a whole snowmobile for 100$ need new belt so im just going to strip it down and start planing thanks for the help

i got an 80cc 2stroke dirtbike engine im gonna use, im sure it has more then enough kick to have a lil fun. ive been researching all different ways. i was gonna run an xternal oil tank/pan then set a pump to push oil up to the turbo then let it drain back down to the tank/pan. but i dunno what to use for fuel/spark... so i gave up haha. everyone says if it was a 4stroke it'd be easier... ill stick to NA til whitey perfects his 2stroke turbo...
