Driving The Built Turbo EFI Go Kart For The First Time!

- In this video the predator 212 turbo go kart with electronic fuel injection finally drives! It was a lot of work getting it to this point and a whole lot of tuning. In this video to get it ready to drive we had to fabricate mounts for a small tractor alternator, that way we could have a charging system for our predator 212 kart. After that it was only a matter of getting out to a place to drive and letting the kart build boost and drive! We didn't go to crazy all we wanted to do was get a baseline and do some tuning.
Be sure to stay tuned for this thing to get a digital dash and some more tuning!

It runnnnsss! Can’t wait to see it RIPPP
Fooligan oh hi
fooligan I never thought you would be on a go kart channel
Fooligan yoooooo
Bro you better get a turbo from build going!!!
"The Spool"??????? It does not come thru on video at all??? I hear ZERO turbo noises!!! not from any camera, any angle- Just sounds like a GoKart?!!!!!
I dont hear the spool?
Its there.. Ever so quitely boosting xD
its a high pitch noise that camera mic cant pick up because it isnt like a bigger turbo
I don't here it either. Wahaha
MortalMrbfy well if he had blow off values it would be loyder but u can still hear it a little bit what phone u got?
didnt hear the turbo spooling up in the whole video😂😂
I'd make sure you have the turbo friendly version of that EFI kit. With the two bar map sensor and the bigger injector. That's most likely going to be your problem for higher RPM cut out
Ace the Army Pup wouldn’t you be able to just swap the sensor and injector
If they didn't get the turbo friendly kit then yes you can order them. Your still going to need to tune it yourself to get the most out of it .
you should make the front intake side of the turbo facing forward against the wind so it could properly breathe and get more power
Sounds like you need to get that thing dialled in properly I couldn't hear no spooling it's a awesome machine I can see you have put a lot of time in to it you just need to find that sweet spot with the fuelling and ignition timing also are you getting enough fuel when at high rpm may need a larger injector
Awesome ! Its nice to hear this thing run
YALL ARE REALLY DOING A DANG GOOD JOB...MAN O MAN GUYS IM VERY IMPRESSED!
PLEASE put an air filter on that turbo! you dont want it to die within a week.... if its not allready damaged from small debris flying into it (yes the back of the vehicle has a suction effect)
yep i noticed that aswell
He should make a rac intake 1st I dont the backwards facing turbo is very efficient
HECK YEAAHH!! Awesome to see you guys succeeded in this project(as usual)! Interesting idea, running the alternator off the axle. Can't wait to see it at Pate next year! Keep it up!
If blow-by is a problem, may I recommend gas porting the piston? It's something seldom done except on race engines being pushed to the limit, so it's perfect for this. Also, there's a .356 cam for this engine so there's still yet more power to be had.
It's awesome. What are you expecting to see on the dyno?
Nothing to see here no idea...definitely hoping for over 20
@@BuildBreakRepeat 😂🤣
Loctite wil help with those bolts. Another great video guys
The alternator idea s genius
Mad how when the camera fell off it went faster than the cart! Great video see if you can modify the camera see if it can actually handle boost
Can’t wait to see the energy kart build
Doubt you'll see this comment... but on the off chance you do; I've personally tuned several turbo cars before, including my own. You *really* need to do some data logging and check the AFR across the board... but for a start, Download the current fuel table off the PCM and open it on your computer. Save a backup copy as the "base map." Add like, about 10% fuel to the entire table, upload it to the PCM and go for a drive. See if that improves drivability at all. Also, check your spark plug and make sure the gap isn't too big. Higher compression and higher cylinder pressures will blow out spark if the gap is too big or spark is too weak. Also consider upgrading the ignition coil to a hotter performance one. Ideally you want to get the VE cells close as possible, then let autotune smooth out interpolating cells for smoother operation and efficiency. Autotune should only make small changes and would take a TON of driving to get things close.
nice guys love the spool, hey kyle from the boosted bois mentioned your channel in there turbo shopping cart vid.
Subscribed right away!! Love the name of your channel! Liked and shared!👍👍
Boostedboiz are making a efi turbo kart to maybe look what there doing and copy there design a little or ask questions at them because they have alot of experience with efi and turbos
they know what they are doing lmao
@@GumpterCrayon not with tuning
@@GumpterCrayon coulda fooled me.
@@thegenerousdegenerate9395 was talking about boostedbois knowing what they are doing imao
@@GumpterCrayon ahhhh ok. That makes much more sense... LOL😅
Finally i get to see it move.
Nice, get it right ,keep working
Another channel I love to watch
If it has a 1bar map sensor it will only be able to read 14 ish pounds witch is atmospheric pressure ( what we breath). You'll need a 2 bar map sensor to read boost pressure
If you did that weld on the axel hub and pulley, then you have leveled up quite a bit
Make a reservoir tank air, between the turbo to trottle body, you can take a best efi tuning and race more psi
You should race boosted Boiz shop cart
Yeah EFI good job boys
Put a boost gauge on it. Dirt cheap and simple. It looks hella slow, I'd love to see if it's actually making boost.
I think a 420 woulda been better. 420cc on efi. I'd try to do a roots supercharger . A few videos were they have a couple using a air pump. Or use a smaller turbo like kyle did on his from the boosted boiz
U guys put the most insane motor swaps on go karts but turn out to be amazing!😂😁 By the way the turbo go kart series😍
Guys, you need to build a bigger turbo dump pipe! The bigger the better is the rule on dump pipes 😉
Been waiting for this!!!
Way better than boosted boiz
Sundays are the best
Can't believe that charges at such low rpm. What's it off of?
i want one lol im going to be building a off road mudd buggy here soon keep an eye open for it.
I wonder how many horsepower you need to move the extra weight and drag now?
so a much cheaper and simpler solution would have been to use a draw through carb on the turbo intake, with the throttle stuck open, then a second carb right before the engine with the fuel line disconnected, just so you can have a throttle. You can't throttle pre turbo because the engine will suck oil out of the core.
Good job guys looks nice
Get that dash!!! 👺
It’s faster than last time I saw it
That motor is just too small to sufficiently spool the turbo.
That turbo is actually BIGGER than the turbo my brother in law have in his Daihatsu Mira (factory turbo, 660cc engine). I mean, even that turbo would be too big for a predator 212, let alone this one they're trying to use. It's never going to generate enough boost unless they rev that poor thing to oblivion lol It's crazy to see how many people on YT are trying to do this exact the same thing and failing at it and somehow they are just ignoring the fact that the turbo is just too big OR maybe they all know it and are just doing it for the "views", who knows...
@@fullmetaljacket7 check out boostedboiz, they are doing the most legit attempt I have seen yet. Plus they have an in house dyno and full shop to work with, so that makes things easier. They are using a lifan 200 motor.
Make sure u have the closed loop sensor on if not will never run right in the higher rpm goes off the factory wide band
What's that opening song that you use? It sounds familiar..
Yooo Boostedboiz shouted you out
John Pulgarin-Angel yeah I saw, pretty cool. Been watching them before we even started making vids.
Great video, Can't remember if you guys put rubber mounts under engine if not something is needed to reduce vibration or you will kill it or loose parts
You boys are big enough to graduate to big boy toys .
But their balls ain't...
I can’t see a self learning ecu tuning this easily.
Unless it has a boost sensor of some kind that it’s reading. Even then with the vast array of pressures it will see it will take ages, I suggest making a little rolling road, no need to make it a full blown dyno yet. Then you can sit there and put it through various loads, boost levels, give the ECU every chance it can get, then future onroad testing will be simpler for the ecu to adjust
That's seems like a lot of voltage for those tiny wires but other than that I think this is awesome.
You got an alt and batt on that thing, throw a sound system in it.
Next time if you want to go to a smaller alternator look at what comes on the kubota's specifically the two and three cylinder models it's about a third of that size
Awesome Boy'z..! Looooove Tha Build... Finally..!
One thing tho , it sound's to Me as tho Ur Turbo is Starving for Air (Facing Bacward's - Behind The Driver.!)
I think You may Really Benefit from a (Velocity - Stack)Tube (Curved Over the Driver's Shoulder Or around the side.!) Whatever Easiest (But Make Sure You Wrap Some Fine-sh Gauze over the End of 'Said Velocity Tube' To Stop Them Pesky Stone Chip's n' Fly's Wrecking The Turbo..!
That should Also Give You a Kind of RAM-AIR Effect..!
An it'll be able to Suck as Much Air as it Need's, it cud also explain Your (No - Full Throttle Scenario..!)
Good Luck Lad's, You'll Definitely Work it Out...!
Use a cone filter and a small 90 and or 180 degree bent pipe the comes out to the side. That will boost power and help with high end.
Go race Kyle From the boosted boiz
Before you change anything, just try it without that muffler on it. See what happens. 👍🏻
you should mount another hydraulic disc brake caliper so you can run a handbrake and get a manual clutch to take the "drift kart" to the next level (rbg has a video on the clutch and a link)
Rbg sucks.
@@izzyplusplusplus1004 🤣😂👏👍
Finally! Let her rip Tater chip!!
AWESOME!!!!
question...why is the waste gate without a vaccum hose connected to it?
JG Trucker you need to make more boost than the spring pressure in the wastegate for it to even do anything. They are not making enough boost to open it so there is no point in hooking it up.
Power added by turbo = .08 HP! parasitic loss from alternator =1hp! Intake on turbo without the proper Venturi...priceless!!!
I see Farmtruck there too!!!!!
Don't want to be that guy but knowing how a turbo work and sound engine wise , that rpm climb sounds far too linear for it to be seeing any notable boost... usually it hits a certain rpm range where the boost hits and the rpms will climb faster (not linear)
that was full send, there is not enough RPM for a turbo!!!!!
Yeah, that turbo isn't even spooling up high enough to make a difference.
When he said 🐢 I felt that
Very cool lol
And do a stp paint scene on this go kart very close now just need the stickers lol
Beavis and Butthead, I don't hear any spooling of the motor. I hear sputtering that sounds like a spark problem. The only thing that is not self-learning is Beavis and Butthedad.
Does it have a crank sensor for the efi?
what about a torque converter?
You have a turbo gokart noe you need to make a supercharged one with a pulse pump
I have that exact go kart
Instead of the power robbing belt drive alternator, you should've went with lithium batteries that you charge on the side. Great video though
Is that Farm Truck!? Lol
I think your mistaking alternator wine for turbo noises
1:38 did u get another kt100 kart?
Where's the air cleaner ? One small rock and it's by by turbo.
It's not really doing anything other than adding weight, anyways.
Wat happen to your rotary cart.?
1: it doesn't look/sound like that turbo is doing shit
2: threadlock your stuff or it's gonna rattle stuff loose all the time
3: do something about that front end plastics cos if you crash it's gonna end up embedded in your kneecaps :O
There is no spool from the turbo u need to go efi on that kart and work out your air mass in your air pressure tank for the turbo.
it is efi....
Did you actually listen to the video or read the intro?
Listened to the video
Its already efi....its a self learning efi....after it runs for a while it will ballpark tune itself. Theres nothing they mess with till thats done
michael lawrence the reason the turbo isn’t spooling is ine of two reasons. A. Not high enough rpm yo spool or B. The turbo is too bit for the exhaust to spool it. Either that or the spool is just too quiet to be heard over the camera
Needs a transmission, at least 2 gears so the turbo has a purpose.
I think the rotary shifter is a much better build. Just MHO!
Why does it need a battery and alternator and no starter.
So it will only charge while running?
Ummmm ya, that's the way alternators work.
@@mattmoilanen3813 what i mean is because his alternator is hooked to the axle charging will only happen if its rolling/running but not idling.
@@evoemperor3776 obviously
My dudes ain't gonna lie but the channel's logo lowkey looks like the back of a LaFerrari
For a digital dash get a mychron 5
I want to see the Turbo EFI go kart race the Rotary shifter kart
mine dos 68 an all it has is a rod cam mikuni 14cc head an pipe the motor is on a vox
Put that turbo on the rotary kart. Than you will make power!
Yo cool video
Race the boostedboiz
We can't hear the spool :(
I wanna learn how to work on motors like this anybody know the classes name or is there classes
All hands on is the best way. Get some old mowers from the trash and start there.
Now build another 212 with nitrous and compare them
Challenge kyle to a race
The shopping kart would kill it
You should contact pfi speed and race the shopping kart. 1million views easy.
Build a wing for it.
Probably has more power than a Miata
ASK BOOSTED BOIZ FOR HELP BECAUSE YOU'RE STRUGGLING
Muito bom
Queria muito uma turbina dessa pra coloca no meu kart
