As a professional mechanical engineer and a car enthusiast, I love what you are doing. Keep up the great work and continue posting these videos so I can continue living out my childhood dreams vicariously through your channel.
Make sure when you build the cold side that you make a plenum the size of the cylinder with a check valve to hold the pressure in coming from the turbo. All 1 cylinder 4 stroke engines face this unique issue when turbocharged that since the turbo is spooled when the exhaust valve is opened boost is built while the intake valve is closed and creates a surge dropping pressure before the intake valve opens. Long story short it will be much more efficient and spool up faster.
To be honest i love the thorough explanation and approach.Every important step about putting the build together is included in the videos.Your welding is also remarkable,could probably get you 24 bucks an hour.❤️👍
I think there is a solution for the oil ,i have seen on grind hard plumbing co , they used a oil pump witch bolted to the head of the motor and get oil to the turbo. If your engine is the same it may be just a bolt on solution. Definitely brace the turbo to the frame,because you know the vibration s will destroy the welds no matter how strong they are. And be very patient with welding the turbo flange cuz it seems a little bit to thin and may warp do to heat. Overall good progress I did like the videos. Good luck man!
You need a pit bike oil cooler kit for your oil feed it bolts onto the side of the head and instead of running the cooler utilise the lines for oil feeds for the turbo
i think the turbo manifold pipe is to thick and airflow gets lost in there . i would go with a thinner pipe to increase the airflow and pressure to spool up the turbo faster and higher . go with the original size pipe from the exhaust .
that exhaust pipe going from the engine to the turbo might be just a tad big for a 125cc, with smaller pipes the pressure and speed of the exhaust gases are higher and spools the turbo easier
Yeah I need to tie them in for sure! I want to cut some more of the ugly stuff off and weld more steel in. Maybe paint it with the spare yellow paint from the evo 👀
That exhaust diameter might make it spool slow. Tiny single piston motor already doesn't have much exhaust velocity. The intercooler is a good idea because it'll act as a plenum for the intake charge
Do you think that the conrod and piston can handle it? (Im guessing that the gearbox should be fine, they are straight cut gears and probably used in bigger engines as well
Just started putting a turbo on my own 125cc 4 strone bike tho this bike already came with fuel injection it is gonna be a bit harder to tune. Put this thing has no problem spooling a the cheap rhb31 turbo because you can feel it fall on it’s face when it hits boost😂 but this is pretty cool to see. Interesting too see how this runs vs how my bike rund🤟🤟
if you search honda c50 turbo on yt there is a video of a guy that built a litle 50cc motorbike into a 130cc turbo with an oil cooler and everything im not sure if it has fuel injection tho. looking forward to your build for sure😁
Patiently waiting for the efi kit install, I've heard these can be a real PITA with possibly needing to switch over to a hall sensor on the flywheel for spark signal
She's coming along mint👌🔥 I remember watching the BoostedBoiz turbo their shopping go kart, they did a similar setup with the EFI as well just in a slightly bigger engine, if I remember right they used a small external electric oil pump plumbed up and fed from a separate oil tank and then drains back from the turbo back to the feed tank kinda like a fuel cell system, I can't remember if they added a oil cooler to the system or not but would be a good little addition to the diy stand alone turbo oil system👍 either way I'm sure you'll sus it out, keep up the good work mbro🫡💯🔥🔥#TEAMLAKE #TURBODRIFTKART🔥🔥🔥
Yeah boi! 100k in no time matey! Keep it up! I see that another channel pretty much used their big money and seemingly copied your project and did it all in one go 🙄 I subsequently unsubbed from their channel, LOL! Stoked to enjoy the journey with you!
Would test the EFI System first, before installing the turbo. Am havin a project like this in my plan for this year. Nice videos and interested in new ones coming! Cheers from Germany
This is absolutely false haha. Especially for the turbo charge piping. You actually need volume in the charge pipe on a single cylinder engine for it to be as efficient as possible.
Yo look into a Daytona 190cc 4valve when that 125 dies they make 22+ hp from the box and aren’t much bigger then that 125 meant for the same pitbikes that motor is could make it real crazy 😂
You need a pressure canister between Turbo and engine to make the engine run properly. Check boostedboiz Kyle's Turbo shopping Kart. Has a Turbo 225cc 5 speed with fuel management, ecu, fuel pump, injector, tune, 2 step. He did all the science for you
I’m not trying to rain on your parade. That piping is just too big. The turbo is too far away to have no lag. Sure it’ll work. But u don’t think it’s going to work well enough. The motor is just so small. Plus the type of motor. They’re only single cams. A big bore top end would be great for that. Probably turns it into a 200cc. That may be able to spool it pretty well. But not as great as it can be
@@itsmikelake absolutely. Just sharing some thoughts. I’ve made that mistake with a Lima motor putting too big of turbo on it when really I needed to put the turbo that u have on it 😂 couldn’t spoool it right 😂 I do like seeing the tiny turbos being put on them small motors. It’s interesting
Part 3 is HERE! ua-cam.com/video/6ebFGNPpqDc/v-deo.html

I appreciate this comment so much bro. I'm absolutely loving this build & the support you guys are showing. Thank you 🙏🏻
Just fuck up
It’s going to be interesting to see this all come together! FYI: Link for parts is in the description 😁

Mr lake why no shocks in the front it will ensure better handling on cornering
Brooo 12 days later where is part threeee
Perfect length video
Thanks Ben 😁

Nearly 60K subs bro! Stoked for you! Your builds have come a long way from flipping exhaust and putting turbos on them
Pushing hard bro! I appreciate that 🥰

I guess we’ll find out when we run her up for the first time 😛
This is sick 😊 I always wondered how to do an EFI on a quad
Surely ready for vicdrift comp rd. 1?
that exhaust pipe going from the engine to the turbo might be just a tad big for a 125cc, with smaller pipes the pressure and speed of the exhaust gases are higher and spools the turbo easier
I’m certainly interested to see if it works! Maybe I’ve been a little ambitious with the turbo size & piping but well soon find out 😁
I was thinking the same.
The exhaust manifold should be closer to the port diameter size.
Maybe another bit of piping at the rear of the front wishbones to the frame?
Happy trails, Cowpoke
Yeah I need to tie them in for sure! I want to cut some more of the ugly stuff off and weld more steel in. Maybe paint it with the spare yellow paint from the evo 👀
man I'm so excited for this I keep checking your channel every few hours
Dropping this week! Sorry I had a few issues 😅
@@itsmikelake hahaha no need to be sorry at all man, good things take time!
What a sweet thing, keen to see the final product!
Can’t wait to rip it! Thanks homie
Maybe you can try oil cooler adapter for turbo oil feed and return🤔
Probably be a good idea to make a turbo to chassis mount so ya don't crack the mani
I forgot to mention but this is absolutely happening 😁
@@itsmikelake haha sweet bro that was I first thing I seen going wrong lol
Mini turbo drift go kart , hell yeah ! 🎉
Such a sick build!!! I can hardly wait to hear it
Mike lake your the hero of the whole build 💯
Thank you bro! I appreciate you 🥰
This thing just keeps getting better and better!
Does the turbo clear the front wheels on lock? Might need to clock the turbo a little bit
She clears babyyyy! Needs some cam marton fab on it I reckon 👀
Before we know it this drift kart will end up being a full sized cr500 shifter kart with the way bro is going at it
Keep up the fantastic work mate!
👀 hell yeah I’m so keen to keep pushing the limits of the kart haha. Thank you bro!
Why not put the turbo in the front?
In the front of what? The turbo is literally at the front 🤣
That exhaust diameter might make it spool slow. Tiny single piston motor already doesn't have much exhaust velocity. The intercooler is a good idea because it'll act as a plenum for the intake charge
looking foward man
Loving these episodes,maybe an e36 body to go on the trike when finished that would be sick.
Thanks! I’ve considered a body to throw on it…there are some Datsun 240z bodies for sale from an old amusement park. Would be so cool!
@itsmikelake Now that would be cool. Keep up the good work mate 🤙
What have you done with the old carb from the 2strok engine
Do you think that the conrod and piston can handle it? (Im guessing that the gearbox should be fine, they are straight cut gears and probably used in bigger engines as well
Been a hot minute since i had pitbikes but i think you can add an oil cooler to the 125? Like the 140 ect had.
Just started putting a turbo on my own 125cc 4 strone bike tho this bike already came with fuel injection it is gonna be a bit harder to tune. Put this thing has no problem spooling a the cheap rhb31 turbo because you can feel it fall on it’s face when it hits boost😂 but this is pretty cool to see. Interesting too see how this runs vs how my bike rund🤟🤟
you can get oil pumps for those engines that run off the cam
Use a pulse pump to a mini computer radiator to feed the turbo oil. No tank or anything the computer radiator and lines will hold all the oil.
Is there a link for this fuel injection kit. Would love to install it on my agm caferacer
I'm loving this build and will be putting my order in for 1 once you finish yours. I might go twin turbo just to 1 up you 😜
Haha I wish i could make and sell these. But they're bloody time consuming! Thanks for the love bro
For your oil feed just buy a oil cooling radiator kit for a 140cc thumpstar 🤟
if you search honda c50 turbo on yt there is a video of a guy that built a litle 50cc motorbike into a 130cc turbo with an oil cooler and everything im not sure if it has fuel injection tho. looking forward to your build for sure😁
Is that the yellow evo from GT4 in the back round?
That’s my RWD evo 😁. All of the build videos are on this channel 👊🏻
Patiently waiting for the efi kit install, I've heard these can be a real PITA with possibly needing to switch over to a hall sensor on the flywheel for spark signal
I really hope this isn’t the case! But we’ll soon find out 😁
meant to be sleeping but fineeee i’ll stay up to watch haha love this series
That intake is sick as hell! I’m wondering if micro burst nitrous will be coming into the mix
Love this build, and your vids, and don’t heat wrap the intake pipe it will crack faster

i think some gussets would go a long way on the frame, especially where the top bar meets the gooseneck
What turbo are you using?
I thing it needs oil cooler
Soon 😁
Put a bigger karburator on it it give it more speed and probably more boost to 😄 love the content keep it op
Yeah boi! 100k in no time matey! Keep it up! I see that another channel pretty much used their big money and seemingly copied your project and did it all in one go 🙄 I subsequently unsubbed from their channel, LOL! Stoked to enjoy the journey with you!
If u get a oil cooler take off plate that will allow u to us the engine itself as a oil pump from the engine oil
Grindhard plumbing just did a build and turbo charged a 125 quad they found an oil pump adaptor that bolts to the engine might be worth looking at
I saw that! Absolutely love their stuff. I’ve ordered the adaptor plate 😁
Keep doing what you are doing mate i am enjoying the content
Cheers Arthur! Appreciate you bro
I like 20/30 min vids I can’t lie 🤣🤣
What are you going to do to counter the weight all at the back
We’ll extend the rear wheels backward a little 👌🏻
@@itsmikelake awesome can’t wait to see she’s gonna be a cool wee kart
Love the build but also you will want to add a brace for the turbo the the frame otherwise it will crack everything
Thanks bro! Of course I’ll add a brace and final weld everything all nicely 😁
@@itsmikelake 👍
FINALLY PART 2 YAYYYY
Don't forget to build and intake manifold chamber ❤
Absolutely! I think the front mounted intercooler will work for this 🤔
From everyone in the USA more longer videos plz this still not enuff 😂 💯😂👍🏼👍🏼 boosted go-kart❤ 👍🏼👍🏼
Loving the lil atv my little brother and i have one we wanna build as a drag atv
Hell yeah! They’re so damn fun hey. Loving building mine 😁
still watching your videos from last year
very well done !
Cheers 😁
Would test the EFI System first, before installing the turbo.
Am havin a project like this in my plan for this year.
Nice videos and interested in new ones coming!
Cheers from Germany
Thanks for the support! I’ll wire her up soon and get it running 😁
Hopefully its flutters hard and has a mean pop and bang limiter
Where did you get the turbo?
Link is in the description 😁
Can wait for the noises🎉😂
should do a pie cut turn down exhaust would be cool
Hell yeah we’re doing allll the pie cuts homie!
Need a led whip on the back
Buy a oilcooler kit to the engine and conect it to the turbo line then you have oil to the turbo!!
Purchased! Thanks for the heads up 😁
I like the color of the bmw amazing color 🎉
Thank you!
So essentially a road legal vehicle.....😂✌🏻
It needs a Mario livery ! Then test drive it as Mario 😂
you should make an electric on i know petrols way cooler but electrics fits smaller and is way more powerful (if you get a decent size motor)
Hey i have an idea flame thrower kit 😅 or 2step kit or both
I’m hoping we can make it do some two step things 😍
WHY DIDNT YOU RUN IT
Run what? 🤔
what will the top speed be?
We’re hoping to get to 60mph / 100km
@@itsmikelake that’s awesome lol with bigger tires would it go faster?
Yess
to have a turbo work on a small engine there can not be long pipes everything has to be tight and short for the best performance
This is absolutely false haha. Especially for the turbo charge piping. You actually need volume in the charge pipe on a single cylinder engine for it to be as efficient as possible.
would like to see it running with EFI!
It is he explained in the first video/previous
Yeah i rekon the 2 inch piping would be too big and would take attention away from the turbo
Hell yeah
Yo look into a Daytona 190cc 4valve when that 125 dies they make 22+ hp from the box and aren’t much bigger then that 125 meant for the same pitbikes that motor is could make it real crazy 😂

I’ve watched their whole series and taken it all into account! We’re running a front mounted intercooler that will work as a boost capacitor also 🤙🏻
Can you link the ecu
As I said in the video, it’s in the description 😛
Instead of welding a nut why dont you just run a m10 tap throgh just make sure your drilled hole is 8.5mm
Nice👌🏾
Always awesome content bro! Cant wait to see the results :D CHUR
Nitrous will get her on boost 🤣👌
Add a k&n filter and mini radiator pls
& mini intercooler! 👀

Mooooorrreee !!
Haha incoming soon!
Mbro u gotta boost making videos aye 😂
buy some cheap chinese oil cooler that included the adaptor that connected from oil line at the right side of the of the head.
Done! I ordered the kit last week 😁
Upload moreee
Next vid drops tomorrow 👊🏻
I MEANT BIGGER TURBO
short exhaust manifold better faster spool
Careful with the intercooler run, make sure you’re getting enough air to the intake quick enough or you’ll choke it.
Yeah I’m really interested to see how it all works out 🤔👀
Milking ittt
🍼🍼🍼
Mario kart any one 😁✌️
make it a 4valve
🤔 is that even possible? Haha
Imagine a 450 plus T on e85 in a gokart chasis
That would smoke Amy honda on the road 🤣🤣
👀 haha I think the 125cc is going to be a handful enough 🥲🤣
How long until the next video😭😭😩
Comment bro less go
