What is the current jetcart record, and what are you aiming at? Hi Mate Official record 116 mph on mile.... UK TA, The HX80 turbo kart I made Scot claimed he did 120 mph in the 10/110 HX82 kart I built, but that was with gps ap on phone.... not record or covered by any official body .... dont doubt he did that speed.... I am aiming for something close of over 150 mph.... perhaps more..... I need to trim down a bit..... but do have a friend thats lighter than me, and perhaps even Tom..... He has said he happy to have a go him self...... John and I have talked about 175 mph But I aim to hold record for a little time..... but am sure some are working a way to go faster Once thats done with, i will finish second engine + free power, 400SHP and drag chassis to fit it in |

Might be worth it to to change the wheel bearings to ceramics, lots of speed to gain by lowering the drag as much as possible. |

Yep.... done 150 on a bike so, erm yep a little worried.... but got to try..... yep bearing would be good one.... need to look in to it |

So little test today..... At first i did think I had a little issue, after a cup of tea and some thinking..... looking over old videos.....It seem the oil pressure switch did what its meant to Think it being the warmer today, oil was little thinner, had very same issue with last engine.... hard to know what pressure to set before testing... and in cold winter, will dial in a little more on the motor

Automatic oil switches are a good insurance, Olov and I burned both S500 turbos on the twinturbo kicksled one year when we forgot to start the oil pump and had bypassed the oil pressure switch.....

Hello every one..... a few videos for you, not a clue whats going on in 3 of 3..... clearly the engine can not run on zero oil pressure, zero fuel pressure and not showing any P2  ??
