Turbo Motor building (65shelbyclone)

**minidragbike** · 03-28-2007, 06:07 PM

Hey there is another guy that I found that builds turbo lawnmower engines. He also does super charged, and EFI. I have been talking to him for a little while now, and he will soon become a member of this site.

He's in CA. and he also rides minbikes.

Good...I keep lookin' at this thing...tryin' to figure out how it works...maybe he'll explain it.

**minidragbike** · 03-28-2007, 07:03 PM

He did in one of these threads.

This other guy has a 8hp turbo motor that's somewhat like 65shelbyclones 10hp motor. But he was reving it high and I was thinking it was going to explode in any second. But it didn't!

Cool...I went back and found it. I can't believe I missed that post...if anybody else did...3/15...heart with no body.

Somebody sent me that pic and said it was EFI, so I was really looking forward to more info on that...thanks.

Absolutely Awesome...

A heart with no body; the Turbo 10hp Briggs & Stratton. Aka Timebomb.(56K beware!)

Did he post a build video on streetfire.net or youtube or something? I saw a turbo 8hp Briggs on one of those in the "pre-running" stage and this sounds eerily similar. I also saw one with a chain driven smogpump blower.

Yeah that must be him. Here he is riding his minibike.

Oh yeah, I've seen that video, but it's not the one I was thinking of. Shows promise, but that turbo is about 4x larger than that engine can use.

Here is the vid I was thinking of:

Turns out it is 13hp, not an 8 like I thought.

Nope this guys setup is much better like yours. I'm trying to find it so I can post it up.

I saw that last one sell for about 100 dollars on ebay. I thought he would get more considering what it was.
