Can we put a Megasquirt on our minibike with a Chinese-knockoff B&S motor? Think nitrous enrichment.
Turk needs some minibike humility, and we're gonna deliver it.

Dude... you need to think Burbank street racing for that Mini bike... mine's been so humbled it won't even come out of the corner...
Now if you want to race Honda's... I'll even bring out Tonya's Passport... simply cause it WILL run and ride... LOL

Re: Hey 'Geek
Hell yes we can do that. I was thinking of offering that up last night...
Have chad find a wrecked EFI motorcycle, grab a tiny fuel pump, 1 or 2 injectors, fab up an intake. If just running fuel control, we can trigger off the ignition (no need for a trigger wheel). If you want to go nuts and retard timing when you feed it the 75-shot, then ahve him put a trigger wheel and CKP sensor on it and we'll do timing as well.
sounds like fun to me. Sadly, a ton of the other megasquirt geeks have already done this on lawnmowers, weedeaters, and - get this - jet skis. So it's not totalyl original, but the good news is someone probably already has tuned maps we can download and fire it up! oh yeah, you'll need a hobby battery (6v is fine) to run the megasquirt until the engine is running and the generator comes online.

Re: Hey 'Geek
this would be awesome. if it was me i would make sure you widen the frame a little bit and try and put a wider tire in the back. when i had mine we use a honda pressure washer motor, widened it and put the big fat tires on it because once you hit 60-70 mph you dont want the high speed wobbles. that can be a mess. with nitrous that thing will be a monster lolComment

a microsquirt would be a good idea but they won't support a nitrous output. Gonna have to go regular megasquirt on this one.www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!Comment

Re: Hey 'Geek
the good thing is if you atch yard sales you can pick up edgers that have motors of all sizes for super cheap. the last go kart i built i had picked up a 5hp edger for 20 bucks. when i built the mini bike i had bought the pressure washer from a yard sale for 35 bucks. all it needed was a tune up (some people are just stupid) lol. i saw the bike in chads garage and it would be good for a starter but if it was me i would jump right in and drop the bigger motor in.Comment
