This was just one of those things I was just thinking..

But I remember, a while ago, that people used to "supercharge" their go-karts, by taking a smog-pump out of cars (preferably huge trucks, since they would have bigger ones), and connecting that on a belt from the engine. Then route the air into to carb...

I was wondering if this could be done with a fiddy also. I plan on getting one of those cheap little ones that you find at Autozone/Murray's, because I like the sport bike look on those.

Anyways, what do you guys think?

ok, apparently the word "usa" is censored

www power bike u s a .com

 

Yeah, I just went to their site. $1700 for that is way too much. I mean, I'd just might as well get a regular sized bike. LOL. I was looking to spend no more than $150 on the complete project. Considering you could find smog pumps for less than $30, if not free from buddies if they take it off their cars.

I have a video of a supercharged 3.5hp brigs and stratton engine that I built in college, Its a bit more involved than I first thought. Their were two main problems. The first was a pressure regulator IE blowoff valve, I was trying to run 4pis into the engine and it proved very difficult to regulate.. The second was carburation, it was difficult to mount the carb to the smog pump and the resulting Long intake track made it nearly impossibe to start with out starting fluid.. For the added weight and complexity of tuning it would be far easier to just put a bore kit in... at near peak efficency you will see a gain of around 40% so youe 2.5 HP stocker will be a wopping 3.5HP supercharged ...and a PITA to tune and start.. but it can be done, also depending on the boost you will be running you may need to do the oppisite of the timing mod to retard your timing to avoid detonation.... and I thought my powertrain design specialty would never be used...Engineers kik azz :YEAH

 

you talking about briggs & stratton type go carts or yami 125's?

 

So just make it fuel injected!!! :YEAH

 

i'd like to pimp this supercharge bitch
