MichaelG Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Evening chaps and chapettes Have been looking into getting something to work on as a project lately, just fancy having something other than the Supra that i can tinker with, but has to be something thats not gonna cost a fortune as i am saving for my holiday in September etc..... So..........i have decided to go for a Mini-Moto, but with a difference, i am going to buy one and make it "race tuned" to say the least What i am wondering is...........obviously you can buy everything cheap enough, and parts are readily available on ebay and in local Mini-Moto places, and all over the internet. I would probably put on like the Race Exhaust, Race Air Filter Intake, treaded tyres, and NGK Spark plug upgrade, but would like to modify the engine itself if poss too. Now this may seem a stupid question, but i want to go further......being 49cc, is it possible to modify the actual engine / cylinder like you would in car engine at all? Increase CC or polish / port or anything like that ? I am not too clued up on the 2 stroke engine scene etc, but hopefully someone else on here will be, they are single cylinder, but is there anything that can be mechanically done to them to make them "WAHAY MUCHO FASTER" ! The only other problem i have now is trying to decide whether to buy the race replica one, (like a race bike) or go for the Old Skool Full Chrome Chopper Motorcycle Replica (as in American Chopper) Very hard choice......the chopper parts dont seem so readily available though Anyone able to advise ? Thanks very muckle Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I've got one, and slowdog has one with nitrous on it *grin* I just ran mine on a special combination of super unleaded, kerosene and methanol... goes like the clappers..smells a bit like a bbq...but great fun...

JustGav Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Instead of going turbo, why not something like an airblower... put a small gelcell battery on it, and then a decent fan to blow air into, like an electric supercharger, bear in mind it is only a tiny 49cc two stroke, so a fan should be able to put a fair amount of pressure...

MichaelG Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Gav what ratio did you mix the SUL / Kero and Methanol ? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Erm...bit of this.... bit of that....to be honest..... Erm, around 60% SUL, 20% Methanol, 10% Kero, some 2 stroke oil and then any other flammable stuff I could find, including bbq fluid *grin* It did foul up the carb a little bit, but nothing that couldn't be sorted by some flat out fun... Had a gps speed of 45mph... and SHED loads of tank slap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
