DYNO RESULTS: IAME Super X30 175 Engine Dyno Performance - POWER REPUBLIC

[@theplatom]

High Derek, here is Tom, the Uber-Driver from Berlin. I just realised, that you asked me so many questins that I didn't know until now what yor channel is abaout. But its amazing and I like it even thoug its not exactly my field of bussines. Keep on doing this, best wishes and greetings from germany to you and the women on yor side, Tom!

[@PowerRepublic]

Hi Tom, thanks for lift. yeah the content is pretty specific for new guys getting into Karting. we have always attracted a lot of new people hungry to learn the basics. so we keep making videos every week about karts and how to fix them yourself.

[@Polyodon]

I’ve driven with this motor, it’s the most awesome thing ever! Once you’re hooked on the power delivery it’s hard to go back

[@PowerRepublic]

yeah, how sick is the wheel spin out of the slow corners?

[@Polyodon]

It’s insane, leaves most other karting engines in the dust. Are you familiar with a Rotax 160cc?

[@pablin123]

Brutal engine!

[@PowerRepublic]

tyre fryer !

[@tbaga173]

Awesome! Another category! Exactly what we need in Australia to dilute the fields down some more. It's been far too crowded on the track in fields of 3 and 4.

[@coltincraigo5007]

T Baga Same here in us (especially the super shifter). The worst part is when they mix with kz class and then just add 5lbs of weight.. not sure how they think that is fair

[@PowerRepublic]

Situation Normal. The guy that bought this doesn't race and just wanted a super fun toy to burn laps at his local club. First one I have seen and I don't think it going to effect your club days fields

[@AlanDoveKarting]

Single-make racing, and those that race in them classes, only have themselves to blame when the classes become diluted.

[@PowerRepublic]

I’m not sure that there is a direct correlation to any one particular element or race engine that should be blamed for fields size. People turning up and having a good time and telling their friends to come and join in make up the fields. Create a relaxing atmosphere, focused on fun racing without the paddock affairs has seemed to help our local clubs.

[@christosswc]

Besides the race-oriented engines, there's nothing wrong with manufacturers making kart engines for hobbyists. High cc engines that are less straiined with lots of torque that can be geared down is exactly what a hobbyist would need, though I would make a strong case against electric starters and clutches, they add cost and weight and reliability issues, exactly why the manufacturers want them.

Hi Derek! Awesome video 👍 I think I will be buying a Super X30 in the coming year. Always wanted to try one of those, they are not that popular here in Spain as most people like the KZ’s but I like automatic. Derek, I installed the EGT sensor on the DD2 and to my surprise It’s showing a temperature reading of 770 degrees with the 140cc cylinder, I know that’s a lot but it’s working perfectly, no seizing of the engine so far and if I use a bigger yet it won’t run too well, so 134 yet, needle in position 3, it’s perfect 👌 (my guess is that if you run the Super X30 or the X30 with a EGT higher than 700 degrees, you will seize the engine, I have my X30 at 650 degrees and so far so good.)

[@PowerRepublic]

Wow 770 is hummin. Great feedback, thanks for that. The 175 is a beast. With all the extra CC’s and bottom end torque, should make the acceleration incredible, especially off the tight twist corner tracks. I’ll let the guys know that EGT at 650 for the X30 is about the limit.

[@p.c.h.6721]

Power Republic The highest reading that I’ve seen for an X30 is 685 degrees, but the 685 degrees was only reached for about a second, no more than that. If you have a very long straight, you would have to adjust the carburetor exactly so it only reaches 685 degrees for a very short time, I have mine at 650 degrees just to be safe. I look forward to buying the Super X30, I wonder how the Super X30 measures against a TM KZ? There’s a lot of TM KZ’s here in Spain and at my local karting circuit.

[@bkh5746]

I cant wait to see a guy build one for a open.may even hang with brc numbers

[@kronos350]

Hi Derek I would like to know if you can compare KZ engines with this one. I have a tm10C 6 speed but I m getting too tired to drive it to the limit, plus so many things can go wrong during a track day, I m wondering if this engine could be a good compromised, I m not doing races anymore, thanks for your work.

[@PowerRepublic]

Hey have heaps of bottom end torque and are easy to drive for that reason. If you are struggling with the physical demands of the KZ then get one for sure. Heaps of fun with way less effects on the body.

[@kronos350]

@@PowerRepublic thank you so much, do you think the Same can reach top speed like the kz or its not that important?

[@andreneubauer8056]

@@kronos350 did you buy a super x30? I am from germany and had the same problem. I drove TM and MODENA KZ. but it was too physical to drive for only 5 or 6 times a year. Now i bought a new CRG KZ Chassis with the super x30. I hope this engine is fast enough :)

[@kronos350]

@@andreneubauer8056 Yes its very fast and very reliable, once you set the carburation right and a bunch of sprocket for the right track you ll fly, physically its less hard in comparison to the kz, you will be able to spend a good portion of the day, still challenging don't get me wrong. Ps suggestion, leave the braking system of the kz the engine is very very fast

[@0505abab]

I just had mine rebuilt but it wont rev up i replaced the reeds (it back fired and blew them right out ) and redid the carb (3 diff people tried ) what is the timing is it zero at tdc ?

[@PowerRepublic]

check your coil, sometimes they can be out from factory. the timing is fixed on these style engines and not adjustable

[@fririkjon7576]

Hi I need an engine for a project. problem is it needs to have peak power under 9k to use with a CVT system. 20+hp with no gearbox. A lot of GoKart engine manufactures dont say @what rpm the peak power is at. Thank you have a good day.

[@PowerRepublic]

peak power is about 9-12k for most engines

[@christianbuczko1481]

How much, and where can i find one?

[@PowerRepublic]

Christian Buczko hey mate, check these links www.mondokart.com/en/new-engines-mondokart/iame-engines-mondokart/engine-iame-super-shifter-175cc-kz.html iameengines.com/product/x30-super-shifter/

[@BK-it6te]

Do you think it’s worth buying this engine? Why the kart’s they don’t have front brakes on this category engine?

[@PowerRepublic]

good fun engine if you have the budget for a play thing. not many classes to race in. you can fit them to a shifter chassis

[@cr9169]

Were can u get one of the 175cc iame motor

[@PowerRepublic]

where you at? we have them here in Aus

[@ricardomelo4097]

This engine is reliable? The review is carried out every few hours? Thanks

[@PowerRepublic]

yeah its very similar to the standard X30

[@oguzyurdakul9019]

How much Gear Oil comes in the Engine? Is 40ml good or can i put more.

[@PowerRepublic]

Hey Oguz, thanks for tuning in. on the IAME engines, if you put more than the recommended amount it normally sprays out of the air vent hole

[@oguzyurdakul9019]

Hello from Germany, i'll buy the same engine but my Engine destroys 3 New AGM 12V - 9Ah Batteries, now im helpless. Everything is connected properly. Am i need a Lipo battery? With 14,8V and more mAh?

[@PowerRepublic]

Hallo Oguz, we use the Yuasa 12v battery (comes standard with Rotax) we use those and they are excellent

[@Polyodon]

Disconnect the battery every time when you’re done driving. The battery will drain overtime on it when you leave it connected, also they don’t need power to run just to start. Unless you have other accessoires you run on the Battery

[@oguzyurdakul9019]

@@Polyodon yes i know, i Disconnected the Battery every time when i came in to the pit Lane, but i think the problem is elsewhere but where.. 🤔

[@Polyodon]

@@oguzyurdakul9019 that’s really odd, can’t explain that either. Maybe a new wiring harness does the trick?

are u guys gonna dyno the SSE175?

Carburation? Pressure carburetor? Thanks man

[@PowerRepublic]

Do you mean the jet settings for the 175?

[@danidani-cx4dl]

@@PowerRepublic yes setting pop off Carburator pressure😉

[@PowerRepublic]

dani dani I’m not sure I haven’t had to do one yet. Do you an engine? Check the inside carb and let me know what you have and we can go from there

[@danidani-cx4dl]

@@PowerRepublic Hi friend my super x30 is always fat and does not take engine revs .. It stops 8,000 rpm and petrol in the filter .. I wanted to know if you knew the carburetor pressures to check the membranes😉 Thank you

[@aarongardiner121]

What is the top speed?

[@PowerRepublic]

about a 115kph depending on the track and gear ratio. They don't like to over rev, but they have heaps of wheel spinning torque, so in my limited experience, gear them down so they pull hard, rather than trying to rev past 15000 rpm

[@aarongardiner121]

I run one just like that one on dirt too bad I can't post a pic
