You’re going to need an intake plenum(between the turbo out and throttle body)with about two liters or so of volume to build boost. Small displacement, single cylinder engines just can’t do it without intake volume.

I'm pretty sure long intake tubing with an intercooler should achieve the same results.

That engine is surprisingly complex for how absolutly tiny it is, essentially a small scale "modern" car engine at this point with all the ECU stuff and fuel injection, really interesting to see! also sick welding, you always say you are a rookie but man watch your old videos and you can see a difference in your skill, can't wait for the stu tu tu tu noises from that comically undersized beast
@coxyscustoms49794 ай бұрын
try running a ground wire from the battery to the block, the ignition system from factory will be a self contained system that runs of its own power and ground supply so adding in the ecu on an external power and ground could cause the trigger system not to function properly with the ecu. trigger wires are sensitive to background electrical noise and always require a good ground. your sensors will all run off a 5v reference voltage. make sure your 5v and 12v systems stay separated or youll cause yourself dramas like TPS being stuck on 0% or 100% also your air intake and MAP sensors could do wacky things. if your triggering with a hall effect sensor the rising and falling edge of the trigger could not be stable so find the more stable trigger edge and set it up in the ecu. should be a setting for rising and falling if the software is half decent. im assuming it would be a reluctor style trigger so you can always check the gap of the magnetic pickup also make sure it free from any iron filings. if you can get away wit it id also try running two head gaskets and maybe even port out the head to lower compression so you can run more boost! itll be hard to hear knock on such a tiny engine so better safe than sorry. or just go an octane booster additive good luck , i cant wait to see this thing rip!!!

I have some advice. those single speed engines with just drive neutral reverse have somewhat weak clutches that can overheat and blow up the whole engine easily. if your clutch/engine does blow out, then get a 4 speed manual 125 for a dirt bike, and that clutch is much stronger and shouldn't overheat the engine. Good Luck!

I don't know shot about turbo, throttle bodies, ECUs. But I have the most important advice you'll ever get. Hold it flat, don't lift off, & most importantly, have fun! Hahahahahahahahahaha One day in the truck, an hour & a quarter from home, the exhaust pipe cracked at the v band. Lost all boost, towing 65 ton. Used a spare intercooler clamp & a piece of fencing wire, strategically cut from a farmers fence to hold that exhaust pipe & regain boost. It got me home, just as the pipe was starting to come loose again. The mechanic at our yard rewelded it back on, on the Monday morning. Giggles. Using exhaust pipe wrap to reduce the exhaust heat

If you know where physical top dead center is on the ignition timing gear, then I don't see how it takes so long for the timing in the ecu to be setup correctly. I haven't seen what timing gear type you use, but in theory if your missing tooth is at 20 degrees before top dead center and you need to advance your timing to 30 degrees before top dead center... You only need 10 degrees of timing advance in the ecu... Generally if the engine does not run at all but it does pop from time to time while spinning quite easily (like yours did)... Your timing is set too late, at that point just advance timing by 10 degrees untill it runs, then make smaller changes untill it runs perfect. If your engine does not spin easily but spins in steps while your battery and starter are in good condition... The. Your timing is set to early and you should do the reverse.
