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

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.

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:

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
