Hi everyone,
For the last week or two I have started in the sport of drift triking, I suggest you youtube it if you don't know what I'm on about they are pretty cool at 90kmh plus with vpc over go kart tyres for rear wheels.
Anyway I live in Hervey Bay with a population of around 100k and the trend hasn't really caught on up here yet, meaning that I get a 30 second ride down a hill then a 10 min walk back up (most people do it in groups and have someone driving a car with a rope behind it to tow them back up).
So I have done some research a decided the best bang for buck motorized setup will be a victa 2 stroke 160cc which I picked up today from the local dump for a big fat 10 bucks
Okay so far I have pulled the engine out of the mower and stripped the engine right down to just a block with a piston, rod and crank ohh and that fan lookin thing on the back. I plan on pushing as much power out of this thing a possible by doing a full rebuild (if I can) and what ever modifications aren't going to cost an arm and a leg as my car has already cost me this and I'm pretty sure it's after my nuts too lol.
So I'm open to any suggestions and links to good threads, so far I'm thinking
1: new carby (suggestions on make and model would be good)
2: I was going to up the compression by filling the top of the piston with liquid metal but it has a dome top piston on it already. Can I get a better head maybe?
3: doing some backyard porting with a dremel ( I have done my car manifold before but have no experience with small engines so a how to on this would be
4: an exhaust as the mower didn't come with one I chose it over the others as the compression felt great.
5: any other cheap go fast parts would be great
In conclusion,
How many hp can this thing push out? I'm planning on making this a all in one build thread to help others in the future, the thread will be aimed at the motor with the occasional photo of the trike, so have I posted this in the correct place? And where can I find the exact details of the motor as all I have to go by is the fact it said victa and a google of the engine number and head number didn't turn up to much but I do believe it's 160cc?
