Me and some mates have just put a gsx400 impulse engine (400cc 4cylinder 16v) into a gokart, its all pritty much ready to be raced around a bit but we think we may have stuffed the alternator when we wer welding on the kart frame. Anyone got a gsx400 alternator lying around they wana sell cheap :P

An Impluse engine in a gokart OMG

Those things go like a cut cat in a motorcycle, (speed tax was often payed when I was riding mine), I can only imagine the carnage its going to cause as a gokart.

Good luck finding a alternator and be bloody careful with that thing

Huh.

Try a GSXR1100 motor in a go-kart.

I've always wanted to build a gokart. Never really got around to it. Hope you have alot of fun with it. Oh, and it better have a roll cage

run a constant loss system, and rip out the alternator,
generly you don't run a kart for more than a couple of hours at a time any way,

HOLY SH*T thats awesome

pretty cool but I'd still expect a proper 250 Superkart to give them (Gixxerkart)a spanking in anything but top speed and a proper 125 will do over the 400 without any problems
