On this occasion we have focused on the economy. Yes, as you read, for only 130 dollars (124 euros) you will get an increase in speed of 400%. Eye, we have not seen anything until this moment that is approaching at this price with these benefits. But as you can assume, there is trap in this minimoto.
This time our attention has captured a different creation from the rest. Its creators have taken advantage of accessible and economical pieces to assemble, to measure, this small turbocharged diesel creation. The result does not integrate the engine of a HayabusaIt is not necessary. Here what it is about is to achieve something shocking without the need for an exorbitant budget. And, they have achieved it.
In the video you have up here, the team of Bum He achieved precisely that: a simple and affordable project. His starting point was a minimoto chassis, which avoided them disassembling an engine in good condition and spending money unnecessarily. The frame, which included everything except the engine, had a cost of $ 677 (643 euros).
The next piece of the puzzle was to find an adequate engine. They opted for a 196 CC diesel engine available at Amazon for $ 130 (124 euros). Although it is not a high performance propeller, it served as a base. When installing it in the chassis, the minimoto barely reached a maximum speed of almost 10 km/h, which, in terms of emotion, left enough to be desired.
To solve this problem with speed, they decided, rightly, add an economic turbocharger. Of course, also of Amazon and with a cost of $ 130 (others 124 euros). Its objective was to raise the maximum speed at 32 km/h, which would mean an increase of more than 300% compared to the initial yield. Given its low price, it was difficult to believe that the turbo really did something really significant. But…
Against all forecast, the turbocharger managed to increase the maximum speed by 400%, reaching 38 km/h. Impressive performance taking into account investment. At the end of everything, the full project cost $ 917 (875 euros), And seen what is seen in the video you have above, the value for money seems insurmountable.
These types of experiments show that a millionaire budget is not necessary to create an exciting machine. With creativity, ingenuity and appropriate pieces, any enthusiastic can build their own «monster” mechanic.
