Turbo Go Kart Finally Makes Boost!

[@Spaded4life13]

I am glad to see kids still messing around with shit like this give them a big thumbs up good job

[@gunnyfineproductions782]

I would personally just do a pull through system turbo boost outlet directly to the intake and only run one carb

[@kleetus92]

Yeah I don't understand what is so fucking complicated about this...

[@flatbeddingwithchris5314]

I agree with this

[@87weberdrex]

Came here to comment this. They are making it way more complicated than necessary.

[@Jason_Bacon]

Yup, one draw through and call it a day. All the problems would be solved.

[@ENZEEVIDS]

the problem with that set up is the fuel droplets, instead of remaining atomized and gas like, all the way to the combustion chamber, condense on any of the surfaces that it flows over so in the end you end up with a mixture that is no longer stoichiometric. obviously the longer the intake tract the more surface area there is to cause problems.

[@benhawke7231]

When you place the carb after the turbo, it blows the fuel back into the the float bowl and can blow the seals of the carb and fuel out of the float overflow. If you're going to keep the 2 carb set-up, then run the the pre-turbo carb wide open all the time and use the second carb as the throttle control or vice versa. Also on the idle carb on the boost side, you should block off the float over flow and any non-jetted ports leading to the float bowl. But I recommend getting rid of the second carb on the boost side and getting a lectron carb and placing it on the intake side of the turbo. Lectron carbs are self tuning and work amazingly for carb turbo setups.

[@BuildBreakRepeat]

Ben Hawke Yeah, that’s why we attempted to pressurize it by putting that screw in there. We still had issues with that though.

[@benhawke7231]

@@BuildBreakRepeat You should use a lectron carb. It's self tuning and works great for turbo setups.

[@BuildBreakRepeat]

Ben Hawke I’ll look into it thanks.

[@sirbow2]

@@BuildBreakRepeat You missed one more part, the fuel tank must be pressurized as well, otherwise the boost will push the fuel back into the tank or atleast prevent more fuel from coming in.

[@sinformant]

Scoffing evidence setup would help. They have setups specifically for putting a Turbo on a small engine.

[@ROTAXD]

Y'all are making this build far more complicated than need be. Put the Mikuni directly onto the turbo air inlet. Connect the boost side directly to the engines intake. Plumb exhaust and jet up as needed. So long as the turbo draws air through the carb instead of forcing air/pushing air through it you'll be fine.

[@vortex812]

Do it with just the draw through. No blow through.

[@treykilgoreiscool]

You can always divert boost pressure to the gas tank and keep the whole fuel system pressurized, that would keep the carb able to pull fuel through

[@FenrirTechniq]

I'm turboing a roadster reverse trike and was thinking g of doing this. And article I can read about doing this? Safety concerns?

[@treykilgoreiscool]

@CygnusHomes the safety concern is that the blow off valve may release pressurized fuel air mix (boom). You have to be really careful. The best option I can think of is having a longer boost tube than plenum to allow the expansion of the fuel air mix. You also might want to put a spark arrestor on both sides of the turbo to prevent ignition of the boost tube in the event of air fuel reaching the hot compressor

[@freshy2774]

Just use one carb ! keep the mikuni as a blow through keep that screw in the vent and run a boost reference line to the venturi then install a pulse fuel pump job done ! 👍🏻

[@drock-zg5hl]

Try using one carb at the intake of the turbo then at the exit use a continuous pipe to the in take of the engine

[@henryaurand7951]

The blow through carb will need a high pressure fuel supply if you want to do it that way. What happens is the bowl gets pressured by the intake air as soon as you make any boost and it pushes all the fuel out of the carb. Some people actually put a sealed box around the entire carb to help with help solve pressure differential issues. That being said, you should be able to make it work with just one carb up-stream of the turbo (draw through). With a properly sized and jetted carb you should be able to make it run well. I did this on a car of mine and it worked pretty well.

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

Couldnt they just run a boost line to the tank and seal the lid tight?

[@danmackintosh6325]

That would work actually, I did think for a moment that the sealed tank would draw vacuum as the fuel got used up but it wouldn't do... Mounting the carb in a plenum is an idea I've been pushing since the first turbo vid too, solves so many problems instantly.

[@munkysthrowpoop]

Azn runs the dung beetle with a draw through carb and it seems to work pretty well.

[@henryaurand7951]

fuckery abounds it could work, but then you have a tank full of pressurized air and gasoline. Very easy for that to turn into a bomb. Safety is rarely even in my top 5 priorities and I wouldn’t want to be around that.

[@danmackintosh6325]

I don't know that it would be any more or less dangerous than having fuel pressurised by a pump though really. In an enclosed space like a fuel tank the vapour/air ratio is much too high for it to be explosive, hence why it's possible to use electrical level senders and in-tank pumps without danger of explosion. I guess if the boost pressure caused the tank to rupture and spray fuel everywhere, but I don't think it's overly likely with the levels of boost this engine will run. Like you say though, a plenum and properly regulated fuel supply is the better option & what I'd go for if I could.

[@cashm4705]

need more of this in our world

[@wirewrks]

I had several experiences turbocharging carbureted small blocks back in the '80s, and I'm still turbocharging vehicles today. I highly suggest using a "draw thru" (or "wet charge") setup, over the "blow thru" (or "dry charge") setup. A single carb on the inlet side of the turbo, with a discharge pipe into the intake ("draw thru") is less complicated, and makes for easier tuning. A "blow thru" setup requires fabricating a totally sealed enclosure for the carb, so the carb's vent circuits "see" the same atmospheric pressure from the discharge pipe, that the venturi, idle circuit, air bleeds, fuel bowl and the needle/seat all "see" when under boost. Deleting the turbo outlet exhaust housing, in favor of the integral wastegate delete and wastegate puck block-off plate, will obviously cause high boost pressures. But, if you can keep it around 5-7 psi, while using the stock carb and increasing just the main jet 10-15%, you'll probably be in the ballpark for fuel requirements. BUT... after seeing the surging, low pressure and air pockets in the oil supply for the turbo, these recommendations may just be moot points. Anyway, good luck with the project. Happy Trails..!!

[@drewalsup9200]

[@joshowens727]

I’m sooooo glad I found this Channel

[@johntingle455]

People have given you some interesting suggestions. Here's one you might consider. About 45 years ago I saw a McColloch belt driven supercharger on a Studebaker Lark. The carb was enclosed in a sealed air box. The supercharger fed the air box. That way the air pressure resulting from the boost would be equal inside and outside of the carb and would not cause carb leaks. You would only need 1 (your highest volume) carb to run the engine. Fuel line and adjustment controls could be run through the air box with air tight seals , as not to loose boost pressure. That way you could make your adjustments on the outside while the engine was under boost. Of course instead of feeding the air box with a supercharger, you would use your turbo. And the wastegate could be plumbed between the turbo and air box. If it would ever open you would only vent air and not an air fuel mixture.

[@michaelkalt2912]

Eliminate the blow through carb. Put a "Y" pipe on the inlet side of the turbo. Put a carb on each side of the "Y". Then you can have one for idle and make it so the second carb comes in at 1/4 throttle or so. Kind of like a Dual Quad setup or a Mopar "6 Pack" set up. It is referred as progressive linkage. Blow through carbs don't work unless specifically built as blow through.

[@DanDan-xu5qp]

Dual quad - Mopar 6 pack ???? They are totally different. A dual quad is 2 four barrel carbs, a 6 pack is 3 two barrel carbs.

Thank you for all your great content, longtime subscriber.

[@danmackintosh6325]

Now there's some prime recycling if that's true. Being from the UK I'd never even considered smog pumps as we avoided them, but if they're a scroll compressor with decent volume then it'd be a really cool project and probably much easier than a turbo..

Your original blow through setup would work fine if you just route the carburetor vents to the compressor outlet. Also will need to enlarge jets otherwise it will run far to lean on boost. Watch my turbo welder video for more info.

[@ronbradshaw7404]

Optimal is right, use only the Mikuni carb., in a blow through design but, you won't need to enlarge the jets much, as there is now positive pressure inside the bowl of carb. Been there, done that :)

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

A blow through carburetor needs to be mounted within an air tight chamber that allows for pressurized air to not only flow through it, but to also surround it. The problems you are experiencing are due to air pressure differential. Think about how a carburetor functions through the use of venturi effect PULLING fuel through a small hole. When you pressurize just the intake runner, air is now PUSHING back through that same little hole, rendering your second carb useless. Surrounding the carb with a chamber that pressurizes at the same time as the intake tract will restore the second carb to proper function. You effectively create a small, controlled atmosphere for the blow through carb. Tricky to fabricate, but VW guys were doing this to the Beetle back in the 80's. It works.

[@bradygd]

u cant pressurize that after turbo carb u need just the one befor the trubo and get rid of the after turbo carb and jet the befor turbo carb

[@TurboTeaBagger]

You can't draw through a carb with out risking blowing up, you need to make a small box around the blow through carb and have that pressurized as well. It will not work right unless you do that.

[@ROTAXD]

JoeGrand sure you can. What needs to be done is to just use/have the throttle plate in use on the draw through carb and add fuel after the turbo (also called fuel injection).

[@TurboTeaBagger]

If your using a traditional carb.the easy and best way is to be pressurized on the out side as well with the boost. Other methods may have different. Needs, like 2 carbs wtf. I was talking about this one in particular, and blwing hot air through a carb is different than blowing fuel through a 1600 degree turbo. You run that even leaner and say good bye to you head that's a foot away.

[@kleetus92]

@@TurboTeaBagger Do you have any idea what you're talking about? the only side that's 1600 degrees (and even that's bullshit because the aluminum wheel melts as 1200) is the exhaust side. You better not have fuel over there. Seriously, wtf...

[@TurboTeaBagger]

@@@kleetus92 . Yes I know what I'm talking about, most cars fun egt at 1000- 1200 degrees. Gas flash point is in the 200s ignition is 495. So running lean and hitting 1600 on the output side is very possible , its possible to get 500 degrees on the intake side quite easily and fuel puddling on the compessor housing spells horrific backfires.

[@fm9572]

The mikuni is set up for normally aspirated flow, and not turbocharging. If you buy a carb setup already for boost, it will run much better, and you'll only need one carb and throttle. And it's cheaper than you think if you Google fu around. Great job on the fabrication and concept.

The turbine is the restriction, after the turbine you want atmospheric conditions, so yes that small ass pipe is too small. I had a Rx7 making 450rwhp out of a 1.3 liter engine. Gt35r 20psi...

@@williamkillingsworth2619 😂😂 you are right about the manifold part and the turbine being a restriction. My point was that bolting the biggest diameter pipe you can find on it does not equal more spool, it will move the graph closer to the right. A calculated and correctly tuned exhaust will give maximum spool and an optimum powerband in a required rpm range. I tested several turbo back systems on my car when struggling with a restriction problem and a 2.75" milltek out spooled a 3" milltek by 300rpm on the same afternoon on the same Dyno. It dropped around 8hp to the larger diameter. The 2.75" was resonated, the 3" was not.

One thing i would recommend is get rid of the second carb after the turbo, like many others have said, and then tune the TCT to very rich and then take out fuel as you go.

Run a line from the intake to the fuel tank vent hose to give the fuel some positive pressure. Maybe if you do that you could use the single blow through carb(with or without the screw to plug that hole).

Mini rotory gokart such a bad ass idea

[@frankw1063]

Motorheads have been converting NA carbs to blow through carbs for decades. Its very simple. Trick the carb into thinking it is acting as a naturally aspirated carburetor. You will need to: -Block off the carb vent/vents -Pressurize the fuel being sent to the carb and place an in line fuel pressure regulator controlled by boost pressure -flare a copper pipe placed in line after the turbo and before the carb (like a pito tube) that creates a slight pressure drop then run that line to the float bowl (same sensing line as for fuel pressure regulator) so that the fuel in the bowl is pushed into the "jets". -advance timing. -install blowoff valve and a wastegate -Run premium so you dont blow yourselves up and dont go above 7psi of boost without an intercooler, lower compression ratio or forged internals.

You should ditch the second carb on the turbo and run pre turbo water/methanol injection, make a intake for your turbo and mount your nozzle, mount your pump and tank. You should be able to use vacuum pressure off the turbo (not the wastegate) to tell the kit to come on and off under boost or run it off a push button/wide open throttle switch. The kits are easy to wire up and modify to work for about any set up

[@mattyadarab]

The carb works because the low pressure in it helps to atomize the fuel in an NA engine. If you have a boosted engine you have to overcome the boostpressure, (that basically means use injectors or pressurise the fuel somehow), or use a wet system like you did, but without the useless second carb on the intake

Draw through is the way to go. You’ll need a fuel pump that pushes MORE pressure than the turbo itself, otherwise, under boost it will push the fuel back out of the carb. I built a turbo beetle back when I worked for fisher buggies, 2332 with a single draw through carb. 390 wheel horsepower.

[@heru_ur6017]

Dont need that second carb after the turbo, just run one before the turbo. Since your running suck thru as the turbo sucks more air to make boost the carb delivers more fuel. And since your using that pre fuelled air it doesnt lean out. The a/f going into the turbo stays constant.

[@onesider01]

It needs a plenum aka air capacitor. Single cylinder engines are hard to turbocharge because of the pulses of intake valve opening / closing. A plenum would help the turbo spool & boost build up. The plenum’s volume needs to be three sizes larger than the displacement of the engine.

[@johnathanmiller2222]

If that carb setup is working for you fuel wise you could remove the butterfly from your "boost carb" and use it solely as a fuel carb...then hook them both up to the same throttle maybe with a vacuum actuator running in reverse (full vacuum is "closed" wide open is "open") on the boost carb...just a thought for ease of use and tunability

Guys the single carb will work. In a blow through.The problems is it needs a fuel pump to overcome the boost pressure. Under boost the gasoline is getting pushed out of the carb. So the fuel pump has to produce one psi of fuel pressure for every psi of air pressure to run correctly

Ben hawke is correct on the pressurization of the mikuni.. here is the idea here... your pressure must be equal on the atmosphere side... if you drill your charge pipe and install pipe nipples you can pressurize the atmosphere side of the carb and slide... simply hook up the atmospheric vents to the charge pipe, and drill and tap a 10/32 hole for a pipe nipple on the slide cap.. this is how we ran our turbo skidoo rotary engines.. so be sure to do the slide cap as I stated.. in early stages of our testing we did not and at 6psi it stuck the slides wide open.. it was an interesting ride... shortly after we adopted a mechanical blow off assembly as well due to lack of vacuum.. we activated a door popper solenoid off of a micro switch on the throttle block.. the popper was attached to the blow off via a cable.. it was mediocre at best, but worked every time... good luck on your venture..

😂😂 the girlish laughter got you a thumbs up!😆😆😆

there are 2 ways to do it correctly: 1 carb mounted to turbo inlet and jetting it just right. The turbo will suck air and fuel throught carb. In addicion evaporating fuel will coll down intake tube so no need for intercooler 2. Blow-through application. In order to work you'll need special carb and fuel supply pump that delivers at pressure about 2-3 psi higher that boost pressure. Mikuni carbs that you have will just leak from every gaskett possible and boost pressure will cause fuel to return to the tank.

Draw threw turbo setup is the way to this to operate, put ur carb on the turbo intake and remove the carb on the engine, run ur charge pipe from the turbo straight in to the head port ,sorted boys ,😉

So many people here saying your doing it wrong This will work at long as you increase the fuel pressure to the second carb (after turbo ) Also you could control the first carb ( before turbo) with a setup like a waste gate actuator lifting the needle with more boost Just remove the throttle plate from the first carb to let more air in no matter the throttle position Its better to have the main amount of fuel close to the engine for easy starts

On a blow through carb the vent of the carb needs to see the same pressure as is in the hat(carb inlet) otherwise you won’t get a pressure -difference at the Venturi to pull any fuel. With your set up using a second carb to keep the engine running. If you don’t boost reference the blow through vent that carb will likely push the contents of its bowl out the vent. Second with a blow through set up you need your fuel supply pressure to be greater than your boost pressure otherwise you’ll get no fuel supply and if you keep it going long enough you’ll pressurize your fuel tank. You can avoid those issues by running the pull through only but you’ve already seen the tuning issues. Blow through is the best way to do this. But you need a fuel pump, a rising rate boost referenced fuel pressure regulator, and you need to boost reference your float bowl vent. Don’t trust me though, if you’re students at A&M I’d expect you to be able to draw a picture of the system and convince yourselves
