Game Changing Race Engine! The Tillotson 225

Do a burnout build and take it to the freedom factory when its open.

Yes that would be cool

yooooooooo what an idea!!!!! THEY SHOULD USE THE RAIL 670 engine

Hell yeah brother or just to cleetus n cars in houston

Y’all need to find a old go kart track and buy it. You could sale your merch and have meet and greets there. Maybe have your own parts store there as well.

Found one listed for free in my local Facebook marketplace just yesterday and there was about a million comments on it in the first 10 minutes. I got a feeling that guy ended up getting money for it lol.

[@NubsWithGuns]

Dyno sheets are TP, Dyno is a tuning tool not for bragging rights. HP isn't real.

[@n8nkqrp595]

Of all your builds.. this one did something to me and I don't know why. Man.. this thing is WICKED. Impressive. Very impressive, boys

[@jimciancio9005]

Pretty cool dyno chart! That's a definite torque monster!!! It's making its peak torque at upwards of 6500 and it's a pretty flat smooth curve all the way up! Hence why it's such a power house! I'm definitely sold on that, someone did their homework on this combination where it has the best of both worlds top bottom and mid range power! Very very nice to see! Thanks again guys for the demonstration video!

[@Tampaboys]

Great engine thanks go power sports . You guys make this possible for all of us the go cart community would not be where it is today without you guys. Awesome job

[@WildfoxFabrication]

its amazing what a difference location makes. I don't know why but I like this yard way more. this video is a lot more enjoyable than the last ten or so! 😃

[@JoshTHankins]

Old testing grounds.. Wasn't John getting a new place where they can drive?

[@jacksmiththeboss]

Certified Ripper. That thing is fast and sounds good.

[@buddylee19082]

Idk if you guys sped this video up during editing but; MY GOD, THAT THING IS COOKING!!!!!! I've never seen another of your builds LOOK like it's moving that FAST through your "GP" course!? WOW! That was awesome! Great video guys!

[@allensandven0]

That’s the perfect kart & engine combo for my dirt circle track my grandson and I have been working for a few years now , it’s a small almost circle just under 1/20th of a mile but with compact clay soil we can run the cushion wide open if we get the set up right . We meaning my 13 yo gs and I’m hoping nothing brakes , falls apart or the cushion gets to packed and it starts climbing the wall . All of them we install roll cage and 5 point harnesses, kill switch. The home build karts are running stock 212’s with the no cost mods and the all run a bit better in one form than another but on the circle the oldest kart saved from a scrap pile is fastest regardless of swapping engines , but has the worst breaks and a inch of ground clearance . I wish I could order six of them identical so when all the grandkids show we can have good racing ! It’s a real chore to get 4 race ready and never have we had all of them make it 20 lap race without something causing DNF infact we had one win by default from last place and rookie powder puff would be a stretch for her ability’s slow and steady will get you to the podium here every time. The pit crew gets tired easily!

[@jaelfragoso1537]

Finally I beeen waiting on a review on this for so long so I could decide if I could buy it

[@albertoreyes4114]

"This Thing Is A Ripper, Sir !"

[@holdenrice9694]

If you put on a torque converter then you'd be stronger in the low-end and be able to use a smaller rear axle sproket. I think you could get the top speed to 70 with that setup and should do a top speed run video.

[@jimciancio9005]

That's Awesomely impressive for a 225! 17hp? Huh? It is making that and then some the way it sounds and performs! Definitely going to check into that from Go Powersports! Awesome video and amazing performance out of the box without a doubt! Especially for a centrifuge clutch setup that is what blows my mind! Thanks guys really appreciate all the fun and information you pass forward, lol. If we could all have that much fun at work LMAO!?! Keep up the amazing work guys! Sincerely, a viewer since your very first video! Thanks!

Would you recommend putting on a Coleman mini bike?

[@TononiaWorld]

no traction = torque - grip, fix reduce torque by installing a smaller wheel sprocket, and/or bigger wheel with lower psi ( say 12 psi) it will also give you a smoother ride. also increase top speed.

[@Gordonseries385]

That's what I like about this yard is no hay bails lol

[@brandon2076]

A 70% increase in HP from only a 6% increase in displacement over the 212cc Tillotson really seems unlikely. A side by side drag race between a stock Predator 212, a 212 Tillotson, and a 225 Tillotson is a must at this point. Same cart/platform, same gearing, and ballast for even weight. Somebody has to do it!

[@focustuner10]

That's a nice engine but I think that I would rather build one myself. Seeing what kinda power you can build is half the fun!
