scottyMIz Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 What do you guys think?After trying to put it on my go kart(racing)i had to try again.I was thinking about my 73 harley davidson snowmobile the original engine blew before i got the sled and i had to replace it twice so far.I have a yamaha 440 on it now but it just doesn't have the power.I was thinking the turbo i modded for my 5 hp briggs could be easily converted to my sled.Well i know some if not all are saying what the @#$% is he thinking or just laughing but i want to try.Has anyone seen a turbo sled?Or heard of one? i haven't but if someone has i'd like to see it for ideas.The exhaust is alot bigger than my briggs engine and there is two cylinders instead of one and each cylinder is twice the size of the briggs i think it might work.I have alot of room and the maximum boost book i have should help alot with the rest.Plus the added expirence with my car is a bonus.The briggs under full load and full throttle could only produce about 2psi and that's what it needed to run anyless and it would have stalled or been pulling the compresser side instead of being pushed from the exhaust turbine.The briggs exhaust size was only about 1" and the yamaha engine for the sled is about 2" or so and there is two of them. I can make the exhaust header and intake tubing i think it will be scary if it works. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any info.

Guest Anonymous Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 Well sounds cool, I have no info really, but a 100 cu in. Aftermarket Harley Evo V-Twin would rock in there, and turbo'ed heh..Nuts. Have fun! Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted October 8, 2001 Author Share Posted October 8, 2001 Hey lone it would be cool but those engines are expensive.I thought of getting a belt driven motorcycle engine but i priced a used one and just about crapped my pants. If i can get it to work i'll try to post pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 Yeah, please do post pictures. Yeah I know I was kidding, even a black basic 80in evo from harley is better than 2k for the engine alone. Thats why I didn't build a bike, because I THOUGHT I couldn't afford it. Boy was I wrong... Oh well, the Z is better in the rain (well its dryer, crazier to drive though), and faster than my sporty anyway. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
