Thought id share some pics of my new toy, its a tony kart thats been lengthened 40cm with a gsxr750 motor. I used a calliper off my lancer and a clutch mastercylinder off a silvia frontcut for the brakes with a braided line i had made up. The throttle and clutch cables also had to be made up. This is the first attempt and there are a few small things im going to change to make it better, first thing will be the gear ratio. In 3rd you let the clutch out give a bit of gas and it fries the tyres. Had some trouble getting it to run good with the short exhaust on it and the free flowing air filters it was running extremely lean on the main jet, so far we have drilled them out to 2mm but its still got some more left to go. Im thinking of putting the t25 turbo from the front cut i got on it later but gotta finish my lancer project first lol.

Looks awesome. a mate built one similar, they are really a bit silly, there is no way they put any power down, it will still be wheelspinning at 140km/h regardless of what gear ratio you put in it. Just be carefull, the shorrt wheelbase means that they are keen to turn around, and at 100km/h they can step out and flip in about .1 second.

Looks pretty cool Russell, i used to have a shifter kart with a ducati 848 motor - V-twin FTW :google:

Its an interesting set up, i take it the motor is a pre 98 750 motor???

Yeah its a 93 model motor. Burnt a new set of tyres off it today and its unreal fun but tyres dont last long enough.

Where did you run your kart at?

:( yeah tyres dont last long when your having some fun with these things, probably one of the only downsides really.

I ran mine of a couple of karting tracks here and also took it around Baskerville (full race track) for a bit of fun as well. It did see the "occasional" street use but was always out of well established housing areas so we didn't annoy anyone :)

Gixxer kart is cool, my first shifter kart was powered by an 02 gixxer 1k motor which i sold so i could build the 848 (V-twin FTW :( )

I'll try and dig out some pics to post up :D

hehe.. man that is seriously over powered! can I have a go?

I'm building a off road buggy with a 1.3L in it... should weigh in about 350kg (if i can keep the weight down, also depends how much i can strip off the engine!) Wont be as crazy as that little machine, but will feel like it on dirt!

Good on ya!

This is my toy that i have created.

2005 model yfz450 atv with a 2006 model zx10r engine.

ive had it to 230 kph across a paddock several times, and

also 160 kph wheelies are a breeze.

have a look on youtube under yfz10r for some vids.

so grandmasterb tell me more about the ducati 848.

im looking for that exact motor for my next quad.

where did you get one from and how much was it?

pm if u like.

Looks like a pretty wild conversion Darren :dry:

I purchased a written off 848 to pull the motor/box out of to use from auction. I had actually one out there to bid on something else but then got crazy thoughts when i spotted it :huh:

I was lucky that no else bid on it so it only cost me $1300 which i couldn't really complain with as there were a couple of other things that i sold from the bike that were still in good condition :bunny:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
