Turbo golf cart!

[Scottishpride]

Me and my friend are planning on putting a 250cc quad engine in my golf cart. does any one have any tips like where we should mount the engine. and what the easiest and cheapest way to do his project. And how we could put bigger tires on it. is it even possible? any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can't help with the engine placement but would highly recommend a Helmet and Tek Vest....something bad is bound to happen.

My neighbour told me of a story of him and his brothers doing that to a golf cart.He said it was blast until at 40 mph when the rear axle broke and they went for nice tumble down the road.

It's what we wear in the mountains to protect our chest...broken ribs and all....



The 4 point harness sounds like a great idea too..

well i suppose a larger axle is needed... or the harness, roll bars, helmet, neck brace, holy **** handles and a seatbelt on top of the harness, and a plexi shield. whichever is cheaper!

Take lots of photos and post them as the project is worked on...good luck and make sure your life insurance is up-to-date....lol....

If you have the quad rear end, I would use that if possible. As far as the motor placement if you could "back half" the quad and use the motor mounts it may be easier may have to space out the wheels. Nothing that a sawz-all can't cure. Good luck

Mr. Sledbunny in regards to the Teck Vest, which model do you wear? I was on their web site and they make about four different models (Pro-Lite-SX, Trail Pro, Free Style, Rally Sport Off Road). I am not that an agressive rider but have found my self going sailing over the handle bars a few times and I figure a Teck Vest would be good insurance against broken ribs. Sorry for hi-jacking the forum but would like to hear your opinion.

Thanks,

Billy Boy
