Duro-Max Engine Swap
I have a 1991 club car. Has anyone tried a swap for this engine?
duro-max xp 16 hp If so, what difficulties did you have? You can see this engine on ebay-listing number 120929327693 . I'm new so I can't post a link.I would truly appreciate any advice. I am new to golf carts but am very excited about getting started. I bought my club car already lifted and with nice wheels and tires. Problem is that it is smoking pretty bad so I would like to replace the engine or get it rebuilt. To rebuild around here is extremely high. Thanks, |

Re: Duro-Max Engine Swap
Ive done it twice and I am partial to Club Cars. Its a very straight forward swap and IMO the Club Car is the best platform for it.
You will need to make a custom motor mount and exhaust system. I can post pics of my setup if you want. -Geoff |

Re: Duro-Max Engine Swap
Just installed the Parsons cam, mod list is in the video. Very happy with the performance so far, however, Iam very disappointed in the starting properties: Parsons removed alot of material off the base circle of the cam but they didnt remove the same amount from the compression release. Thus, Its impossible to start without adding a ton of lash to the exhaust valve. Torque feels like 10% improvement over stock and from about 4000-6400 its a 30-40% improvement in acceleration. Still tuning so there will be more gains. I think the CV Carb will be a HUGE improvement over the bored stock carb and Iam really itching to get the manifold done so I can get that bad boy mounted and post some driving videos! New MPH record 38mph @ 6400 on stock rods and flywheel without an issue. More vids to come! |

Re: Duro-Max Engine Swap
UPDATE: Bent down the compression release to stock specs and re-installed. Engine now starts instantly and runs very strong on the top end. Im going to mess around with the lash and jetting and once I get it dialed in, Ill post another video.
Likewise, my Partner and I feel that this is the perfect cam for the 420cc clone in a golf cart application. Therefore, we will be selling the NR-Racing 280 TQ cam and testing out the 306-TQ cam once we get the parsons cam dialed in with the big 30mm cvk carb. -Geoff |
