In this video we drive the 60's turbo go kart for the first time! 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!

    Throw a nitrous kit on that bitch will solve the lag at mid range it'll just be full power off the line lol

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Eller says:

    Slow af

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dallas batman says:

    I think you should try forcing more air into the turbo with a directional piping system taking air in at the front of the kart

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tyler Seitz says:

    When will there be a mini V8 build?

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Sanborn says:

    add nitromethane mix it wih gas but shake the shit up before filling it seperates, u will build boost because of the nitrogen content i did it on my predator.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jesse Skaggs says:

    You guys need to spray nos in the turbo

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ashton hall-martinez says:

    This is way cool but not what I expected. I would have thought you could like flore it and do durn outs

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Klutch Killerz says:

    Why did you decide to not use a blow off valve?

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MJ W says:

    Not to b e a Dick, the cart sounds terrible and I do not here boost on the engine.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars oscar mason says:

    By question is if the turbo that have on the motor was ment for a gas engine would it be better to run a turbo off of a diesel engine like a jetta or a beetle be cause they create less flow and heat but would allow the small gas engine to create more boost

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars exoticnoise46636 says:

    The concrete road to nowhere. I would be there all the time. Set up a makeshift kart track. You have to be in Nevada right? (Edit) now that i look at the surroundings, the dirt and no mountain ranges i dont think Nevada. But maybe in the midwest somewhere. Could be Michigan because they use concrete alot.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Cooper says:

    Get an app for your cell phone for speed limit I'd like to know how fast you're going seems like a simple fix

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Douglas Dailey says:

    Change down the jet 2 sizes.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shogoat1304 says:

    it looks really slow a turbo will never work great even on a hopped up engine. smog pump supercharger would be better

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Car conversations says:

    Aye did y’all take the governor off it

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Wenn says:

    just put a small fuel pump on it, naturally aspirated carburetors are not gonna cut it

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TK Skagen says:

    EFI…

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars doug fehler says:

    supercharging no lag amri 500cc with blow off valve varoom signing off DR.d. ps. not a real docter

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Marinello says:

    @BBR a forged rod and a forged flywheel and removing the governor will make more power and high speeds with a smaller clutche and sproket f drift lol top speed and boost is what your after lololololol

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Clayton says:

    Cool stuff, looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the entertainment guys.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kevin auman says:

    Sounds like ya need a fuel pressure regulator

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cole Trick says:

    Motomigs is about to show y’all how it’s done right

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Slanted Perspective says:

    Pressure the tank..
