Hey alll i got a go kart the other day and im really keen on making it turbocharged its a 5.5hp honda motor 162cc i was wondering if a DAIHATSU CHARADE turbo will spool up on it or has any one got any ideas were to get a smaller turbo for my project?

Thanks

I hope it's not a 2-stroke???

You should be spending all this money/time/effort on the ute

Naaaa gota have toys as well beattie and no its ot a 2 stroke...

The ute is a toy isnt it? The sedan is the daily, ute-toy

Now that's the kind of thinking I like! I'm not sure you'll ever find a turbo small enough for that engine but air-cooled motors like that are supremely easy to supercharge. Just cut a hole in the shroud where it routes the air from the flywheel-fan thingy and hook a hose from there to the carby. It won't do much for the longevity of the engine but hey, they are almost as cheap as dirt so blow up several and have a good time. In high school I had a Tecumseh 5 horse that I modified in this way. I never got around to using it on a kart or mini-bike because I stripped out a head bolt with an inaccurate torque wrench. Well that, and girls, and real cars, and beer, and recreational pharmaceuticals, and...

I have done it with a 3.5hp and current motor is a 7hp honda gen. set engine. Using a Charade turbo with the waste gate welded up, at full rpm it pulls 5psi.
Im using a dirt bike carby, that i have re-jetted and given the ports a clean up. It also has NOS.

can u post some bigger photos? i know the boys at work would get a kick out of that!!!

Theres a feature of that keg cart in a Zoom mag ive got. pretty neato

Anyone got a charade turbo i can have gonna do a keg like that one
