DG Ninja 250r Muffler - http://dgperformance.com/dg-performance-models2.php?category=Kawasaki&model=Ninja%20250%20R&appYear=2008&prodType=Exhaust
We're building on offroad shifter kart buggy! The base frame for this new project is a Manco Deuce go kart with a semi-independent rear suspension. In this video we started installing all the systems to see it run inside of the kart! This includes the radiator, fuel system, and a full exhaust.
Thank you guys for watching and be sure to subscribe to see us finish this thing and rip it!

And welcome back to another deuce video, alright! So in this video the goal is to have the engine running on the cart. So we just got to get all the kind of periphery oohs all the systems on and then guys yeah, so that kind of includes a full exhaust system with a DG muffler and they hooked us up again with an awesome, ninja muffler. So that's gon na sound awesome on this thing. We also have to do things like the whole coolant system, including the radiator and wearing stuff, like that.

We have to find a gas tank, and then we have to do all the wiring stuff and the coils mounting a go power switch battery things like that. Alright so first thing to do mount the gas tank, so we flush it completely out right now, since this is going to be on the kind of fixed side of the go-kart, so we're thinking of doing it this way, but the fuel petcocks really far back in The part of the bell curve, where the cam gears are kind of sticks out a lot so we're thinking we're probably going to flip it around and then mount it kind of good. Just over this marriage bar and then now here's a really straight shot from our guessing to our carbs and we shouldn't have any problems flexing or needing a bunch of fuel. Okay, so finished up our brackets there pretty much tacked in, but we drilled the holes and that kind of missed your lives in real nice-like that since they call our holes line up, it really kind of adds to look it's getting more complete.

So now what we're going to do is we're gon na adapt our air box to fit and start getting it off. Okay, so to get the air box to fit and not hit in the back, we cut off the battery tray, but it looks pretty good. I'm probably gon na do a little support at the bottom, so it's not flopping around, but so now we're going to start on kind of the wiring we have coils and we need to mount them which we're probably just going to do to this back hoop right Here I was actually thinking of making a bracket here, but we might as well just utilize these brackets that are already on this thing, so I'm gon na take it off to kind of chop it and we can weld it right up to that hoop. Okay.

So we just finished mount our coils in the rear, and now we have a go power switch battery, of course, and the stock duce battery location was right here before the football and that's going to work perfect for this. So basically, what I'm going to do is I'm going to make our own angle iron out of this square tubing and we'll just get to mounting it up alright. So basically, we made two piece of angle: iron out of a square tubing and then box off the sides. So I'll weld this up and I get welded in The Deuce - doesn't write a final point on our rear swingarm we're gon na remove everything welded up finalize it last thing we have to do.

Is we fabbed up this little mound for our break, we're going to mount this right by our rear brake now, just over all right, so we got everything prepared basically do a couple of gussets on this in the brake mount and we're just welding everything up all Right, so this piece looks really good. This carrier we're going all out and the go Powersports gussets. That's what enough call it. I got a lot of welding anime there, this rear submit is going to look so we got the engine in and basically the whole rear.
Cradle in and it looks amazing now - that's all welded up so now. What we need to do is just reinstall everything and then start on the wiring. Well, Jason's been grinding away in the wire. It's going pretty well, it's time to move on to the exhaust again we're partnering with DG.

We got this ninja 250r mufflers, one of the first time we're using the right muffler for the right engine and not just kind of a general muffler. So that's gon na be pretty cool. We're hoping this thing sounds sweet, but we got a little bit of modification to do before we get this into fifth, oh, this is going to be one of the more difficult things we have with this car. Basically, because we have so much like pipe and everything to fit in such a small package because it needs to flex around the upper frame.

So basically, what we're going to do is we want to retain the stock collector, so we can kind of keep the same air flow to the i-4 factory. So what we're gon na do is we're going to just try to cut all of this out and reweld in our collector to make this pipe much shorter for about the last hour. So if I'm making up this exhaust, this is kind of the bigger things we had issues with. Basically, what I had to do is cut off the collector of both ends and basically just reshape basically how the collector went in instead of being vertical and made it horizontal.

So we could clear some of our frame stuff, but now our Digimon are just kind of perfectly it's going to slide on here with the springs and then we'll be sure to add a little support bracket. But what we're going to do now is do a little flex test with the air box and the muffler on just to make sure everything clears at full articulation, but we're really happy with how this is looking, I'm having our radiator. We had some problems with the fans sticking out the back so on the original blankets, a puller fan coming from the front, so you kind of wanted to have it like sticking up the back right here, but the problem was we'd have our hoses. That would have to have flex with the Kart they'd be facing backwards.

So we decided to do. Is we're going to flip the fan around and we're going to put the radio trace in this one. So we're gon na have a cool passages going that way and then the fan will still be pulling backwards, which will go with kind of the airflow of the card itself and it should work good alright. So we got the radiator tacked in and we have the airbox just kind of mocked up and it's really tight, but it should work if you can flex.

If you see the Flex right here, it only goes away, so we should be perfect, should have no problems. See how with the radiator welded up fix the airbox, there's the radiator all mounted up. It's really solid. I love how it's going to look with the fan in the back.
You can see it whirling around and stuff, so we kind of give it like a prerunner truck look. So we did is just a 2 upper mounts of tool arm mounts and we have a little tab for the fill cap plus the hooker hose mount so Jason's hard. It worked on the airbox and once he has, that mounted in with its support bracket, we'll be able to run the radiator hoses and really just get one step closer to firing. This thing up so to finish the air box mount it's pretty simple, but it works really well, so now we're going to route our radiator hose.

So we have this one up top that's going to run to the top of the engine right here and then we have the lower one which will probably have to route either over the top and around we're kind of around her back hoop. But we just kind of need a flex it and make sure everything's going to work and then we'll figure out what's the best solution for that yeah, and that gives us a ton of flex like in every direction, though they'll beat enough yeah sweet. Well, I would love to fire this thing up in this video, but they're still we're only halfway there and you tell the bill to shift your cart before you know. Half the battle is basically just getting all the systems to, like.

You know run inside your frame a face like a full engine swap on like a car or something so basically, we have all the major components there. So that means we're pretty much 50 % to hearing this thing around in here. In this video we did. We made basically, we made the entire exhaust from the header down with our Digimon Fleur we've mounted the fuel tank.

We mounted the battery. We basically got the radiator in and all that stuff. The airbox in the next video you'll hear this thing running and it's going to be awesome, so stay tuned for that. Thank you to our sponsors.

Dg Performance Exhaust and go power sports as well as off-trail and pro tools be sure to check out any of the parts you saw we're used in the description and also I'd like to still tell you, I'm filming this on Saturday on a post video on Sunday. We had a little. We were pretty busy recently Joe, actually just graduated college at Texas Tech. He got his bachelor's of Architecture, he's going to stay on and do a master's program there.

So he still got two more years of school, but we've been busy with all the graduation stuff we just wrapped up finals, but now we're back it's winter break. Every video from now on is going to be basically just right on time. We're kind of done with stockpiling, honestly, I think it kind of hurt our quality and I think we can make it work with driving home. Maybe we'll make two or three videos in advance, but basically just what that means is keep giving us suggestions, because we're basically making our videos live now, so continue to keep out, keep an eye out for every something uploads we're going to try to stick to that.
As best we can school permitting, but thank you guys for watching see you next time.

    Kinda wish there was a way to modify the carbs on that engine to be better without spending 800 dollars on a makuni… i love my ninja but she could use just a few more mph.

    Your gas tank brackets will eventually break off

    Haters gonna hate! Hair looks good, dance moves on point, and buggy lookin fly. 🤘 💯

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Willie Rule says:

    Don't forget to gusset the roll bar in every portion that's above you like your belly button your belly button and up needs to have Dustin so I can tell that there's none up there but the lower portion looks like it has some nut roll bars not very big so you definitely need to strengthen it with some gussets good job though guys are doing awesome with this really cool

    Drinking game: every time they say "basically".

    I am wrapping up my fuel tank fab on my ninja build . I thought you might want to keep the stock airbox , I tried using velocity stack setup , CV carbs just need that stock airbox .
    have fun with the wiring, it was a challenge for me. The build looks great

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars peter amberley says:

    Dude wheres your self respect ? Get that mop sorted out !

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joshua Shreeve says:

    I'm going to tell you guys right now that fuel petcock is not going to be enough flow for that motor we're having an issue with a Polaris Sportsman 500 where the fuel flow coming from that exact fuel tank is not enough for the engine to run properly at high RPM we changed the fitting and put a nipple on it and an inline filter and it works a lot better

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Coyote_450f says:

    it doesn't mater if the fan is pulling air or pushing it through the rad

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Heimlich Hot rods says:

    Moto mule is right👍 I’m still working on the last 20% 😂on thing cool about something you build yourself is it never has to be done you can always improve it 😎👍🤘🏻🚗💨💨💨💨merry Christmas guys🎄

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars humito768 says:

    the radiator fan is supposed to blow towards the motor pulling colder air from the outside not viseversa because you will pull hot air from the engine and run hot all the time!!!!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kaisertown guy says:

    Have you guys considered a watts link in liu of that panhard bar on the rear? It would provide way beter handling and looks liek it would be easy to implement on the duece.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeremy Mcnally says:

    Congratulations Joe and thank you to the rest of the guys for all the hard work you out into the videos for all of us to enjoy while you are in college!! Keep up the hard work!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Hambrick says:

    It's looking good guys.Cant wait to hear it run.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BryDuhBikeGuy says:

    Congratulations on the Degree.!Dancing gets a B+(No spins).Not even going near the"Allota pipe to put..">The Top radiator hose doesn"t come from the OUT of the motor,in back,and the bottom feeds the top?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erik Andersen says:

    Dude you think it’s time for a haircut or maybe that’s the style that in Texas love the build keep working hard guys

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Moto Mule says:

    Argh, I gotta wait another week to hear it run!!! 😆 Boy oh boy, I know how long this part of the process takes…. The last 20% of a build takes 80% of the time… Keep it up guys!!

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars geoffreyjones2000 says:

    Paint it a bright colour Happy holidays fellas

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars connor says:

    Just get rid of the air box a Use k&n air filter

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars theozman38 says:

    You guys are really rocking with this build. I was watching you guys put the rear end back on and noticed it’s only attached by the big eye bolt to the frame? I’m sure you smart gentlemen have thought of this but if your trying to grab traction or really hard on the throttle, is the rearend goin to kick sideways? Looks a bit out of control if ya know what I mean? You wanted flexibility to really help with goin where you want but isn’t it goin to be a bit wonky ??

    Just saying guys.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars justlive56 says:

    Finally, been waiting and wondering when you would upload the deuce video.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Terry J says:

    I would suggest you mount a fire extinguisher between the seats with the nozzle pointed at the motor. With that gavity feed fuel tank and all the movement hoses can slow come off and leak all over. Remember when RedBeard BBQed his buggy.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheMadWookiee says:

    Why do you have the hot rad close to the carb air intake cool air makes more power

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rouge Eternal says:

    Build break repeat I have a question to ask you what is you intro song because I love it just like your videos

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars InsideOfMyOwnMind says:

    If that's a thermostat in the middle of that upper hose you might want to either make sure it has an internal bypass or install a bypass hose so it doesn't overheat waiting for it to open.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Higgins says:

    Been looking forward to this and please put rubber under the fuel tank mounts thank you

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Build Break Repeat says:

    We were super busy with finals last week and Joe graduated! From here on stay tuned for weekly uploads every Sunday at 9pm central!
