Hey Guys,

I purchased this a few years ago, I am looking at purchasing another car so thought I would throw it up to see if there was any interest to add some coin to the kitty.

I got it without a motor and it remains without a motor. I purchased it from the Car Doctor (who also sells karts etc) and have not used in in the 4yrs that I have had it.

Here are some shitty pics. if you would like more information, please let me know.

Specs I do know...

TopKart

All but motor

Seat is suitable for child or skinny bloke. I squeeze in tightly (was a loose fit but am now 75kg (fatty :O ) - 5ft 8"

you could contact the car doctor... he would be able to point you in the right direction for a new or used motor.

I believe it is a J engine, but I think you could use any go-kart motor really... just depends what you want to do with it... I was actually thinking about putting some big rims on it and using on the grass.

do you know what sort of motor you need for it? or where to get one to pop straight in? cheers

J & clubman are pretty cheap new & 2nd hand or you could strap a 5+hp lawn mower engine on it :D

Unless your thinking about racing i wouldn't worry too much about what motor you use if its only going to be for fun. You would probably be better steering away from a proper kart motor if its just going to be a weekend toy.

"IF" you really wanted to bite the bullet it would make a great base for shifter kart :P

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
