I have had a brain fart and need an itsy bitsy tiny turbo. Will be used on a single cylinder 50 or 75cc motor. (Undecided as yet). Do such itty bitty little wonders exist?

NOS is cheaper for those tiny bikes!

Japanese Kei car or Smart car is probably the closest you will get, but they're still much too big.
Have a look into the RC world.

electric superchargers...
what are they called the vortex things you plug into your air intake???
get one of them http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

But how am I supposed to mow my lawns with an electric fan??!?!

 

[VDUB2C]

No you plug it into the intake of the lawnmower's motor! Like a turbo / supercharger.....
And switch it on when you want extra POWAH!!!!

Lol - for those extra strong blades of grass....

But you have to make a Psssssht noise when you stop mowing

I had NOS on my 250cc dirt bike. Farken fantastic. I hit it once in a creek as the engine was nearly dead from sucking in water, and there was a huge NOS fountain.
The bike was sucking in the water from the creek through the air intake, and there was a water jet coming out of the exhaust, and NOS made it all possible - and I rode out of the creek.
When on the straight and you hit the NOS, fuggenell you would lift it even in top gear.

Surely that would be really bad for your rings etc compressing water.

I want to turbo a lawn mower! There is nothing insane or silly about it, now... if you canna help with serious places to get itty bitty little turbo's go suck on some NOS!

Re: Tiny Turbo (jerrah)

On that bike you had to change the piston rings after every 12 hours engine running time.

You goose, all as you do is go to the supplier and get a bigger engine. Honda can go up to 8HP. I have a 6HP on my push mower.

"More Powar!" said Tim the Toolman ... and he built a monster mower!

Im sure people put turbos onto suzuki cappuccinos and mightboys. Theres a aust mightymoy forum where you can find more info.

 

[malliemcg]

bunr: Yeah, but the cappaccino is 800cc, which is about 10x the cubic capacity of a lawn mower, i doubt the turbo would even spool up :\

Re: (malliemcg)

you know this is not going to help you mow the lawn any faster!!!
Is this for a Push/self propelled walk behind or the mighty ride on mower?
So is this your project or your 'kids' project?
