why don't you get an engine from like a 5bss kit and hook a nos system up to it....i'll make a nos system for you...or a blower if you want...shouldn't be to hard...and if i made you nos system it would be a real one not something that you'll get one squrt out of and its done..i'll make er good lol...

this is for your help as well lessen . i found this zenoah engine what do you think about it ?


The brand-new GP460 engine is a 45.7cc (42mm bore, 33mm stroke) performance machine. Designed after the high-revving Zenoah RC style motors, it features a 4 transfer port 42mm cylinder, high-performance case pulsed Walbro carburetor (19mm bore, 15mm venturi, independent high and low jets) "hemi"-style combustion chamber, and full-circle crankshaft. The combustion chamber clearances have been improved for better thermal control, resulting in more uniform thermal expansion characteristics and reduced dynamic stress at high operating RPMs! Includes 78mm three-shoe inner clutch assembly preinstalled.
For Scooters: Stock engine on Trail Ripper GTR46, Super Go-Quad 46, SGSR46R, Trail Ripper Quad, and RIOT. Also fits GSR25, GSR26R, GSR29R, Go-Quad 25, and Super Go-Quad 30 when used with 78mm motor mount (DDM part hh551).
For R/C: Fits 78mm clutches used on many RC cars, boats, and airplanes.
Engine Stats: Displacement: 45.7cc. Power: 4.2+HP @11,000 RPM, 2.35 lb/ft torque @8,000 RPM. Fuel: 91 octane or higher mixed 25:1 with 2-stroke oil.
GP460 4.2+ HP Engine w/Inner Clutch - $255.00

i was talking about the engine that came with the hpi baja 5bss kit.....the only reason i said one out of a 5bss is because its a 26cc not a 23 likes in the 5b rtr.......but after seeing the engines lessen posted i would go with one of those...they look like they'd be easier to make a nos system for too because of the way its setup.... and if you do want me to build one up for you pm me after you get an engine and we can work some stuff out.

that sounds like a good engine....the only thing i notice is that it runs on 91+ octane fuel....this is not a bad thing as it will have more power but 91 octane is the "premium" at a normal gas station pump and it will cost more per gallon...but i think it would be worth it as it would give it quite abit more power...and how much gas would it really burn going in a straight line lol.

well now that you said that there is a world of choises...what about an engine from a 110cc dirt bike??...that would make it go pretty good...

i think this engine that you posted would be ok to because it says it will work in scooters

wow..how big is you son?...and what motor are you asking about to put nos on it?....i'm prety sure htat i could make it work for either of them buta higher compresion engine would be better..probobly the one you posted if you could find out the compresion ratio....i think the most expensive part of a nos system will be the bottle...and you would have to find out if you have sombody near you that refills nos bottles

ill try to find out the compresion of the first engine they told me it could do 85mph with that engine
 
they use them on scooters so minus the weight of the person i guess it should go fast
 
MGT8.0owner said:
ya cause the car itself should be a lil lighter than a scooter and you don't have a pearson on it either so it should go pretty good...put a lil seat on it and give your son rides lol

ill try to lol i dont no alot about motors so at the moment I'm confused on what to buy . the second thing is i dont have any one to race against so if it goes 100 kmh it would be good for me

do you have a set length on the track you'll run on or are you just going where you can.....and when i was going to by a dragster i made a parashute to be orperated by the brake servo but i made it in 1/10 scale..if you want i could see what i could do about making you a 1/3 scale one cause that is about the scale of your car compared to the 300inch nhra top fuel dragsters...we can work out prices or stuff after..it's not like its hard to do lol

and i'm probobly the right guy to talk to about engine stuff like this cause i helped my dad build the 863hp motor thats in our drag car...so i know what i'm talking about most of the time lol
