yeah i had a 49cc pocket bike with drilled out jets in the carby little pod fillter lighten flywheel racing reed valve took the top ring of the piston to drop the compreshion and made 1 of those electric turbos they sell on ebay had exspanshion chamber really high gearing had a little 12v motor bike battery bolted up to it so i could run the charger man and it went pretty hard hey had like heaps high gearing they had 1 of them speed things the council put on the side of the road around the corner from mine got clocked at 89k also running av gas

I used to own a Polini racing pocket bike which i bought at an auction. Polini is the real stuff not the chinese stuff and man, this thing FLEW.

Rolling from 10km(id wheelie off the line/single gear), i would beat my mates 97 laser to 60km/h (topped out) by 2 lengths...haha...thats pretty fast for a little bike ey?

The reason a turbo kit wont work is because you need EFI, otherwise it just leans out like a bitch. UNLESS, you do what the guys on the nitro car scene do and use the boost pressure to increase fuel pressure, infact, that could actually work. Run a +ve pressure line from the turbo out to the fuel tank to increase the fuel pressure...hmmmm....!! Regardless you would need one SMALL SMALL assed turbo for a 50cc engine. Even a turbo off one of those 600cc cars would be too big. If you had the tools, manufacturing would be the way...

Nos will work no problems, but you will need to tune the thing into mega rich. This wont help the idle out but at least when you hit that button the a/f ratios will remain good...

The best idea would be

-Nos, used to spool the turbo

-Turbo increasing FP

-tuned rich to compensate for turbo and nos

Now that, i could see working.

Sounds like a fun little project really, but quite a lot of fabrication. Custom exhaust manifold, intake, carbby, etc.

BTW, the guy in sydney, i think they installed EFI.

This is the bike i used to have, http://www.dcminimoto.com/910desmo42.htm

I sure do know how to richen up a carb, spent ages tuning my s**t for changes in weather. I never said you cant turbo a carby car, i am talking about small capacity pocket bike engines.

Tuning a carb is quite difficult on its own, without forced induction. The biggest issue i see with tuning a small capacity carby turbo engine is the turbo lag. The bitch just wouldnt spool up fast enough before the mega rich mixture at high rpms (adjusted for full boost) will cause it to bog down and underperform.

This was discussed many times on the pocket bike forums (yes, laugh away)

There are just much smarter ways to get power then turboing a pocket bike.

What RC people did was s/c the engines. www.rbinnovations.com . Now thats a good idea because the car will be able to be tuned more consistantly. Also, as i said above, you can put some pressure back into the fuel tank to increase the fuel pressure.

meh, i dont care, i have a stagea now :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
