As far as we are concerned no one has actually proven that turbo single cylinder motors can make power, the general consensus was that they generally will destroy power and not be worth any of the time or money. We found that this turbo predator 212 actually made a ton of power for being a bone stock bottom end with a turbo on it. This really opens some doors for us as we plan to fully build the engine and equip it with efi then attack the dyno again on high boost!
This thing is powered by a turbocharged predator 212 engine. What we needed to do was make a turbo manifold for the turbo predator 212, oil system, and electrical system to make sure the turbo could run completely autonomously, that way when we hook it up to the engine, we would know that there were no issues on the turbo side of things. After we did that we ran this turbo kart under boost with 2 carburetors, made custom intake piping, and finally revved it up and tuned it so it ripped! Then, a few weeks later we decided to change things up and use a single blow-through carb design with a pressurized fuel system and a 22mm mikuni.
Thanks for watching and be sure to stay tuned for this thing making some boost while driving!

    That is pretty dope, But it’s probably better to just grab a bigger engine

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Ardron says:

    Can detonation cause a two stroke engine to seize up?

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars overbuilt automotive says:

    alway port head on short turn a little goes a long way on these engines

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Conner says:

    So from what I've been reading is you need to seal off fuel bowl and pressurize it and you need 7psi of pressure higher than boost

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mGMe2007 says:

    I noticed that the intake temp. got very high (250) causing the air to be less dense. The whole point of the forced air pressure is to make the air denser when entering the head to be compressed. I didn't notice an intercooler to cool the intake air from the turbo. Did the turbo engine ever get one? Good job though on the tests.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Austin Buring says:

    So this compared to say, buying a wrecked r3 and putting the motor on, stock. The r3 itself gets about 41 BHP. On a lighter chassis, no gearbox, with more traction, I'd assume you'd get more out of it. And you still havenlots of room for performance upgrades.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars METRASILVA says:

    Esos carburadores trabajan con vacío no con precion de aire por eso se ahoga en altas

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rob echlin says:

    its a pee extender dyno

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Runes says:

    Dude just power your cart with a piaggo motorized bike engine 17 horsepower two stroke, your gonna get alot more speed with a 2 stroke when it comes to smaller engines

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Holbrook says:

    I'm not sure it's worth it I mean it's cool but less than I wanted to see

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SixxGunZ says:

    It loves that 5000 rpm range

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MOF410 says:

    Love the effort…single cylinder turbo is awesome

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JDM TECH LLC says:

    I put an AFR gauge on my last kart build, see my channel, helped loads with tuning.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kyle Peters says:

    My restrictor plate J2 Flathead made 11hp…

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Corona I says:

    slow slow slow NO power

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ctrlaltstartx says:

    Late to the party, but I bet you can get that bad boy registered as an Energy Star Certified lawn sprinkler.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dangerdave fpv says:

    Does it even have boost?

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars twisted1 says:

    Don't a stock hemi 212 make around 8hp?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Isaac Gallegos says:

    A sequential setup might be needed

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Isaac Gallegos says:

    Add one of those electric superchargers

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MEMZ MODZ says:

    Just put stage kits in it u will make around 20-25hp

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Perry says:

    Congrats lol. You paid a lot of money for an engine that makes so little horsepower when you could of gotten the duromax 18hp and then turbocharged it lol.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jjhack3r says:

    Still makes less that a stock Tilitson 212

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lev Gtz says:

    gosh! Get a 125cc bike engine. Looks like even an RC car engine will be less waste of learning time.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars KONTROLLED KHAOS says:

    You would benefit from the carb on the turbo

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BUILD NIGHT says:

    All that money and time to make 8hp??? A stock Predator 301cc is 8hp for $229. Doesn’t make sense… Why does everyone claim 20-22hp with Stage 4 kits and no turbo???

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vampire Leftist Isra says:

    Hmm… i really wanna see it make big power. Ive seen 212s running 20hp NA. Is there any way we can start putting down the big numbers? 🙁

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jash610 says:

    Did you run this engine on………..megasquirt?

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Moto4 Life says:

    more torque at low rpm, watch the water pressure!!
