NOS on a go kart

[tom-m]

Have got an oldish go kart sitting about in my garage. does about 50 with the engine i got on it at the mo. Not to bad for a 160cc. Its a honda gx160 4 stroke. Wish pushes out around 5.5BHP Do u recon it would be posible to run small amounts of nos init with out blowing it up???

 

[Griff]

I dont think they make jets small enough tbh mate.

 

[tom-m]

oh right! Anyone no for sure? Are the jets what determin the amount of NOS going through the engine like 50 75 100....

 

[Griff]

yup and working on the traditional theory you would want a 2 or 3bhp jet making a total of a whole 8 or 9bhp.

 

[MaLicE]

u can get nos kits for goped scooters, that are little jets u would want 1 of them, come with an ikkle bottle also

Now thats a Kart! Not a Go-kart as u put it!! Lol. Dont worry every1 calls it that. This is me this year, March. NOS Would never work, These engines are so highly tuned, 125cc pushing out 46Bhp thats 0-60 in 2.8 sec. 6 Speed. min weight 140kg.

Tom the motor u hav is from a Pro-kart, Twin engine. Pile a shi*

Ha ha I would be posdting a pic of me in a kart evebn if i was a PRO but karts are a good laugh. Especialy on the main road!!

 

[BenR]

which pic is him, as neither are gearboxed karts.

I stopped karting competitively a few yrs ago, still have my 125 boxed kart, but its rather tatty now and just used for a laugh. Still, when you move onto circut racing, NOTHING and i mean NOTHING is as fast as the karts you jsut left...........

Top 1s Last years S1 in Rotax Max. (Me)

Bottom 1s ICA. (Simon Andrews)

Cant find a Gearbox pic of me, well a decent 1 anyway. And yeah the acceleration is....Youd hav to try.

 

[tom-m]

so is it posible to run nos in it or will it kill the engine completely??? just small bursts of it? i

 

[Ali]

What u got to lose...I dont know much about NO2...But the Hondas a 4 stroke, whereas we run 2 strokes??!! But if its possible in a car, im sure its possible.....Maybe!

Hav Fun.

Oh yeh, For those who hav dun donington, in the kart this year we managed a 1.16.101 at 96mph av lap time.

What time do u folk do in a 172 or valver 4 that matter?

 

[tom-m]
