Hey guys,

you probably have already seen it but if you havnt, have you seen the gixxer kart videos?

apparently its a suzuki gsxr engine in 130kg go kart frame.

GIXXERKART

Technical data:

- was a racekart 125 ccm

- Engine GSX-R 1100

- 1100 ccm 115 PS

- Weight about 130 Kg

- Disc-brakes front and rear

- Topspeed about 170 km/h

- Acceleration 0-100 km/h below 3 seconds

- naturally everything self-made

anyone ever seen anything like this? in time im seriously considering building something like this myself. could you imagine the fun of a go kart that can go 0-100 in under 3 seconds?

I'm thinking about building myself one, kinda a long term project.

im an apprentice electrical fitter/mechanic for energex but im hoping to learn welding etc and put one of these together.

from what i have been reading, the majority of the work likes in designing a suitable chasis and mounting system to ensure equal weight distrubution.

If your taking all the parts, breaks engine etc from a working bike it cant be that hard to make it all work on a kart...... *thinks*

apparently in the states there is quite a large following of people who put high powered road bike engines into karts.

all i gotta do now is find a decent and running road bike and become friends with an engineering student so he can steer me in the right direction to get the chasis up to strength.

Also thinking, in the movie he appears to be changing gears with a car like shifter, wonder how he hooked that up and also hooked up the clutch.

the cart is push button start, i have heard that centrifical? cluthes come on as power is applied?

anyone here have experiance with these?

It looks like a sequential shifter to me, which means he could still be using the donor bike's gearbox. And I think there's a lever on that handle, which would mean its still a hand clutch that they've affixed to the shifter instead of a handlebar.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
