What is the smallest turbo you guys have come into contact with? Suppose i was going to turbo a gokart.....?

The kind that come on 2g eclipses are pretty small

But there are smaller. Ive seen a pic of an internally wg'd IHI (i think) completly sitting in the palm of someones hand.

 

Garret makes a t-12, but I'm sure theres some smaller Garrets also. Not to mention all the other manufacturers.

 

There's suppose to be (a rumor, coz I've never seen it) a radio controlled car 1/10 scale model, with a $6000 turbo engine in it....

 

Wow, that would be nuts, I wonder if it has a little mini front mount?

 

yeah...I heard it's insane...you've gotta be an R/C god to control the little pecker..

but these people are claiming that this is the smallest...the box is a cigarette box for reference:

ttt ..looking for more

 

IHI RHB3 off a turbo Sprint. Canucks and Hombres can look for Pontiac Fireflys, too.

Aeroquip has a line on some small ones, but they run dollars.

 

yeah..those are pretty small



Hmm...maybe sequential turbo hondas aren't so far fetched afterall with these babies

Ive seen a pretty dinky toyota turbo before...Im not sure what it came off of but the compressor housing had toyota casted into it......

And since your talking about go karts and making them sick....My buddy is gonna "turn" the key to his go-kart within the next week....he used to race go-karts and he had a Kawasaki Ninja 600 engine sitting in the corner..so he got the welder out and made things happen..haha....hes gonna be pullin mean wheelies with a 600cc go kart.....Ill try to get a picture up here of it sometime...might be a while since spring break starts this week.

Man, gokart, I'm such an idiot. Is this literally a gokart?

Use an old Ford smog pump as a blower. Run pressure line to the fuel tank so the fuel still gravity feeds properly and keep drilling out your carb jet until the plug reads nice and rich. 8+ psi is entirely possible on a regular Briggs 5 hp.

 

GReddy 15G!!!!!


BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!

That is the smallest turbo I have ever seen. It was out of an Audi A4 1.8 and it's been sitting in my basement ever since I pulled it.

 

smallest ive seen was 9b off 3000gt vr-4, fits in my hand almost.
