I'd love to see what it could make with a decent gearbox or hell even a CVT from a scooter to actually take advantage of it. Similarly rip the limiters out to see how it runs
6000rpm was for generator use it can rev past 12000 without issue... Basically don't worry about reving it too high just make sure there's premix in the tank and keep and eye on the temps but youl start to loose power before you hurt anything reving it
it could definitely get it higher in the RPMs to get the turbo kicked off. but it might be difficult to get one attached to the rotary. they would also have to change the way their brake works
@@billgates23yearsago4 Get the spacing right from the driver pulley to the driven pulley and you won't need the backplate to hold the pulleys in place. The torque converter would start out with a high gearing to get the motor revving, then the pulleys change ratios to 1 to 1 for top speed. The good thing about how torque converters work. And they would have to find another way to have a brake, maybe on the other end of the jackshaft.
FINALLY! Someone got one of those cheap little turbos to work the way they wanted it to. I've seen lots of videos with guys trying to turbocharge small engines with those things. But, this is the first time it worked right.
You guys rock !!! You could probably drop another tooth on that sprocket ⚙️ to get a little more speed and still have that boost feel to it. Just saying. A lot of speed on a small bike could get sketchy !! Be safe guys. 🤣
Video is awesome guys! Love having you guys out. that rotary sounds amazing and for sure makes boost! maybe next time we can use the Polaris to get some smoother rolling shots!
Really should extend the foot peg bar..be more safe and your leg covers the engine from getting cool air..I would also make a Engine guard like street motorcycles have for when they tip over it doesn’t go all the way over will save your carb from getting smashed when radical wrecks happen and would look awesome too..
Consider: Actually find out how to measure the HP you are producing. Then do the Math. We are all curious. Besides, a go cart/ mini bike Dyno would be handy. Bo.
We'd love to get some results on the effectiveness of the turbo, unfortunately we've been pretty busy with school so we haven't been able to any real testing
for sure. I wanted to get it mowed before they came out. just need a little more notice. you can kind of see it in the video but there is a concrete road under all that grass . i can scrape off all the dirt and make it pretty smooth
Brilliant I’m trying to get one of those rotary motors in Australia to do the same thing but very rare down under just can’t find them. Excellent project guys 👊🤘
I wish to offer my 2 cents worth to the pot. First, I may have missed a reason, but why do you guys keep using this field for testing? You obviously are getting beat up on the rascal and no doubt losing some sensory feedback for tuning purposes. I know you guys know this, and are obviously having to use this field for a reason, and that's why I'm asking. No criticism, just curiosity lol. What I really want to know, I suppose, is if you will be able to test on asphalt in the near future? As for my other questions. First, you "should" be able to get some high rpms out of this little rotary. So, is it possible to use some type of aftermarket performance ignition system for small scooters? (Like a ruckus or zuma?) You might be a little too limited with the original ignition system. I get why people are suggesting a cvt type setup, but I like the idea of a high performance clutch that has some tunable functions. That way the build remains very light and compact. I encourage you to develop this thing further. I don't know about you guys, but this thing definitely seems to be a project that has exceeded expectations. A very exciting experiment that has shown a bunch of promise. I know that this is the build you had planned, and going further is beyond the plans and the budget, but some things are worth going the extra mile. I think this seems to be one of those things. All in all, this is an awesome build as it is and I congratulate you for that success.
If your forks ever give out on you, get a Azuza fork.. its the only thick forks in the minibike industry, and it makes the bike look a lot sexier. I have one on my El Tigre..
Get rid of the jack shaft and send the power thru a six speed gearbox from a small Mx bike. Get a tach. Doesn’t sound even close to 6k. Keep up the good work👍
A slightly smaller exhaust header could possibly increase exhaust velocity and help with turbo lag, just an idea if you guys want to experiment with that
Needs more RPM rotary's need to rev to the moon to make proper use of the turbo and boost .use some premix and fab up better foot rests then u can really party 🥳👌🏽
Sounds like you need a CVT or a conventional gearbox and to look at your rpm limiter and use the gearbox to keep it in the power. Hell a dyno run will be useful
Add a rpm gauge these engines can do way more than 6000 i Had one in a lownmower i gave IT another carb an aded a rmp gauge it holded Up to nearly 10000rpms Then IT broke you can Go Like 8000rpms easy
i think all that would happen if u over-rev it is the flywheel will explode. it happened to me on a old 2 stroke the shroud work great at containing it but a billet would hold up to some RPM's. almost sounds like it wants a higher rpm stall clutch. cool build!
Hello can anyone help me i am having isssues with my predator 212 running either rich or lean not sure i have a stage 1 intake and a straight pipe and i am currently running a .36 jet runs and drives fine on chock of choke if i throttle it bogs down any help will be appreciated
So tired of seeing that over-priced Rascal being pushed on every YT channel I subscribe to. Its one thing for GPS to sponsor builds with parts, its another thing for them to be dictating content by pushing these things at every channel they sponsor. BBR did one, Moto Mule did one, RBG did one, RBW did one, C&C did one, they even sent one to GHPC..sigh. Love the Rotary! That idle is so cool. Keep up the creativity, its why I subscribe....(its certainly not for seeing what GPS is pushing on you guys next. )
I wouldn't say they are dictating content, just providing who they sponsored with parts they can use to build stuff. Look at it as GPS providing the youtubers we love watching with parts they can use to make content. GPS sponsors youtubers with parts for one off projects too. A lot of the things you see on the rotary are GPS sponsored too and you love seeing that content. The little rascal BBR made is one of my favorites between all of the youtubers, it looks great. Think of it like a build off between all of the different youtubers. I can tell you that the little rascal kit BBR made was not time they could have spent building something else. it was just bonus content. It's a nice kit that is overpriced in some peoples eyes, but a well put together kit for those who want to build their first mini bike without having to worry about getting the right parts to put together. If you didn't know what you were doing you could easily buy multiple parts that are not compatible with each other and have to spend more to get what you needed.
@@DJTuningCom Thanks for the reply and I mostly agree with your sentiment. Watching the creativity of these channels is why I "tune in". And its great that GPS provides parts for these custom builds. GPS is my first stop because of their sponsorship. Each channel/build uses different ( and some same ) parts from the GPS catalog. But the creators are defining the projects, doing something different, bringing their own style to each project. I would still consider it dictating. GPS sent those kits to each channel, and I would bet money that there was an expectation that each channel build and publish a video about the kit. It's that expectation that leaves a bad taste. Instead of seeing these channels continue on with their creative projects, I get to see all of them assemble the same kit en-masse. Where is the fun in that? At least RBW made his electric. RBG cared so little about the project that they rattle canned it, slapped it together, and moved on. I talked with Edwin at GHPC and they are going to try to keep their own creativity when they build theirs. It sounds pretty cool. BTW, I subscribed, and hope the best for your channel!
