150cc TURBO Go Kart Build | Part 1

[@itsmikelake]

IT’S BACK! So hyped on the new setup 😍. Also, check out our FAKE Lamborghini build here - kzbin.info/aero/PLLrSI6tzPmgG3d_RWqSknsDEFt_-p6ezF&si=OAG4a2YXEmeYUb7f

[@brianmosleyb9104]

A Z22 cam has more lift and duration than stock, would probably be good for boost! For 30 bucks it's worth checking out mike

[@reeseedwards6932]

Can you make an in-depth video on how you have done the wiring to adapt the efi kit

[@TG_01]

As a motorcycle tuner here on Philippines, I suggest to upgrade valve springs, forge pistons, connecting rods.. try higher lift cams and put a valve pocket on a piston.... Lower your compression to 9:1 upgrade a larger throttle body don't adjust the ignition timing for back flames... 150cc Natural aspirated engine here Are 18HP if that 150 cc turbocharged got more power than our 150 engines here. Then that's the go kart

[@93Petey]

Maybe thicken the head gasket, try lower the compression ?

[@TomBudin]

+1 this comment or double head gasket (not the best) but it works

[@DustySteel]

A thick copper gasket could be made pretty easily. Why a lower compression though? People run boost on high compression motors as well.

[@lanecorley8680]

​@@TomBudindouble base gasket not head

[@DustySteel]

@@lanecorley8680 I’ve seen people change the base gasket. Why that over the head gasket?

[@dawsongiardino2802]

The timing chain will be too short if you put a thicker head gasket on

[@MarcSarraf2889]

Man I missed the drift cart series I love it a lot , its my dream to make a similar build but on a larger scale

[@itsmikelake]

I hope you do! They’re such a fun budget build

[@eljaibas16]

Hey man you can actually clutch kick semiautomatics, just push the lever to get into gear but keep it pushed, then you can rev the engine and let go of the shifter. Keeping the lever pushed keeps the centrifugal clutch disengaged.

[@hanzalapatel703]

Waiting for part 2

[@LukesRandomShit]

Fun fact. you can still "clutch kick" with these semi autos. just hold it up in gear and it will hold N and let you free rev. almost perfect for a kart when you thick about it. just hold to free rev in any gear.

[@AndyKPOV]

I used to do this on a old pit bike I had with a 3 speed semi auto. There's a sweet spot in-between gears.

[@L4BRADOR]

Add a small bullbar in front of the intercooler!

[@JulesGryczewski]

Don't want to be going through intercoolers

[@MRONETEN]

My gosh! Your right that looks so much better than the 125 motor and I know that semi autos rip the crud out of the road so this will definitely shift. I can’t wait to see this blow all expectations out of the water.

[@icanseeyouallfromuphere]

You guys that do KZbin car videos are absolutely brilliant, I'd totally lost half my knowledge of all sorts of stuff thanks to a brain injury that got worse, I found out I could of died at any point since I got the brain injury! Since I've been watching I've remembered everything and the laughs behind motor vehicles is fitting into my psychology again 😂 so now I've designed a full car build [with Turbo conversion] to do when I finish my motorcycle projects 👌🏻💯

[@FenrirTechniq]

Let's get that ecu file for your dedicated followers wanting to build the same!

[@itsmikelake]

You want the tune file?! No problem!

[@FenrirTechniq]

Would love the file M8, doing a reverse trike turbo!

[@FenrirTechniq]

Any luck with the file Mate!?

[@Nineplayeverything103]

Hey! I watched your videos recently and i recommend 125 isn’t enough for you guys so I suggest ”190 Daytona” engines ,hop you see this!

[@tahnjacobson3205]

I believe that when you're selecting gears with these motors they have neutral in-between gears so say you hold your gear lever rather than just pulling and releasing straight away you should be able to use that as a clutch if ever needed

[@itsmikelake]

Really?! That’s very cool! Good to know 👌🏻

[@tahnjacobson3205]

@@itsmikelake yeah it is pretty cool! Unsure how good it is for the gearbox but it’ll be a good time finding out 😂

[@koutros100]

Love this kart build and the new motor looks fantastic. One thing i would consider is valve spring upgrades to stop the valves floating and breaking. Good luck My brother.

[@Sparkythefox_]

im so happy you brought back the go kart, this is where i was introduced to your channel and loved every episode. keep up the awesome work!!

[@itsmikelake]

I’m hoping to keep on pushing the limits of this thing so content should keep flowing for a while 🤝🏻

[@JDMv8]

Hey man! Love the build I got a 200cc quad i turboed it’s carb still! If you want more boost you need to make a air capacitor tank before the intake, 2&4 strokes gotta have it for boost gotta make the tank 3-10x the cc of the motor for instance I built a 600+cc tank for mine! I got a gt1446 turbo on mine now 😅

[@butterflyfpv]

Nice project! Proper turbo installation..

[@DirtBikeKid124]

So good your bringing it back

[@deepvoicebanton1]

😢Dave I never saw it from the old videos so now I'll go back and watch all the old ones I have time today I have memories with my friend REST IN PARADISE thanks Mike 🤜🤛🏾

[@julxay]

Bro this thing is sick ! I’m mad I didn’t get to see y’all burn up pavement in this video 😭 but I have to ask can you build a mid engine one with 2 seats for the adult kids here 😁

[@paulfoster553]

Should have gone with a 190cc or a 212cc

[@ManiacRacing]

Another thing to remember is a new head and top end for the blown engine will only cost a few bucks. Well worth fixing and having as a spare. Turbos tend to break stuff as you well know....

[@s1mon461]

Dad before mom nerf

[@MrPeterheveran]

Great video as always. You could drop the plastic body of a ride on car on to the kart. I'm thinking a lambo body. Big Scamborghini and a little Scamborghini.

[@itsmikelake]

I’ve been searching for something like this! 👀

[@MrPeterheveran]

@@itsmikelake marketplace. Get a kids ride on car. You just want the body. Imagine rocking up to an event with the scambo and baby scambo. That's a showstopper. Love all the builds. You have the skill and have a great personality for presenting.

[@fabio77809]

Go Mike I'm liking this project too 👍

[@Realized-Cam_444]

When you blew up your last motor it might be due to valve float. This happens when you turbo or upgrade your engine and at a high rpm’s the valves stay open instead of closing. So when you do stuff to the engine I highly recommend to put heavier valve springs. And by doing this it will make it faster too.

[@kryexhc5193]

hell yeah bro!!!! im so hyped to see this!!!!!!!

[@Smoked_5L]

I can't keep watching this video, and then check out the other videos. Because I've already watched the other videos!!!

[@itsmikelake]

Haha well thanks for watching them!

[@Smisky]

100km/h!?! 40km/h in my big go kart is scary 😳

[@itsmikelake]

Yeah 40km on this is scary too 😅 but on a track we’ll give it a crack!

[@298CRE8]

Should've gotten a yx150 160 or zongshen z155 etc with larger or more valves they allow lots mods 🎉😢

[@dawsongiardino2802]

That’s what I’ve been saying this whole time! The Kawasaki style head flows way better and makes more power. Or better yet a zongshen 190 or Daytona 190 would have been sick on this thing turbo charged

[@BradleyArnold-s2k]

its 1:15 am where im at

[@HockingVideos]

hay i take to old motor off your hands mate. 😁

[@GravitySandwich]

These little engines love to have floating valves around 8k RPM. Make sure to stay below that or get stronger valve springs. This is what killed your last engine.

[@itsmikelake]

Very interesting! So you think set the limiter around 7800?

[@GravitySandwich]

@@itsmikelake It depends honestly. I'm not sure what brand the engine is that you bought now, but i would recommend listening very closely to when it starts to float since it is noticable in performance and you can hear it pretty well. Not sure under boost, though. Since these engines are quite cheap i would just let it rip!

[@emanh4keem_san420]

u can add more gasket to lower the compression ratio for turbo application its like normal thing for bike moped world

[@itsmikelake]

That’s a great idea! I didn’t even think of this 🤔

[@Illminis]

You should do a tuning video for this ecu I just bought the same kit and there's not a single video out on how to tune with it. Can you hook a wideband up to it anyway because in the instructions it says wideband is not available and I hear tuning by narrowband can be tricky.

you wish 🤭 (I would shatter the frame)

[@pitbullgamer8116]

It's exactly the same engine just a bigger head and piston so therefore you're probably gonna have the same problem unless you replace that piston with a better one

[@itsmikelake]

The last motor dropped a valve probably from all of the two stepping 🤣🤣

I am building mine from a miniquad, but mine is electric, it does not reach so much speed but it has a lot of acceleration, economical VEVOR engine and 48V battery I still need the saddle to arrive,🤔 I will assemble a small video when it is finished and we will test if it works, then I will disassemble it completely to create a stunt kart type drift kart 😍😍Your project has been perfect as inspiration and I hope to be able to bring some video to the platform so that the chain does not break

[@Mark__IZHK2005]

If the old piston hit the valve,they were not properly adjusted

[@DrivewayMechanics]

Hey Mike awesome channel bro, where did you get the ecu and throttle body kit? I’ve looked everywhere for efi for small karts and no luck?

[@justchipsfishing8951]

I feel like you should just scrap the frame and build your own. The original frame is beginning to look very tacky against all the new parts. I know it's meant to be a "budget" build but I think we are part that now haha

[@itsmikelake]

Hahaha you’re not completely wrong here 👀 but I like the spirit of the frame in a weird way 😅

[@justchipsfishing8951]

@itsmikelake fair call. I just feel you would personally be able to build a sick looking strong frame. Your call tho 😅🫡

[@FaRnorThCrew]

It really dosnt matter what you do to these engine they won’t last long with a turbo these engines are one hit wonders but alsome for kids to work on to learn how engines work but I had a clone Honda 50cc and Honda 50cc and they both look the same other then the clone looks like it was pull out of a mould and put together without prep work and some parts felt lighter then the real Honda and the clone Caby are rubbish

@@DustySteel it's bc the compression is way too high for these smaller China motors it's just better safe than sorry to decrease the compression a bit as the turbo will make up for the slight loss of compression as these ones usually a 9:1 compression ratio and the ideal amount is like 7 or even 6:1 compression ratio
